+description: Learn how to customize the language experience in your user flows in Azure Active Directory B2C.

+* **Policy default language**: If the browser doesn't specify a language, or it specifies one that isn't supported, the user flow is translated to the user flow default language.

+1. Set up the explicit list of supported languages

+If you want to provide a set list of values for responses, you need to create a `LocalizedCollections` attribute. `LocalizedCollections` is an array of `Name` and `Value` pairs. The order for the items will be the order they're displayed. To add `LocalizedCollections`, use the following format:

+You can also add languages that Microsoft currently doesn't provide translations for. You'll need to provide the translations for all the strings in the user flow. Language and locale codes are limited to those in the ISO 639-1 standard. The locale code format should be "ISO_639-1_code"-"CountryCode", for example `en-GB`. For more information, please refer to [locale ID formats](/openspecs/office_standards/ms-oe376/6c085406-a698-4e12-9d4d-c3b0ee3dbc4a).

+Chrome and Firefox both request for their set language. If it's a supported language, it's displayed before the default. Microsoft Edge currently doesn't request a language and goes straight to the default language.

+#Customer intent: As a developer or IT administrator, I want to understand the different types of user accounts available Azure AD B2C, so that I can properly manage and configure user accounts for my tenant.

+In Azure Active Directory B2C (Azure AD B2C), there are several types of accounts that can be created. These account types are shared across Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Entra B2B, and Azure Active Directory B2C (Azure AD B2C).

+A work account is created the same way for all tenants based on Microsoft Entra ID. To create a work account, you can use the information in [Quickstart: Add new users to Microsoft Entra ID](/entra/fundamentals/how-to-create-delete-users). A work account is created using the **New user** choice in the Azure portal.

+- **Name** and **User name** - The **Name** property contains the given and surname of the user. The **User name** is the identifier that the user enters to sign in. The user name includes the full domain. The domain name portion of the user name must either be the initial default domain name *your-domain.onmicrosoft.com*, or a verified, non-federated [custom domain](/entra/fundamentals/add-custom-domain) name such as *contoso.com*.

+- **Directory role** - You need to specify the level of access that the user account has to resources in your tenant. For more information about the roles that can be selected, see [Microsoft Entra built-in roles](/entra/identity/role-based-access-control/permissions-reference).

+To display a specific list of recommendations, select a category tile.

+Each tile provides information about the recommendations for that category:

+* Your overall score for the category.

+* The total number of recommendations for the category, and the specific number per impact.

+* The number of impacted resources by the recommendations.

+For detailed graphics and information on your Advisor score, see [Optimize Azure workloads by using Advisor score](/azure/advisor/azure-advisor-score).

+### Get recommendation details and solution options

+1. To review details of a recommendation, including the affected resources, open the recommendation list for a category and then select the **Description** or the **Impacted resources** link for a specific recommendation. The following screenshot shows a **Reliability** recommendation details page.

+1. To see action details, select a **Recommended actions** link. The Azure page where you can act opens. Alternatively, open a page to the affected resources to take the recommended action (the two pages might be the same).

+1. You can postpone the recommendation.

+### Download recommendations

+To download your recommendations, select **Download as CSV** or **Download as PDF** on the action bar at the top of any recommendation list or details page. The download option respects any filters you applied to Advisor. If you select the download option while viewing a specific recommendation category or recommendation, the downloaded summary only includes information for that category or recommendation.

+> To change subscriptions or Advisor compute rules, you must be a subscription owner. If you do not have the required permissions, the option is disabled in the user interface. For information on permissions, see [Permissions in Azure Advisor](permissions.md). For details on right sizing VMs, see [Reduce service costs by using Azure Advisor](advisor-cost-recommendations.md).

+From any Azure Advisor page, select **Configuration** in the left navigation pane. The Advisor Configuration page opens with the **Resources** tab selected, by default.

+Use the **Resources** tab to select or unselect subscriptions for Advisor recommendations. When ready, select **Apply**. The page refreshes.

+Use the **VM/VMSS right sizing** tab to adjust Advisor virtual machine (VM) and virtual machine scale sets (VMSS) recommendations. Specifically, you can set up a filter for each subscription to only show recommendations for machines with certain CPU utilization. This setting filters recommendations by machine, but doesn't change how they're generated. Follow these steps.

+1. Select the subscriptions youΓÇÖd like to set up a filter for average CPU utilization, and then select **Edit**. Not all subscriptions can be edited for VM/VMSS right sizing and certain privileges are required; for more information on permissions, see [Permissions in Azure Advisor](permissions.md).

+1. Select the desired average CPU utilization value and select **Apply**. It can take up to 24 hours for the new settings to be reflected in recommendations.

+Authentication is done by adding the HTTP request header **Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key** and setting it to your vision key. The call is made to the URL `<endpoint>/computervision/imageanalysis:segment?api-version=2023-02-01-preview`, where `<endpoint>` is your unique Computer Vision endpoint URL. See [Select a mode ](./background-removal.md#select-a-mode) section for another query string you add to this URL.

+A populated URL for backgroundRemoval would look like this: `<endpoint>/computervision/imageanalysis:segment?api-version=2023-02-01-preview&mode=backgroundRemoval`

+`<endpoint>/vision/v3.2/analyze?visualFeatures=Tags`

+`<endpoint>/vision/v3.2/analyze?visualFeatures=Tags&language=en`

+> Some of the features in Image Analysis can be called directly as well as through the Analyze API call. For example, you can do a scoped analysis of only image tags by making a request to `<endpoint>/vision/v3.2/tag` (or to the corresponding method in the SDK). See the [reference documentation](https://westus.dev.cognitive.microsoft.com/docs/services/computer-vision-v3-2/operations/56f91f2e778daf14a499f21b) for other features that can be called separately.

+description: Get started using Azure AI Content Safety to analyze text content for objectionable material.

+On July 1, 2024 the following API preview releases will be retired and will stop accepting API requests:

+### Ingestion parameter

+When your data is ingested into to Azure AI Search, You can modify the following additional settings in either the studio or [ingestion API](/rest/api/azureopenai/ingestion-jobs/create#request-body).

+### Chunk size (preview)

+Azure OpenAI On Your Data processes your documents by splitting them into chunks before ingesting them. The chunk size is the maximum size in terms of the number of tokens of any chunk in the search index. Chunk size and the number of retrieved documents together control how much information (tokens) is included in the prompt sent to the model. In general, the chunk size multiplied by the number of retrieved documents is the total number of tokens sent to the model.

+#### Setting chunk size for your use case

+The default chunk size is 1,024 tokens. However, given the uniqueness of your data, you might find a different chunk size (such as 256, 512, or 1,536 tokens) more effective.

+Adjusting the chunk size can enhance your chatbot's performance. While finding the optimal chunk size requires some trial and error, start by considering the nature of your dataset. A smaller chunk size is generally better for datasets with direct facts and less context, while a larger chunk size might be beneficial for more contextual information, though it could affect retrieval performance.

+A small chunk size like 256 produces more granular chunks. This size also means the model will utilize fewer tokens to generate its output (unless the number of retrieved documents is very high), potentially costing less. Smaller chunks also mean the model does not have to process and interpret long sections of text, reducing noise and distraction. This granularity and focus however pose a potential problem. Important information might not be among the top retrieved chunks, especially if the number of retrieved documents is set to a low value like 3.

+> [!TIP]

+> Keep in mind that altering the chunk size requires your documents to be re-ingested, so it's useful to first adjust [runtime parameters](#runtime-parameters) like strictness and the number of retrieved documents. Consider changing the chunk size if you're still not getting the desired results:

+> * If you are encountering a high number of responses such as "I don't know" for questions with answers that should be in your documents, consider reducing the chunk size to 256 or 512 to improve granularity.

+> * If the chatbot is providing some correct details but missing others, which becomes apparent in the citations, increasing the chunk size to 1,536 might help capture more contextual information.

+#### Function Calling

+Some Azure OpenAI models allow you to define [tools and tool_choice parameters](../how-to/function-calling.md) to enable function calling. You can set up function calling through [REST API](../reference.md#chat-completions) `/chat/completions`. If both `tools` and [data sources](../references/on-your-data.md#request-body) are in the request, the following policy is applied.

+1. If `tool_choice` is `none`, the tools are ignored, and only the data sources are used to generate the answer.

+1. Otherwise, if `tool_choice` is not specified, or specified as `auto` or an object, the data sources are ignored, and the response will contain the selected functions name and the arguments, if any. Even if the model decides no function is selected, the data sources are still ignored.

+If the policy above doesn't meet your need, please consider other options, for example: [prompt flow](/azure/machine-learning/prompt-flow/overview-what-is-prompt-flow) or [Assistants API](../how-to/assistant.md).

+# Customer intent: as an engineer or hobbyist, I want to know how to use DALL-E image generation models to their full capability.

+# Learn how to work with the DALL-E models

+OpenAI's DALL-E models generate images based on user-provided text prompts. This guide demonstrates how to use the DALL-E models and configure their options through REST API calls.

+## Prerequisites

+#### [DALL-E 3](#tab/dalle3)

+- An Azure subscription. <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/free/ai-services" target="_blank">Create one for free</a>.

+- Access granted to DALL-E in the desired Azure subscription.

+- An Azure OpenAI resource created in the `SwedenCentral` region.

+- Then, you need to deploy a `dalle3` model with your Azure resource. For more information, see [Create a resource and deploy a model with Azure OpenAI](../how-to/create-resource.md).

+#### [DALL-E 2 (preview)](#tab/dalle2)

+- An Azure subscription. <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/free/ai-services" target="_blank">Create one for free</a>.

+- Access granted to DALL-E in the desired Azure subscription.

+- An Azure OpenAI resource created in the East US region. For more information, see [Create a resource and deploy a model with Azure OpenAI](../how-to/create-resource.md).

+## Call the Image Generation APIs

+The following command shows the most basic way to use DALL-E with code. If this is your first time using these models programmatically, we recommend starting with the [DALL-E quickstart](/azure/ai-services/openai/dall-e-quickstart).

+#### [DALL-E 3](#tab/dalle3)

+Send a POST request to:

+```

+https://<your_resource_name>.deployments/<your_deployment_name>/images/generations?api-version=<api_version>

+```

+where:

+- `<your_resource_name>` is the name of your Azure OpenAI resource.

+- `<your_deployment_name>` is the name of your DALL-E 3 model deployment.

+- `<api_version>` is the version of the API you want to use. For example, `2024-02-01`.

+**Required headers**:

+- `Content-Type`: `application/json`

+- `api-key`: `<your_API_key>`

+**Body**:

+The following is a sample request body. You specify a number of options, defined in later sections.

+```json

+{

+ "prompt": "A multi-colored umbrella on the beach, disposable camera",

+ "size": "1024x1024",

+ "n": 1,

+ "quality": "hd",

+ "style": "vivid"

+}

+```

+#### [DALL-E 2 (preview)](#tab/dalle2)

+Image generation with DALL-E 2 is asynchronous and requires two API calls.

+First, send a POST request to:

+```

+https://<your_resource_name>.openai.azure.com/openai/images/generations:submit?api-version=<api_version>

+```

+where:

+- `<your_resource_name>` is the name of your Azure OpenAI resource.

+- `<api_version>` is the version of the API you want to use. For example, `2023-06-01-preview`.

+**Required headers**:

+- `Content-Type`: `application/json`

+- `api-key`: `<your_API_key>`

+**Body**:

+The following is a sample request body. You specify a number of options, defined in later sections.

+```json

+{

+ "prompt": "a multi-colored umbrella on the beach, disposable camera",

+ "size": "1024x1024",

+ "n": 1

+}

+```

+The operation returns a `202` status code and a JSON object containing the ID and status of the operation

+```json

+{

+ "id": "f508bcf2-e651-4b4b-85a7-58ad77981ffa",

+ "status": "notRunning"

+}

+```

+To retrieve the image generation results, make a GET request to:

+```

+GET https://<your_resource_name>.openai.azure.com/openai/operations/images/<operation_id>?api-version=<api_version>

+```

+where:

+- `<your_resource_name>` is the name of your Azure OpenAI resource.

+- `<operation_id>` is the ID of the operation returned in the previous step.

+- `<api_version>` is the version of the API you want to use. For example, `2023-06-01-preview`.

