Azure > Application Insights > Application Insight > Active

Take an action when an Azure Application Insights application insight is not active based on the Azure > Application Insights > Application Insight > Active > * policies.

The Active control determines whether the resource is in active use, and if not, has the ability to delete / cleanup the resource. When running an automated compliance environment, it's common to end up with a wide range of alarms that are difficult and time consuming to clear. The Active control brings automated, well-defined control to this process.

The Active control checks the status of all defined Active policies for the resource (Azure > Application Insights > Application Insight > Active > *), raises an alarm, and takes the defined enforcement action. Each Active sub-policy can calculate a status of active, inactive or skipped. Generally, if the resource appears to be Active for any reason it will be considered Active.

Note: In contrast with Approved, where if the resource appears to be Unapproved for any reason it will be considered Unapproved.

See Active for more information.

Azure > Application Insights > Application Insight > Approved

Take an action when an Azure Application Insights application insight is not approved based on Azure > Application Insights > Application Insight > Approved > * policies.

The Approved control checks the status of the defined Approved sub-policies for the resource. If the resource is not approved according to any of these policies, this control raises an alarm and takes the defined enforcement action.

For any enforcement actions that specify if new, e.g., Enforce: Delete unapproved if new, this control will only take the enforcement actions for resources created within the last 60 minutes.

See Approved for more information.

Azure > Application Insights > Application Insight > CMDB

Record and synchronize details for the Azure Application Insights application insight into the CMDB.

The CMDB control is responsible for populating and updating all the attributes for that resource type in the Turbot CMDB.

Note: If CMDB is set to Skip for a resource, then it will not be added to the CMDB, and no controls that target it will run.

CMDB controls also use the Regions policy associated with the resource. If region is not in Azure > Application Insights > Application Insight > Regions policy, the CMDB control will delete the resource from the CMDB.

Azure > Application Insights > Application Insight > Discovery

Discover all Azure Application Insights application insight resources and add them to the CMDB.

The Discovery control is responsible for finding resources of a specific type. It periodically searches for new resources and saves them to the CMDB. Once discovered, resources are then responsible for tracking changes to themselves through the CMDB control.

Note: Discovery and CMDB controls also use the Regions policy associated with the resource. If the region is not in Azure > Application Insights > Application Insight > Regions policy, the CMDB control will delete the resource from the CMDB.

Azure > Application Insights > Application Insight > Tags

Take an action when an Azure Application Insights application insight tags is not updated based on the Azure > Application Insights > Application Insight > Tags > * policies.

If the resource is not updated with the tags defined in Azure > Application Insights > Application Insight > Tags > Template, this control raises an alarm and takes the defined enforcement action.
