What's New In the Panorama Plugin for Azure 4.2.0

This release introduces the following enhancement for the Panorama plugin for Azure.

Azure Workspace-based Application Insights Support

The VM-Series firewall for Azure supports Azure's workspace-based Application Insights. This allows the VM-Series firewall on Azure can publish custom PAN-OS metrics natively to Azure workspace-based Application Insights that you can use to monitor the firewalls directly from the Azure portal. These metrics allow you to assess performance and usage patterns that you can use to set alarms and take action to automate events such as launching or terminating instances of the VM-Series firewalls.
Complete the following steps to migrate your existing classic Application Insights to a workspace-based Application Insights. For more information about migrating, visit the Azure documentation portal.
The migration process is permanent and cannot be reversed.
  1. Check if your current Application Insights resource is classic or workspace-based.
    1. Log in to the Azure portal.
    2. Select Resource GroupsApplication InsightsProperties.
      If the Workspace field is empty, the Application Insights resource is classic. Continue with this procedure to migrate to a workspace-based resource.