+**Required headers**:

+- `Content-Type`: `application/json`

+- `api-key`: `<your_API_key>`

+The response from this API call contains your generated image.

+## Output

+The output from a successful image generation API call looks like the following example. The `url` field contains a URL where you can download the generated image. The URL stays active for 24 hours.

+#### [DALL-E 3](#tab/dalle3)

+```json

+{

+ "created": 1698116662,

+ "data": [

+ {

+ "url": "<URL_to_generated_image>",

+ "revised_prompt": "<prompt_that_was_used>"

+ }

+ ]

+}

+```

+#### [DALL-E 2 (preview)](#tab/dalle2)

+```json

+{

+ "created": 1685130482,

+ "expires": 1685216887,

+ "id": "<operation_id>",

+ "result":

+ {

+ "data":

+ [

+ {

+ "url": "<URL_to_generated_image>"

+ }

+ ]

+ },

+ "status": "succeeded"

+}

+```

+### API call rejection

+Prompts and images are filtered based on our content policy, returning an error when a prompt or image is flagged.

+If your prompt is flagged, the `error.code` value in the message is set to `contentFilter`. Here's an example:

+#### [DALL-E 3](#tab/dalle3)

+```json

+{

+ "created": 1698435368,

+ "error":

+ {

+ "code": "contentFilter",

+ "message": "Your task failed as a result of our safety system."

+ }

+}

+```

+#### [DALL-E 2 (preview)](#tab/dalle2)

+```json

+{

+ "created": 1589478378,

+ "error": {

+ "code": "contentFilter",

+ "message": "Your task failed as a result of our safety system."

+ },

+ "id": "9484f239-9a05-41ba-997b-78252fec4b34",

+ "status": "failed"

+}

+```

+It's also possible that the generated image itself is filtered. In this case, the error message is set to `Generated image was filtered as a result of our safety system.`. Here's an example:

+#### [DALL-E 3](#tab/dalle3)

+```json

+{

+ "created": 1698435368,

+ "error":

+ {

+ "code": "contentFilter",

+ "message": "Generated image was filtered as a result of our safety system."

+ }

+}

+```

+#### [DALL-E 2 (preview)](#tab/dalle2)

+```json

+{

+ "created": 1589478378,

+ "expires": 1589478399,

+ "id": "9484f239-9a05-41ba-997b-78252fec4b34",

+ "lastActionDateTime": 1589478378,

+ "data": [

+ {

+ "url": "<URL_TO_IMAGE>"

+ },

+ {

+ "error": {

+ "code": "contentFilter",

+ "message": "Generated image was filtered as a result of our safety system."

+ }

+ }

+ ],

+ "status": "succeeded"

+}

+```

+## Writing image prompts

+Your image prompts should describe the content you want to see in the image, as well as the visual style of image.

+> [!TIP]

+> For a thorough look at how you can tweak your text prompts to generate different kinds of images, see the [Dallery DALL-E 2 prompt book](https://dallery.gallery/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/The-DALL%C2%B7E-2-prompt-book-v1.02.pdf).

+#### [DALL-E 3](#tab/dalle3)

+When writing prompts, consider that the image generation APIs come with a content moderation filter. If the service recognizes your prompt as harmful content, it doesn't generate an image. For more information, see [Content filtering](../concepts/content-filter.md).

+### Prompt transformation

+DALL-E 3 includes built-in prompt rewriting to enhance images, reduce bias, and increase natural variation of images.

+| **Example text prompt** | **Example generated image without prompt transformation** | **Example generated image with prompt transformation** |

+||||

+|"Watercolor painting of the Seattle skyline" |  |  |

+The updated prompt is visible in the `revised_prompt` field of the data response object.

+While it is not currently possible to disable this feature, you can use special prompting to get outputs closer to your original prompt by adding the following to it: `I NEED to test how the tool works with extremely simple prompts. DO NOT add any detail, just use it AS-IS:`.

+#### [DALL-E 2 (preview)](#tab/dalle2)

+When writing prompts, consider that the image generation APIs come with a content moderation filter. If the service recognizes your prompt as harmful content, it doesn't generate an image. For more information, see [Content filtering](../concepts/content-filter.md).

+## Specify API options

+The following API body parameters are available for DALL-E image generation.

+#### [DALL-E 3](#tab/dalle3)

+### Size

+Specify the size of the generated images. Must be one of `1024x1024`, `1792x1024`, or `1024x1792` for DALL-E 3 models. Square images are faster to generate.

+### Style

+DALL-E 3 introduces two style options: `natural` and `vivid`. The `natural` style is more similar to the DALL-E 2 default style, while the `vivid` style generates more hyper-real and cinematic images.

+The `natural` style is useful in cases where DALL-E 3 over-exaggerates or confuses a subject that's meant to be more simple, subdued, or realistic.

+The default value is `vivid`.

+### Quality

+There are two options for image quality: `hd` and `standard`. `hd` creates images with finer details and greater consistency across the image. `standard` images can be generated faster.

+The default value is `standard`.

+### Number

+With DALL-E 3, you cannot generate more than one image in a single API call: the _n_ parameter must be set to `1`. If you need to generate multiple images at once, make parallel requests.

+### Response format

+The format in which the generated images are returned. Must be one of `url` (a URL pointing to the image) or `b64_json` (the base 64-byte code in JSON format). The default is `url`.

+#### [DALL-E 2 (preview)](#tab/dalle2)

+### Size

+Specify the size of the generated images. Must be one of `256x256`, `512x512`, or `1024x1024` for DALL-E 2 models.

+### Number

+Set the _n_ parameter to an integer between 1 and 10 to generate multiple images at the same time using DALL-E 2. The images will share an operation ID; you receive them all with the same retrieval API call.

+ Title: How to use Risks & Safety monitoring in Azure OpenAI Studio

+description: Learn how to check statistics and insights from your Azure OpenAI content filtering activity.

+# Use Risks & Safety monitoring in Azure OpenAI Studio (preview)

+When you use an Azure OpenAI model deployment with a content filter, you may want to check the results of the filtering activity. You can use that information to further adjust your filter configuration to serve your specific business needs and Responsible AI principles.

+[Azure OpenAI Studio](https://oai.azure.com/) provides a Risks & Safety monitoring dashboard for each of your deployments that uses a content filter configuration.

+## Access Risks & Safety monitoring

+To access Risks & Safety monitoring, you need an Azure OpenAI resource in one of the supported Azure regions: East US, Switzerland North, France Central, Sweden Central, Canada East. You also need a model deployment that uses a content filter configuration.

+Go to [Azure OpenAI Studio](https://oai.azure.com/) and sign in with the credentials associated with your Azure OpenAI resource. Select the **Deployments** tab on the left and then select your model deployment from the list. On the deployment's page, select the **Risks & Safety** tab at the top.

+## Content detection

+The **Content detection** pane shows information about content filter activity. Your content filter configuration is applied as described in the [Content filtering documentation](/azure/ai-services/openai/how-to/content-filters).

+### Report description

+Content filtering data is shown in the following ways:

+- **Total blocked request count and block rate**: This view shows a global view of the amount and rate of content that is filtered over time. This helps you understand trends of harmful requests from users and see any unexpected activity.

+- **Blocked requests by category**: This view shows the amount of content blocked for each category. This is an all-up statistic of harmful requests across the time range selected. It currently supports the harm categories hate, sexual, self-harm, and violence.

+- **Block rate over time by category**: This view shows the block rate for each category over time. It currently supports the harm categories hate, sexual, self-harm, and violence.

+- **Severity distribution by category**: This view shows the severity levels detected for each harm category, across the whole selected time range. This is not limited to _blocked_ content but rather includes all content that was flagged by the content filters.

+- **Severity rate distribution over time by category**: This view shows the rates of detected severity levels over time, for each harm category. Select the tabs to switch between supported categories.

+### Recommended actions

+Adjust your content filter configuration to further align with business needs and Responsible AI principles.

+## Potentially abusive user detection

+The **Potentially abusive user detection** pane leverages user-level abuse reporting to show information about users whose behavior has resulted in blocked content. The goal is to help you get a view of the sources of harmful content so you can take responsive actions to ensure the model is being used in a responsible way.

+<!--

+To use Potentially abusive user detection, you need:

+- A content filter configuration applied to your deployment.

+- You must be sending user ID information in your Chat Completion requests (see the _user_ parameter of the [Completions API](/azure/ai-services/openai/reference#completions), for example).

+ > [!CAUTION]

+ > Use GUID strings to identify individual users. Do not include sensitive personal information in the "user" field.

+- An Azure Data Explorer database set up to store the user analysis results (instructions below).

+### Set up your Azure Data Explorer database

+In order to protect the data privacy of user information and manage the permission of the data, we support the option for our customers to bring their own storage to store potentially abusive user detection insights in a compliant way and with full control. Follow these steps to enable it:

+1. In Azure OpenAI Studio, navigate to the model deployment that you'd like to set up user abuse analysis with, and select **Add a data store**.

+1. Fill in the required information and select **add**. We recommend you create a new database to store the analysis results.

+1. After you connect the data store, take the following steps to grant permission:

+ 1. Go to your Azure OpenAI resource's page in the Azure portal, and choose the **Identity** tab.

+ 1. Turn the status to **On** for system assigned identity, and copy the ID that's generated.

+ 1. Go to your Azure Data Explorer resource in the Azure portal, choose **databases**, and then choose the specific database you created to store user analysis results.

+ 1. Select **permissions**, and add an **admin** role to the database.

+ 1. Paste the Azure OpenAI identity generated in the earlier step, and select the one searched. Now your Azure OpenAI resource's identity is authorized to read/write to the storage account.

+-->

+### Report description

+The potentially abusive user detection relies on the user information that customers send with their Azure OpenAI API calls, together with the request content. The following insights are shown:

+- **Total potentially abusive user count**: This view shows the number of detected potentially abusive users over time. These are users for whom a pattern of abuse was detected and who might introduce high risk.

+<!-

+ - **UserGUID**: This is sent by the customer through "user" field in Azure OpenAI APIs.

+ - **Abuse score**: This is a figure generated by the model analyzing each user's requests and behavior. The score is normalized to 0-1. A higher score indicates a higher abuse risk.

+ - **Abuse score trend**: The change in **Abuse score** during the selected time range.

+ - **Evaluate date**: The date the results were analyzed.

+ - **Total abuse request ratio/count**

+ - **Abuse ratio/count by category**

+### Recommended actions

+Combine this data with enriched signals to validate whether the detected users are truly abusive or not. If they are, then take responsive action such as throttling or suspending the user to ensure the responsible use of your application.

+# Evaluation of generative AI applications

+Advancements in language models such as OpenAI GPT-4 and Llama 2 offer great promise while coming with challenges related to responsible AI. If not designed carefully, systems built upon these models can perpetuate existing societal biases, promote misinformation, create manipulative content, or lead to a wide range of other negative impacts. Addressing these risks while maximizing benefits to users is possible with an iterative approach through four stages: [identify, measure, and mitigate, operate](https://aka.ms/LLM-RAI-devstages).

+The measurement stage provides crucial information for steering development toward quality and safety. On the one hand, this includes evaluation of performance and quality. On the other hand, when evaluating risk and safety, this includes evaluation of an AI systemΓÇÖs predisposition toward different risks (each of which can have different severities). In both cases, this is achieved by establishing clear metrics, creating test sets, and completing iterative, systematic testing. This measurement stage provides practitioners with signals that inform targeted mitigation steps such as prompt engineering and the application of content filters. Once mitigations are applied, one can repeat evaluations to test effectiveness.

+Azure AI Studio provides practitioners with tools for manual and automated evaluation that can help you with the measurement stage. We recommend that you start with manual evaluation then proceed to automated evaluation. Manual evaluation, that is, manually reviewing the applicationΓÇÖs generated outputs, is useful for tracking progress on a small set of priority issues. When mitigating specific risks, it's often most productive to keep manually checking progress against a small dataset until evidence of the risks is no longer observed before moving to automated evaluation. Azure AI Studio supports a manual evaluation experience for spot-checking small datasets.

+Automated evaluation is useful for measuring quality and safety at scale with increased coverage to provide more comprehensive results. Automated evaluation tools also enable ongoing evaluations that periodically run to monitor for regression as the system, usage, and mitigations evolve. We support two main methods for automated evaluation of generative AI applications: traditional machine learning evaluations and AI-assisted evaluation.

