Prerequisites and Monitoring Credentials
Monitoring credentials are required to monitor most entities using Cloud agents. Defining monitoring credentials is a prerequisite step for adding most entities to your monitoring service. Each entity that requires monitoring credentials must have these created or identified ahead of time. Credentials are then passed on to the Cloud agents using credentials JSON files. In addition to monitoring credentials, some entity types may require additional setup and configuration before they can be monitored by Infrastructure Monitoring. The following table provides links to prerequisite and monitoring credential information.
