Register a new application for the Data Collector

Azure requires a new Application be registered before you can interact with it.

To register a new Application for the Data Collector

You must be logged into your account within Azure Windows PowerShell. The following steps are performed at the Microsoft Azure PowerShell prompt.

  1. Set the context using your Tenant ID and Subscription ID by entering:
    Set-AzureRMContext -SubscriptionId <SUBSCRIPTIONID> -TenantId <TENANTID>
  2. Set the Password in a SecureString:
    $securePwd = ConvertTo-SecureString "<PASSWORD>" -AsPlainText -Force
  3. Revise the DisplayName, Hostname, and Azure Default Directory. Copy/paste the following at the prompt:

    Note:

    Azure Default Directory can be found in your Azure account under Subscription>Overview.

    $azureAdApplication = New-AzureRmADApplication -DisplayName "<DISPLAYNAME>" -HomePage "https://<HOSTNAME>.<AZURE-DEFAULT-DIRECTORY>" -IdentifierUris "https://<HOSTNAME>.<AZURE-DEFAULT-DIRECTORY>" -Password $securePwd -AvailableToOtherTenants $true
  4. Enter the following to display your application parameters:
    $azureAdApplication
  5. Write down the Subscription ID, Tenant ID, Application ID, and the Password you chose. The Application ID is displayed in the output. The Data Collector requires those four parameters.