+In the context of generative AI, traditional machine learning evaluations (producing traditional machine learning metrics) are useful when we want to quantify the accuracy of generated outputs compared to expected answers. Traditional metrics are beneficial when one has access to ground truth and expected answers.

+- Ground truth refers to data that we believe to be true and therefore use as a baseline for comparisons.

+- Expected answers are the outcomes that we believe should occur based on our ground truth data.

+For instance, in tasks such as classification or short-form question-answering, where there's typically one correct or expected answer, F1 scores or similar traditional metrics can be used to measure the precision and recall of generated outputs against the expected answers.

+[Traditional metrics](./evaluation-metrics-built-in.md) are also helpful when we want to understand how much the generated outputs are regressing, that is, deviating from the expected answers. They provide a quantitative measure of error or deviation, allowing us to track the performance of the system over time or compare the performance of different systems. These metrics, however, might be less suitable for tasks that involve creativity, ambiguity, or multiple correct solutions, as these metrics typically treat any deviation from an expected answer as an error.

+## AI-assisted evaluations

+Large language models (LLM) such as GPT-4 can be used to evaluate the output of generative AI language systems. This is achieved by instructing an LLM to annotate certain aspects of the AI-generated output. For instance, you can provide GPT-4 with a relevance severity scale (for example, provide criteria for relevance annotation on a 1-5 scale) and then ask GPT-4 to annotate the relevance of an AI systemΓÇÖs response to a given question.

+AI-assisted evaluations can be beneficial in scenarios where ground truth and expected answers aren't available. In many generative AI scenarios, such as open-ended question answering or creative writing, single correct answers don't exist, making it challenging to establish the ground truth or expected answers that are necessary for traditional metrics.

+In these cases,[AI-assisted evaluations](./evaluation-metrics-built-in.md) can help to measure important concepts like the quality and safety of generated outputs. Here, quality refers to performance and quality attributes such as relevance, coherence, fluency, and groundedness. Safety refers to risk and safety attributes such as presence of harmful content (content risks).

+For each of these attributes, careful conceptualization and experimentation is required to create the LLMΓÇÖs instructions and severity scale. Sometimes, these attributes refer to complex sociotechnical concepts that different people might view differently. So, itΓÇÖs critical that the LLMΓÇÖs annotation instructions are created to represent an agreed-upon, concrete definition of the attribute. Then, itΓÇÖs similarly critical to ensure that the LLM applies the instructions in a way that is consistent with human expert annotators.

+By instructing an LLM to annotate these attributes, you can build a metric for how well a generative AI application is performing even when there isn't a single correct answer. AI-assisted evaluations provide a flexible and nuanced way of evaluating generative AI applications, particularly in tasks that involve creativity, ambiguity, or multiple correct solutions. However, the reliability and validity of these evaluations depends on the quality of the LLM and the instructions given to it.

+### AI-assisted performance and quality metrics

+To run AI-assisted performance and quality evaluations, an LLM is possibly leveraged for two separate functions. First, a test dataset must be created. This can be created manually by choosing prompts and capturing responses from your AI system, or it can be created synthetically by simulating interactions between your AI system and an LLM (referred to as the AI-assisted dataset generator in the following diagram). Then, an LLM is also used to annotate your AI systemΓÇÖs outputs in the test set. Finally, annotations are aggregated into performance and quality metrics and logged to your Azure AI studio project for viewing and analysis.

+> We currently support GPT-4 and GPT-3 as models for AI-assisted evaluations. To use these models for evaluations, you are required to establish valid connections. Please note that we strongly recommend the use of GPT-4, as it offers significant improvements in contextual understanding and adherence to instructions.

+### AI-assisted risk and safety metrics

+One application of AI-assisted quality and performance evaluations is the creation of AI-assisted risk and safety metrics. To create AI-assisted risk and safety metrics, Azure AI Studio safety evaluations provisions an Azure OpenAI GPT-4 model that is hosted in a back-end service, then orchestrates each of the two LLM-dependent steps:

+- Simulating adversarial interactions with your generative AI system:

+ Generate a high-quality test dataset of inputs and responses by simulating single-turn or multi-turn exchanges guided by prompts that are targeted to generate harmful responses.ΓÇ»

+- Annotating your test dataset for content or security risks:

+ Annotate each interaction from the test dataset with a severity and reasoning derived from a severity scale that is defined for each type of content and security risk.

+Because the provisioned GPT-4 models act as an adversarial dataset generator or annotator, their safety filters are turned off and the models are hosted in a back-end service. The prompts used for these LLMs and the targeted adversarial prompt datasets are also hosted in the service. Due to the sensitive nature of the content being generated and passed through the LLM, the models and data assets aren't directly accessible to Azure AI Studio customers.

+The adversarial targeted prompt datasets were developed by Microsoft researchers, applied scientists, linguists, and security experts to help users get started with evaluating content and security risks in generative AI systems.

+If you already have a test dataset with input prompts and AI system responses (for example, records from red-teaming), you can directly pass that dataset in to be annotated by the content risk evaluator. Safety evaluations can help augment and accelerate manual red teaming efforts by enabling red teams to generate and automate adversarial prompts at scale. However, AI-assisted evaluations are neither designed to replace human review nor to provide comprehensive coverage of all possible risks.

+#### Evaluating jailbreak vulnerability

+Unlike content risks, jailbreak vulnerability can't be reliably measured with direct annotation by an LLM. However, jailbreak vulnerability can be measured via comparison of two parallel test datasets: a baseline adversarial test dataset versus the same adversarial test dataset with jailbreak injections in the first turn. Each dataset can be annotated by the AI-assisted content risk evaluator, producing a content risk defect rate for each. Then the user evaluates jailbreak vulnerability by comparing the defect rates and noting cases where the jailbreak dataset led to more or higher severity defects. For example, if an instance in these parallel test datasets is annotated as more severe for the version with a jailbreak injection, that instance would be considered a jailbreak defect.

+To learn more about the supported task types and built-in metrics, see [evaluation and monitoring metrics for generative AI](./evaluation-metrics-built-in.md).

+## Evaluating and monitoring of generative AI applications

+Azure AI Studio supports several distinct paths for generative AI app developers to evaluate their applications:

+- Playground: In the first path, you can start by engaging in a "playground" experience. Here, you have the option to select the data you want to use for grounding your model, choose the base model for the application, and provide metaprompt instructions to guide the model's behavior. You can then manually evaluate the application by passing in a dataset and observing the applicationΓÇÖs responses. Once the manual inspection is complete, you can opt to use the evaluation wizard to conduct more comprehensive assessments, either through traditional metrics or AI-assisted evaluations.

+- Flows: The Azure AI Studio **Prompt flow** page offers a dedicated development tool tailored for streamlining the entire lifecycle of AI applications powered by LLMs. With this path, you can create executable flows that link LLMs, prompts, and Python tools through a visualized graph. This feature simplifies debugging, sharing, and collaborative iterations of flows. Furthermore, you can create prompt variants and assess their performance through large-scale testing.

+In addition to the 'Flows' development tool, you also have the option to develop your generative AI applications using a code-first SDK experience. Regardless of your chosen development path, you can evaluate your created flows through the evaluation wizard, accessible from the 'Flows' tab, or via the SDK/CLI experience. From the ΓÇÿFlowsΓÇÖ tab, you even have the flexibility to use a customized evaluation wizard and incorporate your own metrics.

+- Direct Dataset Evaluation: If you have collected a dataset containing interactions between your application and end-users, you can submit this data directly to the evaluation wizard within the "Evaluation" tab. This process enables the generation of automatic AI-assisted evaluations, and the results can be visualized in the same tab. This approach centers on a data-centric evaluation method. Alternatively, you have the option to evaluate your conversation dataset using the SDK/CLI experience and generate and visualize evaluations through the Azure AI Studio.

+After assessing your applications, flows, or data from any of these channels, you can proceed to deploy your generative AI application and monitor its quality and safety in a production environment as it engages in new interactions with your users.

+# Evaluation and monitoring metrics for generative AI

+Azure AI Studio allows you to evaluate single-turn or complex, multi-turn conversations where you ground the generative AI model in your specific data (also known as Retrieval Augmented Generation or RAG). You can also evaluate general single-turn question answering scenarios, where no context is used to ground your generative AI model (non-RAG). Currently, we support built-in metrics for the following task types:

+## Question answering (single turn)

+In this setup, users pose individual questions or prompts, and a generative AI model is employed to instantly generate responses.

+The test set format will follow this data format:

+```jsonl

+{"question":"Which tent is the most waterproof?","context":"From our product list, the Alpine Explorer tent is the most waterproof. The Adventure Dining Table has higher weight.","answer":"The Alpine Explorer Tent is the most waterproof.","ground_truth":"The Alpine Explorer Tent has the highest rainfly waterproof rating at 3000m"}

+```

+> [!NOTE]

+> The "context" and "ground truth" fields are optional, and the supported metrics depend on the fields you provide

+## Conversation (single turn and multi turn)

+In this context, users engage in conversational interactions, either through a series of turns or in a single exchange. The generative AI model, equipped with retrieval mechanisms, generates responses and can access and incorporate information from external sources, such as documents. The Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) model enhances the quality and relevance of responses by using external documents and knowledge.

+The test set format will follow this data format:

+```jsonl

+{"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"How can I check the status of my online order?"},{"content":"Hi Sarah Lee! To check the status of your online order for previous purchases such as the TrailMaster X4 Tent or the CozyNights Sleeping Bag, please refer to your email for order confirmation and tracking information. If you need further assistance, feel free to contact our customer support at support@contosotrek.com or give us a call at 1-800-555-1234.

+","role":"assistant","context":{"citations":[{"id":"cHJvZHVjdF9pbmZvXzYubWQz","title":"Information about product item_number: 6","content":"# Information about product item_number: 6\n\nIt's essential to check local regulations before using the EcoFire Camping Stove, as some areas may have restrictions on open fires or require a specific type of stove.\n\n30) How do I clean and maintain the EcoFire Camping Stove?\n To clean the EcoFire Camping Stove, allow it to cool completely, then wipe away any ash or debris with a brush or cloth. Store the stove in a dry place when not in use."}]}}]}

+```

+As described in the [methods for evaluating large language models](./evaluation-approach-gen-ai.md), there are manual and automated approaches to measurement. Automated measurement is useful for measuring at scale with increased coverage to provide more comprehensive results. It's also helpful for ongoing measurement to monitor for any regression as the system, usage, and mitigations evolve.

+We support two main methods for automated measurement of generative AI applications:

+- Traditional machine learning metrics

+- AI-assisted metrics

+AI-assisted metrics utilize language models like GPT-4 to assess AI-generated output, especially in situations where expected answers are unavailable due to the absence of a defined ground truth. Traditional machine learning metrics, like F1 score, gauge the precision and recall between AI-generated responses and the anticipated answers.

+Our AI-assisted metrics assess the safety and generation quality of generative AI applications. These metrics fall into two distinct categories:

+- Risk and safety metrics:

+ These metrics focus on identifying potential content and security risks and ensuring the safety of the generated content.

+ They include:

+ - Hateful and unfair content defect rate

+ - Sexual content defect rate

+ - Violent content defect rate

+ - Self-harm-related content defect rate

+ - Jailbreak defect rate

+- Generation quality metrics:

+ These metrics evaluate the overall quality and coherence of the generated content.

