    For details, see Create client secret.

  4. In Endpoint, select the desired region. The default endpoint is PublicCloud.

  5. To set up a proxy server, select the desired proxy in Proxy. Proxies can be configured in the Proxy profiles tab in the Snow Integration Manager main interface.

Use the options under Filter settings to set filters for which subscriptions and resource groups you want to import:

  • Select Don't import selected subscriptions and resource groups to exclude the selected subscriptions and resource groups from the import.

  • Select Only import selected subscriptions and resource groups to include the selected subscriptions and resource groups in the import.

Use the options under Naming to make changes to Site Name and appending of Resource Group name:

  • Enter your own site name in Override Site Name. This will override any automatically detected site name, for example, the site name set in SIM.

  • Select Append Resource Group name to Site name to add the resource group name to the site name for every resource group. The site name will then be different for servers in different resource groups.

    Note

    Option Append Resource Group name to Site name will most likely have unintended consequences and should not be used unless you understand exactly what it does and you are certain that it is supposed to be used in your environment.

    Selecting this option will require you to reconfigure your agent deployment to allow discovered hosts to be matched to their agents.
