Adding an Azure SQL Managed Instance

1. Go to the Configuration page and under Estate, select Monitored servers.

1. Click Add > Azure SQL Managed Instance. You will be redirected to the Add Azure SQL Managed Instance page:
   
   
   
2. In the Azure SQL Managed Instance host name field, enter the fully-qualified host name of the Azure SQL Managed Instance you wish to monitor, eg myazuremanagedinstance.database.windows.net.

3. You will need to select your preferred Authentication Method and enter the corresponding credentials to connect.

   New name for Azure AD

   Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) has been renamed to Microsoft Entra ID.

   As we transition to the new name, you may notice that either name is used in Redgate Monitor.

   
   

   1. We support the following authentication methods for Redgate Monitor to gain access to the Azure SQL Managed Instance:
      1. SQL Server Authentication
         • This method uses logins created in the managed instance. You must supply a username and password so that Redgate Monitor can connect to the instance for monitoring.
         • All credentials are stored securely in the base monitor database.
         • For more information see here
      2. Microsoft Entra – Password
         • This method requires a Microsoft Entra ID to be associated with the Azure SQL Managed Instance. You must supply a username and password for an account provisioned on the Microsoft Entra ID that has sufficient access to the Azure SQL Managed Instance.
         • All credentials are stored securely in the base monitor database.
      3. Microsoft Entra – Integrated
         • This method requires a Microsoft Entra ID to be associated with the Azure SQL Managed Instance and should be set up for Integrated access.
      4. Microsoft Entra - Managed Identity
         • This method requires a system-assigned or user-assigned managed identity to be associated with the Azure SQL Managed Instance.
         • For user-assigned managed identities, the Client/App ID will need to be specified.
         • For more information see here.
         • The Client/App ID is stored securely in the base monitor database. 
4. Pick a group from the dropdown

Once a connection is established and a data collection event succeeded, the status is displayed as  Monitoring (Connected).   If Redgate Monitor encounters a problem and displays a different status, see  Monitoring status explained.
