Resource Dependency requirements #34

Closed devlife closed 3 years ago

devlife commented 3 years ago

I did Export-AzViz and used all of the default values but the only resource dependency arrow drawn was from a web app to the resource group. Under what circumstances would a dependency be drawn between a web app and application insights, for example?

PrateekKumarSingh commented 3 years ago

Hey @devlife, right now resource dependency is drawn on basis of:

  1. DependsOn property in the Resource Group ARM template which is exported/parsed automatically to obtain this property
  2. If a Network Watcher is detected in the Location of the target Resource Group, then it can run Get-AzNetworkWatcherTopology cmdlet to obtain network associations/dependency like VM -> NIC

I'll add more documentation to make this point clear.
