## What it does

This skill supplies reference patterns and DQL templates for inspecting Azure infrastructure inside Dynatrace Smartscape. Entity names derive directly from ARM resource provider paths under the `AZURE_*` prefix, turning compute instances into `AZURE_MICROSOFT_COMPUTE_VIRTUALMACHINES`.

The skill organizes guidance into specific reference files covering tasks like VNet networking, Azure SQL, container environments, and storage auditing. Deep configuration details are extracted directly from the raw ARM JSON stored in `azure.object`. Broad queries return excessive entity noise, making explicit filtering by `azure.subscription` and `azure.resource.group` an operational necessity.

## Requirements
- Works with: Azure, Dynatrace

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai --skill dt-obs-azure -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/dt-obs-azure/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/dt-obs-azure/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai --skill dt-obs-azure -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/dt-obs-azure/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai --skill dt-obs-azure -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/dt-obs-azure/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai dt-obs-azure
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/dt-obs-azure/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai --skill dt-obs-azure -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai --path skills/dt-obs-azure
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/dt-obs-azure/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai --skill dt-obs-azure -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/Dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai/tree/HEAD/skills/dt-obs-azure/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- Query Azure resources using DQL and the smartscapeNodes function
- Group infrastructure breakdown across subscriptions and resource groups
- Inspect NSG security rules for open ports and 0.0.0.0/0 source addresses
- Audit storage accounts and virtual machine configurations via azure.object

## Example prompts
- Summarize Azure resource count by subscription and resource group using smartscapeNodes
- Check NSG rules for 0.0.0.0/0 access and open ports

# Azure Cloud Infrastructure

Monitor and analyze Azure resources using Dynatrace Smartscape and DQL. Query Azure services, audit security, manage organizational hierarchy, and plan capacity across your Azure infrastructure.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user needs to work with Azure resources in Dynatrace. Load the reference file for the task type:

## Core Concepts

### Entity Types

Azure resources use the `AZURE_*` prefix and can be queried using the `smartscapeNodes` function. All Azure entities are automatically discovered and modeled in Dynatrace Smartscape. Entity type names are derived from the ARM resource provider path: `/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines` becomes `AZURE_MICROSOFT_COMPUTE_VIRTUALMACHINES`. Sub-resources append with underscores: `/Microsoft.Sql/servers/databases` becomes `AZURE_MICROSOFT_SQL_SERVERS_DATABASES`.
```