+ They include:

+ - Coherence

+ - Fluency

+ - Groundedness

+ - Relevance

+ - Retrieval score

+ - Similarity

+We support the following AI-Assisted metrics for the above task types:

+| Task type | Question and Generated Answers Only (No context or ground truth needed) | Question and Generated Answers + Context | Question and Generated Answers + Context + Ground Truth |

+| | | | |

+| [Question Answering](#question-answering-single-turn) | - Risk and safety metrics (all AI-Assisted): hateful and unfair content defect rate, sexual content defect rate, violent content defect rate, self-harm-related content defect rate, and jailbreak defect rate <br> - Generation quality metrics (all AI-Assisted): Coherence, Fluency |Previous Column Metrics <br> + <br> Generation quality metrics (all AI-Assisted): <br> - Groundedness <br> - Relevance |Previous Column Metrics <br> + <br> Generation quality metrics: <br> Similarity (AI-assisted) <br> F1-Score (traditional ML metric) |

+| [Conversation](#conversation-single-turn-and-multi-turn) | - Risk and safety metrics (all AI-Assisted): hateful and unfair content defect rate, sexual content defect rate, violent content defect rate, self-harm-related content defect rate, and jailbreak defect rate <br> - Generation quality metrics (all AI-Assisted): Coherence, Fluency | Previous Column Metrics <br> + <br> Generation quality metrics (all AI-Assisted): <br> - Groundedness <br> - Retrieval Score | N/A |

+> [!NOTE]

+> While we are providing you with a comprehensive set of built-in metrics that facilitate the easy and efficient evaluation of the quality and safety of your generative AI application, it is best practice to adapt and customize them to your specific task types. Furthermore, we empower you to introduce entirely new metrics, enabling you to measure your applications from fresh angles and ensuring alignment with your unique objectives.

+## Risk and safety metrics

+The risk and safety metrics draw on insights gained from our previous Large Language Model projects such as GitHub Copilot and Bing. This ensures a comprehensive approach to evaluating generated responses for risk and safety severity scores. These metrics are generated through our safety evaluation service, which employs a set of LLMs. Each model is tasked with assessing specific risks that could be present in the response (for example, sexual content, violent content, etc.). These models are provided with risk definitions and severity scales, and they annotate generated conversations accordingly. Currently, we calculate a ΓÇ£defect rateΓÇ¥ for the risk and safety metrics below. For each of these metrics, the service measures whether these types of content were detected and at what severity level. Each of the four types has three severity levels (Very low, Low, Medium, High). Users specify a threshold of tolerance, and the defect rates are produced by our service correspond to the number of instances that were generated at and above each threshold level.

+ Types of content:

+- Hateful and unfair content

+- Sexual content

+- Violent content

+- Self-harm-related content

+Besides the above types of contents, we also support ΓÇ£Jailbreak defect rateΓÇ¥ in a comparative view across evaluations, a metric that measures the prevalence of jailbreaks in model responses. Jailbreaks are when a model response bypasses the restrictions placed on it. Jailbreak also happens where an LLM deviates from the intended task or topic.

+Users can measure these risk and safety metrics on their own data or use the Azure AI SDK to [simulate different attack interactions with their generative AI application to output a test ](../how-to/simulator-interaction-data.md) (we refer to it as content risk dataset). Then you can evaluate on this simulated test dataset to output an annotated test dataset with content risk severity levels (very low, low, medium, or high) and [view your results in Azure AI ](../how-to/evaluate-flow-results.md), which provides you with overall defect rate across whole test dataset and instance view of each content risk label and reasoning.

+Unlike other metrics in the table, jailbreak vulnerability can't be reliably measured with annotation by an LLM. However, jailbreak vulnerability can be measured by the comparison of two different automated datasets (1) content risk dataset vs. (2) content risk dataset with jailbreak injections in the first turn.

+### Hateful and unfair content definition and severity scale

+# [Warning](#tab/warning)

+> [!WARNING]

+> The content risk definitions and severity scales contain descriptions that may be disturbing to some users.

+# [Definition](#tab/definition)

+Hateful and unfair content refers to any language pertaining to hate toward or unfair representations of individuals and social groups along factors including but not limited to race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, religion, immigration status, ability, personal appearance, and body size. Unfairness occurs when AI systems treat or represent social groups inequitably, creating or contributing to societal inequities.

+# [Severity scale ](#tab/severity)

+Safety evaluations annotate hateful and unfair content using a 0-7 scale.

+|Severity Level | Definition |

+| | |

+## Generation quality metrics

+Generation quality metrics are used to assess the overall quality of the content produced by generative AI applications. Here's a breakdown of what these metrics entail:

+### AI-assisted: Groundedness

+For groundedness, we provide two versions:

+- Groundedness Detection leveraging Azure AI Content Safety Service (AACS) via integration into the Azure AI Studio safety evaluations. No deployment is required from the user as a back-end service will provide the models for you to output a score and reasoning. Currently supported in the following regions: East US 2 and Sweden Central.

+- Prompt-only-based Groundedness using your own models to output only a score. Currently supported in all regions.

+#### AACS based groundedness

+| Score characteristics | Score details |

+| -- | |

+| Score range | 1-5 where 1 is ungrounded and 5 is grounded |

+| What is this metric? | Measures how well the model's generated answers align with information from the source data (for example, retrieved documents in RAG Question and Answering or documents for summarization) and outputs reasonings for which specific generated sentences are ungrounded. |

+| How does it work? | Groundedness Detection leverages an Azure AI Content Safety Service custom language model fine-tuned to a natural language processing task called Natural Language Inference (NLI), which evaluates claims as being entailed or not entailed by a source document.ΓÇ»|

+| When to use it? | Use the groundedness metric when you need to verify that AI-generated responses align with and are validated by the provided context. It's essential for applications where factual correctness and contextual accuracy are key, like information retrieval, question-answering, and content summarization. This metric ensures that the AI-generated answers are well-supported by the context. |

+| What does it need as input? | Question, Context, Generated Answer |

+#### Prompt-only-based groundedness

+| Score characteristics | Score details |

+| -- | |

+| Score range | 1-5 where 1 is ungrounded and 5 is grounded |

+| How does it work? | The groundedness measure assesses the correspondence between claims in an AI-generated answer and the source context, making sure that these claims are substantiated by the context. Even if the responses from LLM are factually correct, they'll be considered ungrounded if they can't be verified against the provided sources (such as your input source or your database). |

+| When to use it? | Use the groundedness metric when you need to verify that AI-generated responses align with and are validated by the provided context. It's essential for applications where factual correctness and contextual accuracy are key, like information retrieval, question-answering, and content summarization. This metric ensures that the AI-generated answers are well-supported by the context. |

+| What does it need as input? | Question, Context, Generated Answer |

+Built-in prompt used by Large Language Model judge to score this metric:

+You will be presented with a CONTEXT and an ANSWER about that CONTEXT. You need to decide whether the ANSWER is entailed by the CONTEXT by choosing one of the following rating:

+1. 5: The ANSWER follows logically from the information contained in the CONTEXT.

+2. 1: The ANSWER is logically false from the information contained in the CONTEXT.

+3. an integer score between 1 and 5 and if such integer score does not exist,

+use 1: It is not possible to determine whether the ANSWER is true or false without further information.

+Read the passage of information thoroughly and select the correct answer from the three answer labels.

+Read the CONTEXT thoroughly to ensure you know what the CONTEXT entails.

+Note the ANSWER is generated by a computer system, it can contain certain symbols, which should not be a negative factor in the evaluation.

+```

+### AI-assisted: Relevance

+| Score characteristics | Score details |

+| -- | |

+| Score range | Integer [1-5]: where 1 is bad and 5 is good |

+| What is this metric? | Measures the extent to which the model's generated responses are pertinent and directly related to the given questions. |

+| How does it work? | The relevance measure assesses the ability of answers to capture the key points of the context. High relevance scores signify the AI system's understanding of the input and its capability to produce coherent and contextually appropriate outputs. Conversely, low relevance scores indicate that generated responses might be off-topic, lacking in context, or insufficient in addressing the user's intended queries. |

+| When to use it? | Use the relevance metric when evaluating the AI system's performance in understanding the input and generating contextually appropriate responses. |

+| What does it need as input? | Question, Context, Generated Answer |

+Built-in prompt used by Large Language Model judge to score this metric (For question answering data format):

+```

+Relevance measures how well the answer addresses the main aspects of the question, based on the context. Consider whether all and only the important aspects are contained in the answer when evaluating relevance. Given the context and question, score the relevance of the answer between one to five stars using the following rating scale:

+One star: the answer completely lacks relevance

+Two stars: the answer mostly lacks relevance

+Three stars: the answer is partially relevant

+Four stars: the answer is mostly relevant

+Five stars: the answer has perfect relevance

+This rating value should always be an integer between 1 and 5. So the rating produced should be 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5.

+Built-in prompt used by Large Language Model judge to score this metric (For conversation data format) (without Ground Truth available):

+```

+You will be provided a question, a conversation history, fetched documents related to the question and a response to the question in the {DOMAIN} domain. Your task is to evaluate the quality of the provided response by following the steps below:

+

+- Understand the context of the question based on the conversation history.

+

+- Generate a reference answer that is only based on the conversation history, question, and fetched documents. Don't generate the reference answer based on your own knowledge.

+

+- You need to rate the provided response according to the reference answer if it's available on a scale of 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent), based on the below criteria:

+

+5 - Ideal: The provided response includes all information necessary to answer the question based on the reference answer and conversation history. Please be strict about giving a 5 score.

+

+4 - Mostly Relevant: The provided response is mostly relevant, although it might be a little too narrow or too broad based on the reference answer and conversation history.

+

+3 - Somewhat Relevant: The provided response might be partly helpful but might be hard to read or contain other irrelevant content based on the reference answer and conversation history.

+

+2 - Barely Relevant: The provided response is barely relevant, perhaps shown as a last resort based on the reference answer and conversation history.

+

+1 - Completely Irrelevant: The provided response should never be used for answering this question based on the reference answer and conversation history.

+

+- You need to rate the provided response to be 5, if the reference answer can not be generated since no relevant documents were retrieved.

+

+- You need to first provide a scoring reason for the evaluation according to the above criteria, and then provide a score for the quality of the provided response.

+

+- You need to translate the provided response into English if it's in another language.

+- Your final response must include both the reference answer and the evaluation result. The evaluation result should be written in English. 

+Built-in prompt used by Large Language Model judge to score this metric (For conversation data format) (with Ground Truth available):

+```

+Your task is to score the relevance between a generated answer and the question based on the ground truth answer in the range between 1 and 5, and please also provide the scoring reason.

+

+Your primary focus should be on determining whether the generated answer contains sufficient information to address the given question according to the ground truth answer.

+

+If the generated answer fails to provide enough relevant information or contains excessive extraneous information, then you should reduce the score accordingly.

+

+If the generated answer contradicts the ground truth answer, it will receive a low score of 1-2.

+

+For example, for question "Is the sky blue?", the ground truth answer is "Yes, the sky is blue." and the generated answer is "No, the sky is not blue.".

+

+In this example, the generated answer contradicts the ground truth answer by stating that the sky is not blue, when in fact it is blue.

+

+This inconsistency would result in a low score of 1-2, and the reason for the low score would reflect the contradiction between the generated answer and the ground truth answer.

+

+Please provide a clear reason for the low score, explaining how the generated answer contradicts the ground truth answer.

+

+Labeling standards are as following:

+

+5 - ideal, should include all information to answer the question comparing to the ground truth answer， and the generated answer is consistent with the ground truth answer

+

+4 - mostly relevant, although it might be a little too narrow or too broad comparing to the ground truth answer, and the generated answer is consistent with the ground truth answer

+

+3 - somewhat relevant, might be partly helpful but might be hard to read or contain other irrelevant content comparing to the ground truth answer, and the generated answer is consistent with the ground truth answer

+

+2 - barely relevant, perhaps shown as a last resort comparing to the ground truth answer, and the generated answer contradicts with the ground truth answer

+

+1 - completely irrelevant, should never be used for answering this question comparing to the ground truth answer, and the generated answer contradicts with the ground truth answer

+```

+### AI-assisted: Coherence

+| Score characteristics | Score details |

+| -- | |

+| Score range | Integer [1-5]: where 1 is bad and 5 is good |

+| What is this metric? | Measures how well the language model can produce output that flows smoothly, reads naturally, and resembles human-like language. |

+| How does it work? | The coherence measure assesses the ability of the language model to generate text that reads naturally, flows smoothly, and resembles human-like language in its responses. |

+| When to use it? | Use it when assessing the readability and user-friendliness of your model's generated responses in real-world applications. |

+| What does it need as input? | Question, Generated Answer |

+Built-in prompt used by Large Language Model judge to score this metric:

+```

+Coherence of an answer is measured by how well all the sentences fit together and sound naturally as a whole. Consider the overall quality of the answer when evaluating coherence. Given the question and answer, score the coherence of answer between one to five stars using the following rating scale:

+One star: the answer completely lacks coherence

+Two stars: the answer mostly lacks coherence

+Three stars: the answer is partially coherent

+Four stars: the answer is mostly coherent

+Five stars: the answer has perfect coherency

+This rating value should always be an integer between 1 and 5. So the rating produced should be 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5.

+### AI-assisted: Fluency

+| Score characteristics | Score details |

+| -- | |

+| Score range | Integer [1-5]: where 1 is bad and 5 is good |

+| What is this metric? | Measures the grammatical proficiency of a generative AI's predicted answer. |

+| How does it work? | The fluency measure assesses the extent to which the generated text conforms to grammatical rules, syntactic structures, and appropriate vocabulary usage, resulting in linguistically correct responses. |

+| When to use it? | Use it when evaluating the linguistic correctness of the AI-generated text, ensuring that it adheres to proper grammatical rules, syntactic structures, and vocabulary usage in the generated responses. |

+| What does it need as input? | Question, Generated Answer |

+Built-in prompt used by Large Language Model judge to score this metric:

+```

+Fluency measures the quality of individual sentences in the answer, and whether they are well-written and grammatically correct. Consider the quality of individual sentences when evaluating fluency. Given the question and answer, score the fluency of the answer between one to five stars using the following rating scale:

+One star: the answer completely lacks fluency

+Two stars: the answer mostly lacks fluency

+Three stars: the answer is partially fluent

+Four stars: the answer is mostly fluent

+Five stars: the answer has perfect fluency

+This rating value should always be an integer between 1 and 5. So the rating produced should be 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5.

+Built-in prompt used by Large Language Model judge to score this metric:

+### AI-assisted: GPT-Similarity

+| Score characteristics | Score details |

+| -- | |

+| Score range | Integer [1-5]: where 1 is bad and 5 is good |

+| What is this metric? | Measures the similarity between a source data (ground truth) sentence and the generated response by an AI model. |

+| How does it work? | The GPT-similarity measure evaluates the likeness between a ground truth sentence (or document) and the AI model's generated prediction. This calculation involves creating sentence-level embeddings for both the ground truth and the model's prediction, which are high-dimensional vector representations capturing the semantic meaning and context of the sentences. |

+| When to use it? | Use it when you want an objective evaluation of an AI model's performance, particularly in text generation tasks where you have access to ground truth responses. GPT-similarity enables you to assess the generated text's semantic alignment with the desired content, helping to gauge the model's quality and accuracy. |

+| What does it need as input? | Question, Ground Truth Answer, Generated Answer |

+Built-in prompt used by Large Language Model judge to score this metric:

+```

+GPT-Similarity, as a metric, measures the similarity between the predicted answer and the correct answer. If the information and content in the predicted answer is similar or equivalent to the correct answer, then the value of the Equivalence metric should be high, else it should be low. Given the question, correct answer, and predicted answer, determine the value of Equivalence metric using the following rating scale:

+One star: the predicted answer is not at all similar to the correct answer

+Two stars: the predicted answer is mostly not similar to the correct answer

+Three stars: the predicted answer is somewhat similar to the correct answer

+Four stars: the predicted answer is mostly similar to the correct answer

+Five stars: the predicted answer is completely similar to the correct answer

+This rating value should always be an integer between 1 and 5. So the rating produced should be 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5.

+```

+### Traditional machine learning: F1 Score

+| Score characteristics | Score details |

+| -- | |

+| Score range | Float [0-1] |

+| What is this metric? | Measures the ratio of the number of shared words between the model generation and the ground truth answers. |

+| How does it work? | The F1-score computes the ratio of the number of shared words between the model generation and the ground truth. Ratio is computed over the individual words in the generated response against those in the ground truth answer. The number of shared words between the generation and the truth is the basis of the F1 score: precision is the ratio of the number of shared words to the total number of words in the generation, and recall is the ratio of the number of shared words to the total number of words in the ground truth. |

+| When to use it? | Use the F1 score when you want a single comprehensive metric that combines both recall and precision in your model's responses. It provides a balanced evaluation of your model's performance in terms of capturing accurate information in the response. |

+# Transparency Note for Azure AI Studio safety evaluations

+## What is a Transparency Note

+An AI system includes not only the technology, but also the people who will use it, the people who will be affected by it, and the environment in which it's deployed. Creating a system that is fit for its intended purpose requires an understanding of how the technology works, what its capabilities and limitations are, and how to achieve the best performance. MicrosoftΓÇÖs Transparency Notes are intended to help you understand how our AI technology works, the choices system owners can make that influence system performance and behavior, and the importance of thinking about the whole system, including the technology, the people, and the environment. You can use Transparency Notes when developing or deploying your own system, or share them with the people who will use or be affected by your system.

+MicrosoftΓÇÖs Transparency Notes are part of a broader effort at Microsoft to put our AI Principles into practice. To find out more, see theΓÇ»[Microsoft AI principles](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/ai/responsible-ai).

+## The basics of Azure AI Studio safety evaluations

+### Introduction

+The Azure AI Studio safety evaluations let users evaluate the output of their generative AI application for textual content risks: hateful and unfair content, sexual content, violent content, self-harm-related content, jailbreak vulnerability. Safety evaluations can also help generate adversarial datasets to help you accelerate and augment the red-teaming operation. Azure AI Studio safety evaluations reflect MicrosoftΓÇÖs commitments to ensure AI systems are built safely and responsibly, operationalizing our Responsible AI principles.

+### Key terms

+- **Hateful and unfair content** refers to any language pertaining to hate toward or unfair representations of individuals and social groups along factors including but not limited to race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, religion, immigration status, ability, personal appearance, and body size. Unfairness occurs when AI systems treat or represent social groups inequitably, creating or contributing to societal inequities.

+- **Sexual content** includes language pertaining to anatomical organs and genitals, romantic relationships, acts portrayed in erotic terms, pregnancy, physical sexual acts (including assault or sexual violence), prostitution, pornography, and sexual abuse.

+- **Violent content** includes language pertaining to physical actions intended to hurt, injure, damage, or kill someone or something. It also includes descriptions of weapons and guns (and related entities such as manufacturers and associations).

+- **Self-harm-related content** includes language pertaining to actions intended to hurt, injure, or damage one's body or kill oneself.

+- **Jailbreak**, direct prompt attacks, or user prompt injection attacks, refer to users manipulating prompts to inject harmful inputs into LLMs to distort actions and outputs. An example of a jailbreak command is a ΓÇÿDANΓÇÖ (Do Anything Now) attack, which can trick the LLM into inappropriate content generation or ignoring system-imposed restrictions.

+- **Defect rate (content risk)** is defined as the percentage of instances in your test dataset that surpass a threshold on the severity scale over the whole dataset size.

+- **Red-teaming** has historically described systematic adversarial attacks for testing security vulnerabilities. With the rise of Large Language Models (LLM), the term has extended beyond traditional cybersecurity and evolved in common usage to describe many kinds of probing, testing, and attacking of AI systems. With LLMs, both benign and adversarial usage can produce potentially harmful outputs, which can take many forms, including harmful content such as hateful speech, incitement or glorification of violence, reference to self-harm-related content or sexual content.

+## Capabilities

+### System behavior

+Azure AI Studio provisions an Azure Open AI GPT-4 model and orchestrates adversarial attacks against your application to generate a high quality test dataset. It then provisions another GPT-4 model to annotate your test dataset for content and security. Users provide their generative AI application endpoint that they wish to test, and the safety evaluations will output a static test dataset against that endpoint along with its content risk label (Very low, Low, Medium, High) and reasoning for the AI-generated label.

+### Use cases

+#### Intended uses

+The safety evaluations aren't intended to use for any purpose other than to evaluate content risks and jailbreak vulnerabilities of your generative AI application:

+- **Evaluating your generative AI application pre-deployment**: Using the evaluation wizard in the Azure AI studio or the Azure AI Python SDK, safety evaluations can assess in an automated way to evaluate potential content or security risks.

+- **Augmenting your red-teaming operations**: Using the adversarial simulator, safety evaluations can simulate adversarial interactions with your generative AI application to attempt to uncover content and security risks.

+- **Communicating content and security risks to stakeholders**: Using the Azure AI studio, you can share access to your AI project with safety evaluations results with auditors or compliance stakeholders.

+#### Considerations when choosing a use case

+We encourage customers to leverage Azure AI Studio safety evaluations in their innovative solutions or applications. However, here are some considerations when choosing a use case:

+- **Safety evaluations should include human-in-the-loop**: Using automated evaluations like Azure AI Studio safety evaluations should include human reviewers such as domain experts to assess whether your generative AI application has been tested thoroughly prior to deployment to end users.

+- **Safety evaluations do not include total comprehensive coverage**: Though safety evaluations can provide a way to augment your testing for potential content or security risks, it wasn't designed to replace manual red-teaming operations specifically geared towards your applicationΓÇÖs domain, use cases, and type of end users.

+- Supported scenarios:

+ - For adversarial simulation: Question answering, multi-turn chat, summarization, search, text rewrite, ungrounded and grounded content generation.

+ - For automated annotation: Question answering and multi-turn chat.

+- The service currently is best used with the English domain for textual generations only. Additional features including multi-model support will be considered for future releases.

+- The coverage of content risks provided in the safety evaluations is subsampled from a limited number of marginalized groups and topics:

+ - The hate- and unfairness metric includes some coverage for a limited number of marginalized groups for the demographic factor of gender (for example, men, women, non-binary people) and race, ancestry, ethnicity, and nationality (for example, Black, Mexican, European). Not all marginalized groups in gender and race, ancestry, ethnicity, and nationality are covered. Other demographic factors that are relevant to hate and unfairness don't currently have coverage (for example, disability, sexuality, religion).

+ - The metrics for sexual, violent, and self-harm-related content are based on a preliminary conceptualization of these harms that are less developed than hate and unfairness. This means that we can make less strong claims about measurement coverage and how well the measurements represent the different ways these harms can occur. Coverage for these content types includes a limited number of topics relate to sex (for example, sexual violence, relationships, sexual acts), violence (for example, abuse, injuring others, kidnapping), and self-harm (for example, intentional death, intentional self-injury, eating disorders).

+- Azure AI Studio safety evaluations don't currently allow for plug-ins or extensibility.

+- To keep quality up to date and improve coverage, we'll aim for a cadence of future releases of improvement to the serviceΓÇÖs adversarial simulation and annotation capabilities.

+### Technical limitations, operational factors, and ranges

+- The field of large language models (LLMs) continues to evolve at a rapid pace, requiring continuous improvement of evaluation techniques to ensure safe and reliable AI system deployment. Azure AI Studio safety evaluations reflect MicrosoftΓÇÖs commitment to continue innovating in the field of LLM evaluation. We aim to provide the best tooling to help you evaluate the safety of your generative AI applications but recognize effective evaluation is a continuous work in progress.

+- Customization of Azure AI Studio safety evaluations is currently limited. We only expect users to provide their input generative AI application endpoint and our service will output a static dataset that is labeled for content risk.

+- Finally, it should be noted that this system doesn't automate any actions or tasks, it only provides an evaluation of your generative AI application outputs, which should be reviewed by a human decision maker in the loop before choosing to deploy the generative AI application or system into production for end users.

+## System performance

+### Best practices for improving system performance

+- When accounting for your domain, which might treat some content more sensitively than other, consider adjusting the threshold for calculating the defect rate.

+- When using the automated safety evaluations, there might sometimes be an error in your AI-generated labels for the severity of a content risk or its reasoning. There's a manual human feedback column to enable human-in-the-loop validation of the automated safety evaluation results.

+## Evaluation of Azure AI Studio safety evaluations

+### Evaluation methods

+For all supported content risk types, we have internally checked the quality by comparing the rate of approximate matches between human labelers using a 0-7 severity scale and the safety evaluationsΓÇÖ automated annotator also using a 0-7 severity scale on the same datasets. For each risk area, we had both human labelers and an automated annotator label 500 English, single-turn texts. The human labelers and the automated annotator didn't use exactly the same versions of the annotation guidelines; while the automated annotatorΓÇÖs guidelines stemmed from the guidelines for humans, they have since diverged to varying degrees (with the hate and unfairness guidelines having diverged the most). Despite these slight to moderate differences, we believe it's still useful to share general trends and insights from our comparison of approximate matches. In our comparisons, we looked for matches with a 2-level tolerance (where human label matched automated annotator label exactly or was within 2 levels above or below in severity), matches with a 1-level tolerance, and matches with a 0-level tolerance.

