vDiscovery on VNets can be performed for vNIOS appliances deployed on only on VNets in Azure public cloud and Azure Government only. Other Azure environments (see below) may not be supported. |
A vDiscovery job retrieves information about virtual entities in cloud environments that are managed through a cloud management platform (CMP) such as Azure. The current vDiscovery feature supports tenants, networks, and compute VMs only. It does not support data that is retrieved from load balancer networks, load balancer VMs, Kubernetes platform VMs, application gateways, service VMs, SQL VMs, or any other VMs that are created by cloud services such as Kubernetes service or analytics service, where the IPAM is handled by the respective orchestration engines of the cloud provider.
Note that if the vDiscovery job retrieves unsupported data from Azure, then it impacts the performance of the vDiscovery process.

- Configure DNS resolver in NIOS, as described in the Configuring DNS Resolver section.
- Register an application with the Azure Active Directory through the Azure classic portal, as described in Integrating vDiscovery with Azure Active Directory.
- Add the new application as a user through the Azure resource manager portal, as described in Adding vDiscovery Application as a New User.
Perform vDiscovery for service instances and subnets in selected VNets. For detailed information, refer to Configuring vDiscovery Jobs in the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.
When configuring the endpoint for the vDiscovery job, ensure that you select the following:
- Server Type: Select Azure.
- Client ID: Use the CLIENT ID you obtained for the application you created in Azure.
- Client Secret: Enter the key value of the application to authenticate the user account.
- Service Endpoint: Use the token endpoint URL you selected for the new application.
- After performing a vDiscovery job on your VNets, you can view and manage discovered data in NIOS. For detailed information, refer to the Infoblox NIOS Documentation. You can also create DNS records for discovered IP addresses. For information, see Creating DNS Records for Discovered IP Addresses.
