What's New in Azure 5.1.1

Tag Pruning

The Panorama plugin for Azure version 5.1.1 introduces tag pruning feature to increase the scalability and the number of tags collected by the plugin. Tag Pruning enables the Azure 5.1.1 plugin to collect an increased number of tags and push them to Panorama without IP addresses. With Tag Pruning, the plugin can send empty tags to Panorama and only send IP addresses for tags used in Security Policies. On Panorama, under objects all dynamic address groups that are not used in security policy will not be populated with IP addresses.
You must commit after you enable/disable tag pruning from CLI to reflect the change.

Label Filtering Option in Notify Group

Panorama plugin for Azure 5.1.1 adds support for selecting an option to filter required labels that have tags generated for them. This allows you to limit the number of tags to sort through when you create a device address group.
When configuring a notify group, you will have the option to Select All Tags, or select from Custom Tags. The Select All Tags option will enable the plugin to generate tags for every label it learns.
Under the Custom Tags option, you can select predefined tags and user tags. The user tags option enables you to specify the labels that you prefer and generate required tags.
You must enter the key of the user tag to configure the user tags. For example, StoreStatus and UserID. Service tags are treated as user tags.

One Service Principal for Multiple Monitoring Definitions

The Panorama plugin for Azure 5.1.1 supports one service Principal for multiple monitoring definitions. When configuring a monitoring definition, you can select a region that you want to monitor. Only those resources residing in the selected region will have IP-tags generated for them. For Azure Regions, if you select All option, all resources configured under your Azure subscription will have the IP-tags generated.
No two monitoring definitions can have the exactly same Service Principal and Azure Regions configured. The plugin will fail the commit operation for monitoring definitions that have the same Service Principal and Azure Regions configured.
You can select a monitoring definition and click Dashboard to view the tag details of a monitoring definition details by region.
The region filter on the Monitoring Definition Detailed Status dialogue box filters the dashboard details by location. Click more to view the IP address of the tag and then go to Associated tags to view all tags associated with this IP address.