+### Evaluation results

+Overall, we saw a high rate of approximate matches across the self-harm and sexual content risks across all tolerance levels. For violence and for hate and unfairness, the approximate match rate across tolerance levels were lower. These results were in part due to increased divergence in annotation guideline content for human labelers versus automated annotator, and in part due to the increased amount of content and complexity in specific guidelines.

+Although our comparisons are between entities that used slightly to moderately different annotation guidelines (and are thus not standard human-model agreement comparisons), these comparisons provide an estimate of the quality that we can expect from Azure AI Studio safety evaluations given the parameters of these comparisons. Specifically, we only looked at English samples, so our findings might not generalize to other languages. Also, each dataset sample consisted of only a single turn, and so more experiments are needed to verify generalizability of our evaluation findings to multi-turn scenarios (for example, a back-and-forth conversation including user queries and system responses). The types of samples used in these evaluation datasets can also greatly affect the approximate match rate between human labels and an automated annotator ΓÇô if samples are easier to label (for example, if all samples are free of content risks), we might expect the approximate match rate to be higher. The quality of human labels for an evaluation could also affect the generalization of our findings.

+## Evaluating and integrating Azure AI Studio safety evaluations for your use

+Measurement and evaluation of your generative AI application are a critical part of a holistic approach to AI risk management. Azure AI Studio safety evaluations are complementary to and should be used in tandem with other AI risk management practices. Domain experts and human-in-the-loop reviewers should provide proper oversight when using AI-assisted safety evaluations in the generative AI application design, development, and deployment cycle. You should understand the limitations and intended uses of the safety evaluations, being careful not to rely on outputs produced by Azure AI Studio AI-assisted safety evaluations in isolation.

+Due to the non-deterministic nature of the LLMs, you might experience false negative or positive results, such as a high-severity level of violent content scored as "very low" or ΓÇ£low.ΓÇ¥ Additionally, evaluation results might have different meanings for different audiences. For example, safety evaluations might generate a label for ΓÇ£lowΓÇ¥ severity of violent content that might not align to a human reviewerΓÇÖs definition of how severe that specific violent content might be. In Azure AI Studio, we provide a human feedback column with thumbs up and thumbs down when viewing your evaluation results to surface which instances were approved or flagged as incorrect by a human reviewer. Consider the context of how your results might be interpreted for decision making by others you can share evaluation with and validate your evaluation results with the appropriate level of scrutiny for the level of risk in the environment that each generative AI application operates in.

+|Compute instance runtime | [Compute instance](../../machine-learning/how-to-create-compute-instance.md) | Manual | Manually customize via Azure Machine Learning environment|

+If you're a new user, we recommend that you use the automatic runtime (preview). You can easily customize the environment by adding packages in the `requirements.txt` file in `flow.dag.yaml` in the flow folder.

+If you want manage compute resource by your self, you can use compute instance as compute type in automatic runtime or use compute instance runtime.

+- Select **Start**. Start creating an automatic runtime by using the environment defined in `flow.dag.yaml` in the flow folder, it runs on the virtual machine (VM) size of serverless compute which you have enough quota in the workspace.

+ - Select compute type. You can choose between serverless compute and compute instance.

+ - If you choose serverless compute, you can set following settings:

+ - Customize the VM size that the runtime uses.

+ - Customize the idle time, which saves code by deleting the runtime automatically if it isn't in use.

+ - Set the user-assigned managed identity. The automatic runtime uses this identity to pull a base image and install packages. Make sure that the user-assigned managed identity has Azure Container Registry pull permission.

+

+ If you don't set this identity, we use the user identity by default. [Learn more about how to create and update user-assigned identities for a workspace](../../machine-learning/how-to-identity-based-service-authentication.md#to-create-a-workspace-with-multiple-user-assigned-identities-use-one-of-the-following-methods).

+ - If you choose compute instance, you can only set idle shutdown time.

+ - As it is running on an existing compute instance the VM size is fixed and cannot change in runtime side.

+ - Identity used for this runtime also is defined in compute instance, by default it uses the user identity. [Learn more about how to assign identity to compute instance](../../machine-learning/how-to-create-compute-instance.md#assign-managed-identity)

+ - For the idle shutdown time it is used to define life cycle of the runtime, if the runtime is idle for the time you set, it will be deleted automatically. And of you have idle shut down enabled on compute instance, then it will continue

+By default, we use the latest prompt flow image as the base image. If you want to use a different base image, you need build your own base image, this docker image should be built from prompt flow base image that is `mcr.microsoft.com/azureml/promptflow/promptflow-runtime:<newest_version>`. If possible use the [latest version of the base image](https://mcr.microsoft.com/v2/azureml/promptflow/promptflow-runtime/tags/list). To use the new base image, you need to reset the runtime via the `reset` command. This process takes several minutes as it pulls the new base image and reinstalls packages.

+We would recommend you to switch to automatic runtime, if you're using compute instance runtime. You can switch it to an automatic runtime by using the following steps:

+- Prepare your `requirements.txt` file in the flow folder. Make sure that you don't pin the version of `promptflow` and `promptflow-tools` in `requirements.txt`, because we already include them in the runtime base image. Automatic runtimewill install the packages in `requirements.txt` file when it starts.

+- If you create custom environment to create compute instance runtime, you can also use get the image from environment detail page, and specify it in `flow.dag.yaml` file in the flow folder. To learn more, see [Change the base image for automatic runtime](#change-the-base-image-for-automatic-runtime-preview). Make sure you have `acr pull` permission for the image.

+- For compute resource, you can continue to use the existing compute instance if you would like to manually manage the lifecycle of compute resource or you can try serverless compute which lifecycle is managed by system.

+The Azure AI Studio evaluation page is a versatile hub that not only allows you to visualize and assess your results but also serves as a control center for optimizing, troubleshooting, and selecting the ideal AI model for your deployment needs. It's a one-stop solution for data-driven decision-making and performance enhancement in your AI projects. You can seamlessly access and interpret the results from various sources, including your flow, the playground quick test session, evaluation submission UI, generative SDK, and CLI. This flexibility ensures that you can interact with your results in a way that best suits your workflow and preferences.

+Once you've visualized your evaluation results, you can dive into a thorough examination. This includes the ability to not only view individual results but also to compare these results across multiple evaluation runs. By doing so, you can identify trends, patterns, and discrepancies, gaining invaluable insights into the performance of your AI system under various conditions.

+In this article you learn to:

+You can monitor and manage your evaluation runs within the run list. With the flexibility to modify the columns using the column editor and implement filters, you can customize and create your own version of the run list. Additionally, you can swiftly review the aggregated evaluation metrics across the runs, enabling you to perform quick comparisons.

+We break down the aggregate views or your metrics by**Performance and quality** and **Risk and safety metrics**. You can view the distribution of scores across the evaluated dataset and see aggregate scores for each metric.

+- For performance and quality metrics, we aggregate by calculating an average across all the scores for each metric.

+ :::image type="content" source="../media/evaluations/view-results/evaluation-details-page.png" alt-text="Screenshot of performance and quality metrics dashboard tab." lightbox="../media/evaluations/view-results/evaluation-details-page.png":::

+- For risk and safety metrics, we aggregate based on a threshold to calculate a defect rate across all scores for each metric. Defect rate is defined as the percentage of instances in your test dataset that surpass a threshold on the severity scale over the whole dataset size.

+ :::image type="content" source="../media/evaluations/view-results/evaluation-details-safety-metrics.png" alt-text="Screenshot of risk and safety metrics dashboard tab." lightbox="../media/evaluations/view-results/evaluation-details-safety-metrics.png":::

+For risk and safety metrics, the evaluation provides a severity score and reasoning for each score. Here are some examples of risk and safety metrics results for the question answering scenario:

+Evaluation results might have different meanings for different audiences. For example, safety evaluations might generate a label for ΓÇ£LowΓÇ¥ severity of violent content that might not align to a human reviewerΓÇÖs definition of how severe that specific violent content might be. We provide a **human feedback** column with thumbs up and thumbs down when reviewing your evaluation results to surface which instances were approved or flagged as incorrect by a human reviewer.

+When understanding each content risk metric, you can easily view each metric definition and severity scale by selecting the metric name above the chart to see a detailed explanation in a pop-up.

+Within the comparison table, you have the capability to establish a baseline for your comparison by hovering over the specific run you wish to use as the reference point and set as baseline. Moreover, by activating the 'Show delta' toggle, you can readily visualize the differences between the baseline run and the other runs for numerical values. Additionally, with the 'Show only difference' toggle enabled, the table displays only the rows that differ among the selected runs, aiding in the identification of distinct variations.

+Using these comparison features, you can make an informed decision to select the best version:

+- Numerical Value Assessment: Enabling the 'Show delta' option helps you understand the extent of the differences between the baseline and other runs. This is useful for evaluating how various runs perform in terms of specific evaluation metrics.

+By using these comparison tools effectively, you can identify which version of your model or system performs the best in relation to your defined criteria and metrics, ultimately assisting you in selecting the most optimal option for your application.

+## Measuring jailbreak vulnerability

+Evaluating jailbreak is a comparative measurement, not an AI-assisted metric. Run evaluations on two different, red-teamed datasets: a baseline adversarial test dataset versus the same adversarial test dataset with jailbreak injections in the first turn.

+You can toggle the ΓÇ£Jailbreak defect rateΓÇ¥ on to view the metric in the compare view. Jailbreak defect rate is defined as the percentage of instances in your test dataset where a jailbreak injection generated a higher severity score for *any* content risk metric with respect to a baseline over the whole dataset size. You can select multiple evaluations in your compare dashboard to view the difference in defect rates.

+> [!TIP]

+> Jailbreak defect rate is comparatively calculated only for datasets of the same size and only when all runs include content risk metrics.

+## Understand the built-in evaluation metrics

+Understanding the built-in metrics is vital for assessing the performance and effectiveness of your AI application. By gaining insights into these key measurement tools, you're better equipped to interpret the results, make informed decisions, and fine-tune your application to achieve optimal outcomes.

+Large language models are known for their few-shot and zero-shot learning abilities, allowing them to function with minimal data. However, this limited data availability impedes thorough evaluation and optimization when you might not have test datasets to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of your generative AI application. Using GPT to simulate a user interaction with your application, with configurable tone, task, and characteristics can help with stress testing your application under various environments, effectively gauging how a model responds to different inputs and scenarios.

+There are two main scenarios for generating a simulated interaction:

+- **General-purpose interaction simulation:** generate multiple interaction data samples at one time with user-provided list of tasks or profiles to create a target dataset to evaluate your generative AI applications.

+- **Adversarial interaction simulation:** Augment and accelerate your red-teaming operation by leveraging Azure AI Studio safety evaluations to generate an adversarial dataset against your application. We provide adversarial tasks and profiles along with access to an Azure Open AI GPT-4 model with safety behaviors turned off to enable the adversarial simulation.

+## Getting started

+First install and import the simulator package from Azure AI SDK:

+pip install azure-ai-generative[simulator]

+from azure.ai.generative import Simulator

+### Initialize large language model

+The general simulator works by setting up a system large language model such as GPT to simulate a user and interact with your application. It takes in task parameters that specify what task you want the simulator to accomplish in interacting with your application as well as giving character and tone to the simulator. First we set up the system large language model, which will interact with your target to simulate a user or test case against your generative AI application.

+from azure.ai.resources.entities import AzureOpenAIModelConfiguration

+# initialize ai_client. This assums that config.json downloaded from ai workspace is present in the working directory

+ai_client = AIClient.from_config(DefaultAzureCredential())

+aoai_connection = ai_client.get_default_aoai_connection()

+# Specify model and deployment name for your system large language model

+`max_tokens` and `temperature` are optional. The default value for `max_tokens` is 300. The default value for `temperature` is 0.9.

+### Initialize simulator class

+`Simulator` class supports interacting between the system large language model and the following:

+- A local function that follows a protocol.

+- A local standard chat PromptFlow as defined with the interface in the [develop a chat flow example](https://microsoft.github.io/promptflow/how-to-guides/develop-a-flow/develop-chat-flow.html).

