What does it do?

The Azure Assets Input collects data about Azure resources and their relationships to each other. Information about the following resources is currently collected:

• Azure VM instances

Configuration

    subscription_id: <your subscription ID>
    client_id: <your client ID>
    client_secret: <your client secret>

• subscription_id: The unique identifier for the azure subscription
• client_id: The unique identifier for the application (also known as Application Id)
• client_secret: The client/application secret/key
• tenant_id: The unique identifier of the Azure Active Directory instance

• The environment variables AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET and AZURE_TENANT_ID are set.
• az login was ran on the host where assetbeat is running.

Note: if subscription_id is omitted, the input will collect data from all the subscriptions you have access to.
