Has anyone successfully used the API Poller to poll Azure? I'm in desperate need of some help to get this working. Can anyone provide some information on the steps needed to successfully poll Azure (from start to finish)? Please help!

sturdyerde Sure thing... I have my GET request all figured out in POSTMAN. The part I am unclear on is how to do I use token based authentication (that expire) in the Solarwinds API Poller? It only uses basic username and PW based authentication.
To give more context, I followed this blog post for my authentication and to create my GET request for the Azure resources I need.
sturdyerde My apologies, see below... This should be very helpful for other people as well.

Not too worried about transfering the GET request and headers to the Orion API Poller, more just trying to figure out how to do the authentication.
A newer resource may be what you need. Azure and the Azure modules have received a lot of updates over the past 2.5 years. One of these two posts may cover what you need.
Also keep in mind that the API polling feature in SAM is very new. The 2020.2 release has a LOT of improvements coming in this area. Keep an eye out for the GA release or try a test installation of the RC.
Not sure if you saw my reply because of how it got posted into the thread. Let me know if the newer walk-throughs help.
Thanks for the response and help! I actually just installed 2020.2 earlier today. It's pretty cool and looks like it may get me past my struggles. Just need to mess around with it a little more. I should have an update over the next few days.
LatteLarry interested in your outcome. We are still on 2019.4 and a device requires token authorisation
