In the Discovery Options section of the Microsoft Azure Setup page page, you configure the information that you want to import from the Azure infrastructure and how you want to import it.
Discover Azure Resources options
| Field/Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Azure Virtual Networks/Subnets | Select this checkbox to import all Azure virtual networks and subnets. Private virtual networks and subnets are converted into IPv4 and IPv6 blocks and networks on Address Manager. |
| Azure Public IP Ranges | Select this checkbox to imports Azure public address
space information of virtual machines and load balancers within the
region. Public virtual networks are converted into IPv4 and IPv6 blocks
and networks on Address Manager. Note: When this option is unchecked, the
virtual machine and load balancer information is still imported into
Address Manager; however, the IP ADDRESSES of
Public virtual machine and load balancer devices within
Address Manager will be blank.
|
| Azure Private
Endpoints Endpoint View |
Select this checkbox to import private endpoint DNS
record information. Private endpoints are converted into private
endpoint DNS records on Address Manager, with the prefix defined in the
BlueCat Target Zone for Private Endpoints
field. Also, in Endpoint View, enter the name
of the view that will be created in Address Manager or select an
existing view in Address Manager that will contain the Azure private
endpoint information.
|
| Azure Virtual Machines |
Select this checkbox to import all Azure Virtual Mmachine (VM) information. VMs are converted into devices on Address Manager. CDV will discover all VMs under Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS) management. |
| Azure Provided Name Resolution
(Internal) Provided Name Resolution View (Internal) |
Select this checkbox to import internal DNS record
information. Also, in Provided Name Resolution View
(Internal), either enter the name of the view that
will be created in Address Manager, or select an existing view in
Address Manager that will contain the internal Azure provided name
resolution information.
|
| Azure Load Balancers |
Select this checkbox to import all Azure load balancer information. This is converted into the load balancer device type on Address Manager. |
| Azure Provided Name Resolution
(External) Provided Name Resolution View (External) |
Select this checkbox to import external DNS record information. Also, in Provided Name Resolution View (External), enter the name of the view that will be created in Address Manager or select an existing view in Address Manager that will contain the external Azure provided name resolution information.

Azure Kubernetes options
| Field/Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Azure Kubernetes Service |
Select this checkbox to import all Azure Kubernetes Service Clusters information of the resource group. Each Azure Kubernetes Service Cluster is converted into devices on Address Manager. The devices are imported into a separate BAM Configuration (including related Kubernetes resources such as Load Balancers and virtual machines from VM Scale Sets) and tagged with respective tags. |
| Azure Internal Resources within Kubernetes Engine |
Select this checkbox to also discover Kubernetes pod and service resources within Azure Kubernetes Service Clusters. CDV will place those pod and service resources in the same BAM Configuration that holds discovered Azure Kubernetes devices. Note:
In order to perform discovery and visibility jobs on Azure Kubernetes Service Clusters, CDV must access Azure infrastructure as a user whose Azure Role has the following permission: |
| Kubernetes View | Select the Address Manager View that will contain the discovered Kubernetes resources. To use the default View name, select Azure Kubernetes View. |
Azure DNS Zone options
| Field/Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Azure DNS Zones (Private) Private DNS Zone View |
Select this checkbox to import all private DNS zone record
information. This is converted into private DNS records in Address

select an existing view in Address Manager that will contain the
private view records for the DNS Zones.
|
| Azure DNS Zones
(Public) Public DNS Zone View |
Select this checkbox to import all public DNS zone
record information. This is converted into public DNS records in Address

select an existing view in Address Manager that will contain the
public view records for the DNS Zones.
|
BlueCat Target Zone options
| Field/Option | Description |
|---|---|
|
Target Zone for Private Endpoints Auto Create Zones for Private Endpoints |
These fields are available only if Azure Private Endpoints is selected as an Azure resource to discover. In Target Zone for Private Endpoints, enter the name of the DNS zone on BAM that will contain resource records from Azure Private Endpoints. CDV will create a zone in BAM based on the entered zone name. Select the Auto Create Zones for Private Endpoints checkbox to create separate subzones for each private endpoint region under the specified Target Zone for Private Endpoints. If cleared, information will be stored in a single zone. |
|
Target Zone for Virtual Machines and Load Balancers Auto Create Zones for Virtual Machines and Load Balancers |
These fields are available only if Azure Load Balancers is selected as an Azure resource to discover. In Target Zone for Virtual Machines and Load Balancers, enter the name of the DNS zone on BAM that will contain Azure name resolution DNS records. Select the Auto Create Zones for Virtual Machines and Load Balancers checkbox to embed Azure availability information for Virtual Machines and load managers into the provided name resolution. Clear the checkbox otherwise. |
Other options
| Field/Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Remove Deleted Resources (Tag Deleted Views/Zones during Rediscovery) |
Select this checkbox to automatically delete resources (except for DNS Views and Zones) that currently exist in Address Manager, but were not found upon rediscovery. Missing View and Zone resources will be tagged for manual inspection and removal. For more details on viewing and manually deleting these tagged resources, see Deleting resources flagged as missing during rediscovery. |
| Dynamic Update of DNS Resource Records |
Available only when connecting to Address Manager v9.4.0 or later. Select this checkbox to update the DNS records in Address Manager and automatically deploy the changes to the primary BDDS of that zone using selective deployment. This checkbox is disabled by default and only available if you select the Enable Visibility after Discovery checkbox. Attention:
You must perform a full DNS deployment to the managed BDDS before any subsequent selective deployments can be performed. If you are configuring the managed BDDS to exclusively manage the
cloud infrastructure, you can run a Discovery job to import the
cloud infrastructure into your Address Manager:
