Monitoring and alerting for Azure Key Vault
Azure Keyvault provides a secure way to store very sensitive information in the cloud. Once you have started to use a key vault to store your production secrets, it is important to monitor the key vault to make sure your service operates as intended. Keyvaults are used to store sensitive information, which is critical forContinue reading “Monitoring and alerting for Azure Key Vault”
Azure Integration using Managed Identity
This blog describes managed identities and different types of managed identities. Managed Identities are in essence similar to Service Principals and they are actually Service Principals. The biggest difference between both is that Azure Managed identities manage the initial creation of the service principal and automatic renewal of the service principal without any additional workloadContinue reading “Azure Integration using Managed Identity”

Azure integration: Securing Logic app HTTP trigger endpoints
Why Secure Logic App with HTTP Trigger? The LogicApps with the HTTP Request Trigger is a publicly exposed endpoint, which can be accessed over the internet. These endpoints need to be secured, otherwise, anyone with the URL can post the information to the Logic APP and trigger the Logic App. By default, The endpoint isContinue reading “Azure integration: Securing Logic app HTTP trigger endpoints”
Azure Integration: Setting null value in Logic App Action to Dynamics 365
In one of my azure integration involving Dynamics 365, I had to send a null value when a field value is empty. The Dynamics 365 Actions for Update or Create a Record Action in the Logic App was always sending empty string (i.e. “”) instead of null value, which resulted in the integration failure. TheContinue reading “Azure Integration: Setting null value in Logic App Action to Dynamics 365”

Dynamics 365 FO: Priority based throttling for integrations
Priority-based throttling introduces service protection settings that prevent the over-utilization of resources to preserve the system’s responsiveness and ensure consistent availability and performance for environments running Finance and Operations apps. What is throttling and why? The problem with the OData and custom webservice is that when you make more calls than the endpoints can process,Continue reading “Dynamics 365 FO: Priority based throttling for integrations”
Dynamics 365 UO: Set financial dimension using oData integration
Use case: I had to set financial dimension values for Purchase Order Lines using oData while inserting data into D365 Unified Operations. To set the financial dimensions, we need to set the value for the field “DefaultLedgerDimensionDisplayValue“. When I tried to set the value, I got the following error. Write failed for table row ofContinue reading “Dynamics 365 UO: Set financial dimension using oData integration”
