Definitions

Name Description
CloudError

Common error response for all Azure Resource Manager APIs to return error details for failed operations. (This also follows the OData error response format.).
CloudErrorBody

The error detail.
code

The operation status code.
enforce

If set to "False", it allows the descendants of this scope to override the pricing configuration set on this scope (allows setting inherited="False"). If set to "True", it prevents overrides and forces this pricing configuration on all the descendants of this scope. This field is only available for subscription-level pricing.
ErrorAdditionalInfo

The resource management error additional info.
Extension

A plan's extension properties
inherited

"inherited" = "True" indicates that the current scope inherits its pricing configuration from its parent. The ID of the parent scope that provides the inherited configuration is displayed in the "inheritedFrom" field. On the other hand, "inherited" = "False" indicates that the current scope has its own pricing configuration explicitly set, and does not inherit from its parent. This field is read only and available only for resource-level pricing.
isEnabled

Indicates whether the extension is enabled.
OperationStatus

A status describing the success/failure of the extension's enablement/disablement operation.
Pricing

Microsoft Defender for Cloud is provided in two pricing tiers: free and standard. The standard tier offers advanced security capabilities, while the free tier offers basic security features.
pricingTier

Indicates whether the Defender plan is enabled on the selected scope. Microsoft Defender for Cloud is provided in two pricing tiers: free and standard. The standard tier offers advanced security capabilities, while the free tier offers basic security features.
resourcesCoverageStatus

This field is available for subscription-level only, and reflects the coverage status of the resources under the subscription. Please note: The "pricingTier" field reflects the plan status of the subscription. However, since the plan status can also be defined at the resource level, there might be misalignment between the subscription's plan status and the resource status. This field helps indicate the coverage status of the resources.
