CDV supports discovery and visibility on Azure infrastructures with multiple virtual machines (VMs) that have related IPs and are distributed on different resource groups.

CDV imports host records for these VMs as generic records. Within Address Manager, CDV links the VMs with their related IP addresses in the User-Defined Link (UDL) named CDV Device-IP Link.

Links between VMs and their IPs are established only after both resource groups are discovered. That is, both the group that contains the VMs and the group that contains the Virtual Networks and their IP addresses.

Note: To make sure links between the VMs and their IP addresses are properly established, both resource groups must be discovered sequentially. When running discovery jobs, make sure the job that discovers one resource group finishes before starting the other. This includes during initial discovery, during rediscovery, when restarting CDV jobs after database migration, when restarting containers, and when importing exported jobs.

UDL example

Within Address Manager, you can find the CDV Device-IP Link in the User-Defined Link Types workflow:

Within the UDL, each link between a VM device and its destination is a separate entry:
