Registering an Azure app

Before you add an ADF integration to Databand, you need to register an Azure app.

Prerequisites

Before you begin the integration process, you need to have:

  • An active Azure subscription
  • Access to the Azure portal
  • Permissions to manage Azure resources, including the ability to register an app with Microsoft Entra ID

Registering an Azure app

Before you begin configuring your new integration, you need to register an app through Microsoft Entra ID in your Azure subscription. The app controls which ADF factories Databand can access. Databand needs only a read-only permission to establish an integration.

To register your new app:

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal.
  2. In the portal menu, select Microsoft Entra ID. If you changed your list of favorites in this menu and do not see it, you can type "Entra" in the search bar. You can find the Microsoft Entra ID in the Services section of the search results.
  3. In the portal menu, click App registrations.
  4. Click New registration from the main toolbar.
  5. Give your new app a name, then click Register.
  6. The portal redirects you to the Overview page for your new app. Copy the value in the Application (client) ID field - you will need it when you create the integration in Databand.
  7. Click Certificates & secrets in the Manage menu.
  8. Click New client secret in the Client service tab.
  9. Give your new secret a description and an expiration date. Click Add.
  10. When the secret is created, copy the value from the Value column (it is visible only for a short time after creation). You will need it when you create the integration in Databand.
  11. Click Properties in the Entra ID menu. Copy the value in the Tenant ID field - you will need it when you create the integration in Databand.
  12. Grant read-only permissions to your application for all ADF factories that you want to monitor with Databand. For more information about creating and assigning roles in ADF, go to the Microsoft documentation.

Before you leave the Azure portal, copy the Subscription ID - you will need it when you create the integration in Databand. To get the Subscriptions ID, go to the Services section and click Subscriptions. Your ID is displayed next to the name of the subscription.
