Tag your Microsoft Azure instances

Create dynamic tag rules to tag your Azure instances based on Azure metadata as collected by the Azure Connector. For each tag rule you’ll provide a search query with Azure instance information.

It's easy to get started! 1) Click New Tag, 2) choose the Cloud Asset Search tag rule, 3) select the cloud provider, and 4) enter your query. Just start typing in the Query field and we’ll show you the Azure attributes you can search.

 

Good to Know The syntax is different when writing queries for tag rules than when searching assets in the Assets list. Be sure to follow the syntax tips in the drop-down when writing your query.
