Connector Setup

Complete the following steps to configure the Microsoft Azure Cost Details connector. Before you begin, ensure that all prerequisites described on the Prerequisites page are met.

 

Step 1: Register an Application in Microsoft Entra ID

1.Sign in to the Azure portal.

2.Navigate to Microsoft Entra ID > App registrations > New registration.

3.Enter a descriptive name for the application (for example, Raynet Data Hub – Cost Details).

4.Under Supported account types, select Accounts in this organizational directory only.

5.Select Register.

6.On the application overview page, copy and save the Application (client) ID and the Directory (tenant) ID.

 

Step 2: Create a Client Secret

1.In the registered application, navigate to Certificates & secrets > Client secrets > New client secret.

2.Enter a description and select an expiration period.

3.Select Add.

4.Copy and save the secret Value immediately. It is not displayed again after you leave this page.

 

Step 3: Assign the Required Permission on the Billing Scope

1.Determine the billing scope (billing account, billing profile, or subscription) from which cost data should be retrieved.

2.Ask your Azure billing administrator to assign the appropriate Billing role or Azure RBAC role to the registered application on that scope.

 

Note: The exact role required for the Cost Details API is pending Engineering confirmation. Consult your Azure billing documentation or contact Raynet support for guidance on the current permission requirement.

 

Step 4: Configure the Connector in Raynet One Data Hub

1.In Raynet One Data Hub, navigate to the connector configuration.

2.Select Microsoft Azure Cost Details as the connector type.

3.Enter the Client ID, Tenant ID, and Client Secret obtained in the previous steps.

4.Enter the Scope as the ARM Resource ID of the billing scope. Examples:/providers/Microsoft.Billing/billingAccounts/12345

5./subscriptions/12345678-1234-5678-9012-123456789012

 

Note on Multiple Scopes: To collect cost data from multiple billing scopes or tenants, create a separate connector instance for each scope.