+function_simulator = Simulator.from_fn(

+ fn=my_chat_app_function, # Simulate against a local function OR callback function

+ simulator_connection=aoai_config # Configure the simulator

+)

+promptflow_simulator = Simulator.from_pf(

+ pf_path="./mypromptflow", # Simulate against a local promptflow

+ simulator_connection=aoai_config # Configure the simulator

+)

+> [!NOTE]

+> Currently on Azure Open AI model configurations are supported for the `simulator_connection`.

+#### Specifying a callback function to initialize your Simulator

+For a more custom simulator, which can support wrapping a more complex or custom target function, we support passing in a callback function when instantiating your Simulator. The following is an example of providing a local function or local flow, and wrapping it in a `simulate_callback` function:

+async def simulate_callback(

+ messages: List[Dict],

+ stream: bool = False,

+ session_state: Any = None,

+ context: Dict[str, Any] = None

+ ):

+ question = messages["messages"][0]["content"]

+"""

+Expected response from simulate_callback:

+{

+ "messages": messages["messages"],

+ "stream": stream,

+ "session_state": session_state,

+ "context": context

+}

+"""

+Then pass the `simulate_callback()` function as a parameter when you instantiate your `Simulator.from_fn()`

+custom_simulator = Simulator.from_fn(

+ callback_fn=simulate_callback,

+ simulator_connection=aoai_config

+)

+## Simulating general scenarios

+We provide the basic prompt templates needed for the system large language model to simulate different scenarios with your target.

+| Task type | Template name |

+|--|--|

+| Conversation | `conversation` |

+| Summarization | `summarization` |

+Which can be called as a function by the `Simulator` by passing in the template name for the desired task above in the `get_template()` function.

+conversation_template = Simulator.get_template("conversation")

+conversation_parameters = task_template.get_parameters

+Configure the parameters for the simulated scenario (conversation) prompt template as a dictionary with the name of your simulated user, its profile description, tone, task, conversation starter input, and any additional metadata you might want to provide as part of the persona or task. You can also configure the name of your target chat application to ensure that the simulator knows what it's interacting with.

+ "conversation_starter":"Hi, this is the conversation starter that Cortana starts the conversation with the chatbot with.",

+Simulate either synchronously or asynchronously. The `Simulate()` function accepts three inputs: the conversation template, conversation parameters, and maximum number of turns. Optionally you can specify `api_call_delay_sec`, `api_call_retry_sleep_sec`, `api_call_retry_limit`, and `max_simulation_results`.

+```python

+conversation_result = simulator.simulate(

+ template=conversation_template,

+ parameters=conversation_parameters,

+ max_conversation_turns = 3 #optional: specify the number of turns in a conversation

+)

+conversation_result = await simulator.simulate(

+ template=conversation_template,

+ parameters=conversation_parameters,

+ max_conversation_turns = 3

+)

+```

+`max_conversation_turns` defines how many turns the simulator will generate at most. It's optional, default value is 1. A turn is defined as a pair of input from the simulated "user" then response from your "assistant. `max_conversation_turns` parameter is only valid for the template type for conversations.

+### Create custom simulation task templates

+If the provided built-in templates aren't sufficient, you can create your own templates by either passing in a prompt template directly or passing string in that can be passed to the system large language model simulator.

+```python

+custom_scenario_template = Simulator.create_template(template="My template content in string") # pass in string

+custom_scenario_template = Simulator.create_template(template_path="custom_simulator_prompt.jinja2") # pass in path to local prompt file

+```

+## Simulating adversarial scenarios

+Like the general-purpose simulator, you instantiate the adversarial simulator with the target you want to simulate against. However, you don't need to configure the simulator connection. Instead, pass in your AI Client, as the deployment for handling adversarial simulation for generating adversarial datasets is handled by a backend service.

+```python

+from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

+from azure.ai.resources.client import AIClient

+from azure.ai.resources.entities import AzureOpenAIModelConfiguration

+ai_client = AIClient.from_config(DefaultAzureCredential())

+adversarial_simulator = Simulator.from_fn(

+ callback_fn=simulate_callback,

+ ai_client = ai_client # make sure to pass in the AI client to call the safety evaluations service

+)

+```

+The simulator uses a set of adversarial prompt templates, hosted in the service, to simulate against your target application or endpoint for the following scenarios with the maximum number of simulations we provide:

+| Task type | Template name | Maximum number of simulations | Use this dataset for evaluating |

+|-||||

+| Question Answering | `adv_qa` |1384 | Hateful and unfair content, Sexual content, Violent content, Self-harm-related content |

+| Conversation | `adv_conversation` |1018 |Hateful and unfair content, Sexual content, Violent content, Self-harm-related content |

+| Summarization | `adv_summarization` |525 |Hateful and unfair content, Sexual content, Violent content, Self-harm-related content |

+| Search | `adv_search` |1000 |Hateful and unfair content, Sexual content, Violent content, Self-harm-related content |

+| Text Rewrite | `adv_rewrite` |1000 |Hateful and unfair content, Sexual content, Violent content, Self-harm-related content |

+| Ungrounded Content Generation | `adv_content_gen_ungrounded` |496 | Groundedness |

+| Grounded Content Generation | `adv_content_gen_grounded` |475 |Groundedness |

+You can get the templates you need for your scenario and pass it into your Simulator as the `template` parameter when you simulate.

+```python

+adv_template = Simulator.get_template("adv_conversation") # get template for content harms

+adv_conversation_result = adversarial_simulator.simulate(

+ template=adv_template, # pass in the template, no paramaters list necessary

+ max_simulation_results=100, # optional: limit the simulation results to the size of the dataset you need

+ max_conversation_turns=3

+)

+```

+You can set `max_simulation_results` which controls the number of generations (conversations) you want in your dataset. By default, the full maximum number of simulations will be generated in the `adv_conversation_result`.

+### Generate an adversarial dataset with jailbreak injections

+Evaluating jailbreak is a comparative measurement, not an AI-assisted metric. Run evaluations on two different, red-teamed datasets: a baseline adversarial test dataset versus the same adversarial test dataset with jailbreak injections in the first turn. You can generate the adversarial content harms dataset with jailbreak injections with the following flag.

+adv_conversation_result_with_jailbreak = adversarial_simulator.simulate(

+ template=adv_template,

+ max_conversation_turns=3,

+ jailbreak=true # by default it is set to false, set to true to inject jailbreak strings into the first turn

+)

+The service provides a list of jailbreak `conversation_starters`, and the `jailbreak=true` randomly samples from that dataset for each generation.

+### Output

+The `conversation_result` will be an array of messages.

+The `messages` in `conversation_result` is a list of conversation turns, for each conversation turn, it contains `content` which is the content of conversation, `role` which is either the user (simulated agent) or assistant and any required citations or context from either simulated user or the chat application.

+The `simulation_parameters` contains the parameters passed into the template used for simulating the scenario (conversation).

+If an array of parameters is provided for a template, the simulator will return an array of outputs with the format specified as below:

+ "template_parameters": [

+ {

+ "name": "<name_of_simulated_agent>",

+ "profile": "<description_of_simulated_agent>",

+ "tone": "<tone_description>",

+ "conversation_starter": "<conversation_starter_input>",

+ "metadata": {

+ "<content_key>":"<content_value>"

+ },

+ "task": "<task_description>",

+ "chatbot_name": "<name_of_chatbot>"

+ }

+

+ ],

+> [!TIP]

+> All outputs of the simulator will follow the chat protocol format above. To convert a single turn chat format to Question and Answering pair format, use the helper function `to_eval_qa_json_lines()` on your simulator output.

+### Additional functionality

+#### Early termination

+Stop conversation earlier if the conversation meets a certain criteria, such as "bye" or "goodbye" appears in the conversation. Users can customize the stopping criteria themselves as well.

+#### Retry

+User can also define their own `api_call_retry_sleep_sec` and `api_call_retry_max_count` and pass it into the `Simulator()`.

+If your existing App Service Environment uses a custom domain suffix, you need to [configure one for your new App Service Environment v3 resource during the migration process](./side-by-side-migrate.md#add-a-custom-domain-suffix-optional). Migration fails if you don't configure a custom domain suffix and are using one currently. For more information on App Service Environment v3 custom domain suffixes, including requirements, step-by-step instructions, and best practices, see [Custom domain suffix for App Service Environments](./how-to-custom-domain-suffix.md).

+The validation also checks if your App Service Environment is on the minimum build required for migration. The minimum build is updated periodically to ensure the latest bug fixes and improvements are available. If your App Service Environment isn't on the minimum build, you need to start the upgrade yourself. This upgrade is a standard process where your App Service Environment isn't impacted, but you can't scale or make changes to your App Service Environment while the upgrade is in progress. You can't migrate until the upgrade finishes. Upgrades can take 8-12 hours to complete or longer depending on the size of your environment. If you plan a specific time window for your migration, you should run the validation check 24-48 hours before your planned migration time to ensure you have time for an upgrade if one is needed.

+Arc resource bridge consists of an appliance VM that is deployed to the on-premises infrastructure. The appliance VM maintains a connection to the management endpoint of the on-premises infrastructure using locally stored credentials. If these credentials aren't updated, the resource bridge is no longer able to communicate with the management endpoint. This can cause problems when trying to upgrade the resource bridge or manage VMs through Azure. To fix this, the credentials in the appliance VM need to be updated. For more information, see [Update credentials in the appliance VM](maintenance.md#update-credentials-in-the-appliance-vm).

+### Private Link is unsupported

+Arc resource bridge doesn'tt support private link. All calls coming from the appliance VM shouldn't be going through your private link setup. The Private Link IPs may conflict with the appliance IP pool range, which isn't configurable on the resource bridge. Arc resource bridge reaches out to [required URLs](network-requirements.md#firewallproxy-url-allowlist) that shouldn't go through a private link connection. You must deploy Arc resource bridge on a separate network segment unrelated to the private link setup.

+* Create a JavaScript function that gets called once the page loads.

+* An event handler is added in Azure Maps to monitor the `ready` event of the map instance. This fires when the map finishes loading the WebGL context and all resources needed. Any post load code can be added in this event handler.

+Both Symbol and Bubble layers are rendered within the WebGL context and are capable of rendering large sets of points on the map. These layers require data to be stored in a data source. Data sources and rendering layers should be added to the map after the `ready` event fires. HTML Markers are rendered as DOM elements within the page and donΓÇÖt use a data source. The more DOM elements a page has, the slower the page becomes. If rendering more than a few hundred points on a map, try using one of the rendering layers instead.

+The second is to add it using the mapΓÇÖs `entities` property. This function is marked deprecated in the documentation for Bing Maps V8 however it remains partially functional for basic scenarios.

+When using a Symbol layer, the data must be added to a data source, and the data source attached to the layer. Additionally, the data source and layer should be added to the map after the `ready` event fires. To render a unique text value above a symbol, the text information needs to be stored as a property of the data point and that property referenced in the `textField` option of the layer. This is a bit more work than using HTML markers but provides performance advantages.

+In Azure Maps, polylines are referred to the more commonly geospatial terms `LineString` or `MultiLineString` objects. These objects can be added to a data source and rendered using a line layer. The stroke color, width, and dash array options are nearly identical between the platforms.

+When rendering clustered data on the map, it's often easiest to use two or more layers. The following example uses three layers, a bubble layer for drawing scaled colored circles based on the size of the clusters, a symbol layer to render the cluster size as text, and a second symbol layer for rendering the unclustered points. For more information on rendering clustered data in Azure Maps, see [Clustering point data in the Web SDK].

+In Azure Maps, a tile layer can be added to the map in much the same way as any other layer. A formatted URL that has in x, y, zoom placeholders; `{x}`, `{y}`, `{z}` respectively is used to tell the layer where to access the tiles. Azure Maps tile layers also support `{quadkey}`, `{bbox-epsg-3857}`, and `{subdomain}` placeholders.

+Both Bing and Azure maps support overlaying georeferenced images on the map that they move and scale as you pan and zoom the map. In Bing Maps these are known as ground overlays, in Azure Maps they're referred to as image layers. Image layers are great for building floor plans, overlaying old maps, or imagery from a drone.

+In Azure Maps, the drawing tools module needs to be loaded by loading the JavaScript and CSS files need to be referenced in the app. Once the map is loaded, an instance of the `DrawingManager` class can be created and a `DrawingToolbar` instance attached.

+description: This article explains how to create a new Azure Monitor log search alert rule or edit an existing rule.

