Cross tenant telemetry data push in Azure Monitor

Question

Hi, I have an use case where I want to push telemetry logs and metrics from one tenant to another tenant. So, let's say, tenant 1: It runs some service which is producing telemetry (open telemetry / otel) logs and metrics. tenant 2: Some client has an Azure Application Insight app running which is supposed to receive the above logs and metrics. For a single tenant (intra-tenant use case), the solution is easy - take the connection string of the client's applicaiton insignt app and use it to configure otel agent. But in an inter-tenant / cross tenant set up, how are we supposed to do it? How to set up trust / roles and permission between the tenants so that tenant 2 can trust tenant 1 and accept telemetry data from tenant 1?

Answer 1

Hi, By default when you use connection string from App insights it does not care from where you send the data from. You can send it from anywhere - another cloud, another tenant, on-premises, etc. The connection string itself contains the authentication mechanism.
