This article shows how to manage the settings for Elastic resources.
[!INCLUDE manage]
Elastic resources are available as Serverless and Cloud Hosted. For more information, see Compare Elastic Cloud Hosted and Serverless.
This screenshot shows a Cloud Hosted resource:
:::image type="content" source="media/manage/resource-overview.png" alt-text="A screenshot of a Cloud Hosted Elastic resource in the Azure portal with the overview displayed in the working pane." lightbox="media/manage/resource-overview.png":::
The details include:
- Resource group
- Status
- Region
- Version
- Size
- Tags
- Subscription
- Advanced Settings
- Elasticsearch endpoint
- Deployment URL
- Billing term
::: zone pivot="elastic-search"
A Serverless resource has slightly different overview details:
:::image type="content" source="media/manage/elastic-search-resource.png" alt-text="A screenshot of an Elastic Search resource in the Azure portal with the overview displayed in the working pane." lightbox="media/manage/elastic-search-resource.png":::
The details include:
- Resource group
- Type
- Region
- Subscription
- Advanced Settings
- Elasticsearch endpoint
- Kibana endpoint
- Billing term
To manage your resource, select the links next to corresponding details.
Below the essentials, you can navigate to other details about your resource by selecting the links.
- Ingest logs and metrics from Azure Services allows you to send logs and metrics from your Azure services resources.
- Add more data sources in Elastic allows you to configure extra data sources in Elastic.
- View and manage your data in Elastic allows you to create interactive dashboards to visualize your data in real time.
When you created the Elastic resource, you configured which logs are sent to Elastic. If you need to change those settings, in the left menu, select Elastic deployment configuration > Logs & metrics.
Make the needed changes to how logs are sent to Elastic.
To view the list of resources emitting logs to Elastic, select Elastic deployment configuration > Monitored resources in the service menu.
Tip
You can filter the list of resources by type, subscription, resource group, region, and whether the resource is sending logs to Elastic.
To monitor multiple subscriptions:
-
Select Elastic deployment configuration > Monitored Subscriptions.
-
Select Add subscriptions from the Command bar.
The Add subscriptions experience that opens shows subscriptions you have Owner role assigned to and any Elastic resource created in those subscriptions that is already linked to the same Elastic organization as the current resource.
-
Select the subscriptions you want to monitor through the Elastic resource and select Add.
[!IMPORTANT] Setting separate tag rules for different subscriptions isn't supported.
Diagnostics settings are automatically added to the subscription's resources that match the defined tag rules.
Select Refresh to view the subscriptions and their monitoring status.
Once the subscription is added, the status changes to Active.
To unlink subscriptions from an Elastic resource:
-
Select Elastic deployment configuration > Monitored Subscriptions from the service menu.
-
Select the subscription you want to remove.
-
Choose Remove subscriptions.
To view the updated list of monitored subscriptions, select Refresh from the Command bar.
You can install Elastic agents on virtual machines.
To monitor resources for virtual machines, select Elastic deployment configuration > Virtual machines in the service menu.
[!INCLUDE install-elastic-agent]
To configure Azure OpenAI, select Elastic deployment configuration > Azure OpenAI configuration.
-
From the working pane's command bar, select Add.
-
In the Add OpenAI Configuration panel, select your preferred Azure OpenAI Resource and Azure OpenAI Deployment.
-
Select the Create button.
After the Connector is created, navigate to Kibana.
Note
Kibana is a user interface that lets you visualize your Elasticsearch data and navigate the Elastic Stack. Your Connector can be used in Elastic's Observability AI Assistant. It can provide contextual responses to your natural language prompts on your observability data by invoking the Azure OpenAI deployment.
The details of the deployment, such as the URL and API keys, are passed on to Elastic to prepare the connector to be used with Elastic's AI Assistant.
Currently, Elastic resources support only deployments of text or chat completion models, like GPT-4. For more information, see OpenAI connector and action.
-
In the left menu, select Elastic deployment configuration > Traffic Filter.
-
Enter a name for the filter.
-
Select a Filter Type:
-
IP Address and CIDR Blocks
Enter your IP List
-
Private Link
Choose either Select Existing or Add Manually and then fill in the required fields.
-
-
Select Create
Important
The traffic filter must be in the same region as the deployment.
If a traffic filter is no longer needed, unlink it from deployment and then delete it.
To access all Elastic resources and deployments you created using the Azure or Elastic portal experience, go to the Connected Elastic Resources tab in any of your Azure Elastic resources.
You can easily manage the corresponding Elastic deployments or Azure resources using the links, provided you have owner or contributor rights to those deployments and resources.
[!INCLUDE delete-resource]
Important
- A single Azure Marketplace SaaS unifies billing for multiple Elastic deployments.
- If you wish to completely stop billing for the marketplace SaaS, delete all linked Elastic deployments created from the Azure portal or Elastic portal.

To perform these actions, you must have both of the following Azure permissions:
Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/writeMicrosoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/delete
-
The resource provider for Elastic (Elastic.Observability) must be registered in the target subscription.
Important
When you link a subscription to an Elastic resource, ensure that the subscription isn't scope locked (read-only or delete locks). Scope locks can prevent the addition and removal of diagnostic settings. For more information, see Lock your Azure resources.
