Create a storage account

Access Azure Cloud Shell to run CLI commands from your web browser using az.

Create a Storage account in the same region as your Virtual Network.

1. List your Virtual Networks, their Resource groups, and Regions.

Command

az network vnet list --query "[].{Name:name, Region:location, ResourceGroup:resourceGroup, AddressSpace:addressSpace.addressPrefixes[0], ProvisioningState:provisioningState, SubscriptionId:id}" --output table

1. Set some environment variables for the Resource Group, Region and Virtual Network you want to send flow from to make cutting and pasting the commands from the instructions in this document a little easier.

REGION=     # Region of your Virtual Network, example: REGION=eastus
VNET=       # The Virtual Network name, example: VNET=ProductionA1
RGRP=       # The Resource Group of your Virtual Network, example: RGRP=PROD

3. Create a Storage account in the same Region as your Virtual Network you want to add to Netography Fusion.

    --name <storage-account-name> \
    --resource-group $RGRP \
    --location $REGION> \