+#Customer intent: As a customer, I want to create a new log search alert rule or edit an existing rule so that I can monitor my resources and receive alerts when certain conditions are met.

+Limitations for log search alert rule queries:

+ - Log search alert rule queries do not support the 'bag_unpack()', 'pivot()' and 'narrow()' plugins.

+ - The word "AggregatedValue" is a reserved word, it cannot be used in the query on Log search Alerts rules.

+ - The combined size of all data in the log alert rule properties cannot exceed 64KB.

+1. (Optional) If you're querying an ADX or ARG cluster, Log Analytics can't automatically identify the column with the event timestamp. We recommend that you add a time range filter to the query. For example:

+ For sample log search alert queries that query ARG or ADX, see [Log search alert query samples](./alerts-log-alert-query-samples.md).

+ These are the limitations for using cross queries:

+ > [!NOTE]

+ > Notice that rule that uses **Identity** cannot have the character ";" in the **Alert rule name**

+# Resource Manager template samples for Azure Monitor activity log alert rules (Administrative category)

+This article includes examples of [Azure Resource Manager templates](../../azure-resource-manager/templates/syntax.md) to create and configure activity log alerts for Administrative events in Azure Monitor.

+## Activity log alert rule condition for the **Administrative** event category:

+You can populate the _client_IP_ field for requests by setting an attribute on the span. Application Insights uses the IP address to generate user location attributes and then [discards it by default](ip-collection.md#default-behavior).

+activity.SetTag("client.address", "<IP Address>");

+| Collect only critical resource log data from Azure resources. | When you create [diagnostic settings](essentials/diagnostic-settings.md) to send [resource logs](essentials/resource-logs.md) for your Azure resources to a Log Analytics database, only specify those categories that you require. Since diagnostic settings don't allow granular filtering of resource logs, you can use a [workspace transformation](essentials/data-collection-transformations-workspace.md) to filter unneeded data for those resources that use a [supported table](logs/tables-feature-support.md). See [Diagnostic settings in Azure Monitor](essentials/diagnostic-settings.md#controlling-costs) for details on how to configure diagnostic settings and using transformations to filter their data. |

+When enabling Container insights, only certain regions are supported for linking a Log Analytics workspace and an AKS cluster, and collecting custom metrics submitted to Azure Monitor.

+> [!NOTE]

+> Container insights is supported in all regions supported by AKS as specified in [Azure Products by Region](https://azure.microsoft.com/explore/global-infrastructure/products-by-region/?products=kubernetes-service), but AKS must be in the same region as the AKS workspace for most regions. This article lists the mapping for those regions where AKS can be in a different workspace from the Log Analytics workspace.

+Azure Monitor is based on a [common monitoring data platform](data-platform.md) that allows different types of data from multiple types of resources to be analyzed together using a common set of tools. Currently, different sources of data for Azure Monitor use different methods to deliver their data, and each typically require different types of configuration. This article describes common sources of monitoring data collected by Azure Monitor and their data collection methods. Use this article as a starting point to understand the option for collecting different types of data being generated in your environment.

+Application monitoring in Azure Monitor is done with [Application Insights](/azure/azure-monitor/app/app-insights-overview/), which collects data from applications running on various platforms in Azure, another cloud, or on-premises. When you enable Application Insights for an application, it collects metrics and logs related to the performance and operation of the application and stores it in the same Azure Monitor data platform used by other data sources.

+The sample data collection endpoint (DCE) below is for virtual machines with Azure Monitor agent, with public network access disabled so that agent only uses private links to communicate and send data to Azure Monitor/Log Analytics.

+For example, the following diagram illustrates data collection for the [Azure Monitor agent](../agents/azure-monitor-agent-overview.md) running on a virtual machine. In this scenario, the DCR specifies events and performance data, which the agent uses to determine what data to collect from the machine and send to Azure Monitor. Once the data is delivered, the data pipeline runs the transformation specified in the DCR to filter and modify the data and then sends the data to the specified workspace and table. DCRs for other data collection scenarios may contain different information.

+## Data collection in Azure Monitor

+DCRs are part of a new [ETL](/azure/architecture/data-guide/relational-data/etl)-like data collection pipeline being implemented by Azure Monitor that improves on legacy data collection methods. This process uses a common data ingestion pipeline for all data sources and provides a standard method of configuration that's more manageable and scalable than current methods. Specific advantages of the new data collection include the following:

+- Common set of destinations for different data sources.

+- Ability to apply a transformation to filter or modify incoming data before it's stored.

+- Consistent method for configuration of different data sources.

+- Scalable configuration options supporting infrastructure as code and DevOps processes.

+When implementation is complete, all data collected by Azure Monitor will use the new data collection process and be managed by DCRs. Currently, only [certain data collection methods](#data-collection-scenarios) support the ingestion pipeline, and they may have limited configuration options. There's no difference between data collected with the new ingestion pipeline and data collected using other methods. The data is all stored together as [Logs](../logs/data-platform-logs.md) and [Metrics](data-platform-metrics.md), supporting Azure Monitor features such as log queries, alerts, and workbooks. The only difference is in the method of collection.

+## Data collection rule associations

+Some data collection scenarios will use data collection rule associations (DCRAs), which associate a DCR with an object being monitored. A single object can be associated with multiple DCRs, and a single DCR can be associated with multiple objects. This allows you to manage a single DCR for a group of objects.

+For example, the diagram above illustrates data collection for the Azure Monitor agent. When the agent is installed, it connects to Azure Monitor to retrieve any DCRs that are associated with it. You can create an association with to the same DCRs for multiple VMs.

+## Data collection scenarios

+The following table describes the data collection scenarios that are currently supported using DCR and the new data ingestion pipeline. See the links in each entry for details.

+| Scenario | Description |

+| | |

+| Virtual machines | Install the [Azure Monitor agent](../agents/agents-overview.md) on a VM and associate it with one or more DCRs that define the events and performance data to collect from the client operating system. You can perform this configuration using the Azure portal so you don't have to directly edit the DCR.<br><br>See [Collect events and performance counters from virtual machines with Azure Monitor Agent](../agents/data-collection-rule-azure-monitor-agent.md). |

+| | When you enable [VM insights](../vm/vminsights-overview.md) on a virtual machine, it deploys the Azure Monitor agent to telemetry from the VM client. The DCR is created for you automatically to collect a predefined set of performance data.<br><br>See [Enable VM Insights overview](../vm/vminsights-enable-overview.md). |

+| Container insights | When you enable [Container insights](../containers/container-insights-overview.md) on your Kubernetes cluster, it deploys a containerized version of the Azure Monitor agent to send logs from the cluster to a Log Analytics workspace. The DCR is created for you automatically, but you may need to modify it to customize your collection settings.<br><br>See [Configure data collection in Container insights using data collection rule](../containers/container-insights-data-collection-dcr.md). |

+| Log ingestion API | The [Logs ingestion API](../logs/logs-ingestion-api-overview.md) allows you to send data to a Log Analytics workspace from any REST client. The API call specifies the DCR to accept its data and specifies the DCR's endpoint. The DCR understands the structure of the incoming data, includes a transformation that ensures that the data is in the format of the target table, and specifies a workspace and table to send the transformed data.<br><br>See [Logs Ingestion API in Azure Monitor](../logs/logs-ingestion-api-overview.md). |

+| Azure Event Hubs | Send data to a Log Analytics workspace from [Azure Event Hubs](../../event-hubs/event-hubs-about.md). The DCR defines the incoming stream and defines the transformation to format the data for its destination workspace and table.<br><br>See [Tutorial: Ingest events from Azure Event Hubs into Azure Monitor Logs (Public Preview)](../logs/ingest-logs-event-hub.md). |

+| Workspace transformation DCR | The workspace transformation DCR is a special DCR that's associated with a Log Analytics workspace and allows you to perform transformations on data being collected using other methods. You create a single DCR for the workspace and add a transformation to one or more tables. The transformation is applied to any data sent to those tables through a method that doesn't use a DCR.<br><br>See [Workspace transformation DCR in Azure Monitor](./data-collection-transformations-workspace.md). |

+description: Create a transformation for data not being collected using a data collection rule (DCR).

+ms.reviwer: nikeist

+# Workspace transformation data collection rule (DCR) in Azure Monitor

+The *workspace transformation data collection rule (DCR)* is a special [DCR](./data-collection-rule-overview.md) that's applied directly to a Log Analytics workspace. The purpose of this DCR is to perform [transformations](./data-collection-transformations.md) on data that does not yet use a DCR for its data collection, and thus has no means to define a transformation.

+The workspace transformation DCR includes transformations for one or more supported tables in the workspace. These transformations are applied to any data sent to these tables unless that data came from another DCR. For example, if you create a transformation in the workspace transformation DCR for the Event table, it would be applied to events collected by virtual machines running the Log Analytics agent because this agent doesn't use a DCR. The transformation would be ignored by any data sent from Azure Monitor Agent because it uses a DCR and would be expected to provide its own transformation.

+A common use of the workspace transformation DCR is collection of [resource logs](./resource-logs.md) that are configured with a [diagnostic setting](./diagnostic-settings.md). You might want to apply a transformation to this data to filter out records that you don't require. Since diagnostic settings don't have transformations, you can use the workspace transformation DCR to apply a transformation to this data.

+## Supported tables

+See [Tables that support transformations in Azure Monitor Logs](../logs/tables-feature-support.md) for a list of the tables that can be used with transformations. You can also use the [Azure Monitor data reference](/azure/azure-monitor/reference/) which lists the attributes for each table, including whether it supports transformations. In addition to these tables, any custom tables (suffix of *_CL*) are also supported.

+## Create a workspace transformation

+See the following tutorials for creating a workspace transformation DCR:

+- [Add workspace transformation to Azure Monitor Logs by using the Azure portal](../logs/tutorial-workspace-transformations-portal.md)

+- [Add workspace transformation to Azure Monitor Logs by using Resource Manager templates](../logs/tutorial-workspace-transformations-api.md)

+## Next steps

+- [Use the Azure portal to create a workspace transformation DCR.](../logs/tutorial-workspace-transformations-api.md)

+- [Use ARM templates to create a workspace transformation DCR.](../logs/tutorial-workspace-transformations-portal.md)

+Transformations are performed in Azure Monitor in the data ingestion pipeline after the data source delivers the data and before it's sent to the destination. The data source might perform its own filtering before sending data but then rely on the transformation for further manipulation before it's sent to the destination.

+Transformations are defined in a [data collection rule (DCR)](data-collection-rule-overview.md) and use a [Kusto Query Language (KQL) statement](data-collection-transformations-structure.md) that's applied individually to each entry in the incoming data. It must understand the format of the incoming data and create output in the structure expected by the destination.

+The following diagram illustrates the transformation process for incoming data and shows a sample query that might be used. See [Structure of transformation in Azure Monitor](./data-collection-transformations-structure.md) for details on building transformation queries.

+| Format data for destination | You might have a data source that sends data in a format that doesn't match the structure of the destination table. Use a transformation to reformat the data to the required schema. |

+See [Tables that support transformations in Azure Monitor Logs](../logs/tables-feature-support.md) for a list of the tables that can be used with transformations. You can also use the [Azure Monitor data reference](/azure/azure-monitor/reference/) which lists the attributes for each table, including whether it supports transformations. In addition to these tables, any custom tables (suffix of *_CL*) are also supported.

+- Any Azure table listed in [Tables that support transformations in Azure Monitor Logs](../logs/tables-feature-support.md). You can also use the [Azure Monitor data reference](/azure/azure-monitor/reference/) which lists the attributes for each table, including whether it supports transformations.

+- Any custom table created for the Azure Monitor Agent. (MMA custom table can't use transformations)

+## Create a transformation

+There are multiple methods to create transformations depending on the data collection method. The following table lists guidance for different methods for creating transformations.

+| Data collection | Reference |

+|:|:|

+| Logs ingestion API | [Send data to Azure Monitor Logs by using REST API (Azure portal)](../logs/tutorial-logs-ingestion-portal.md)<br>[Send data to Azure Monitor Logs by using REST API (Azure Resource Manager templates)](../logs/tutorial-logs-ingestion-api.md) |

+Custom fields is a feature of Azure Monitor that allows you to extract into a separate column data from a different text column of the same table. Creation of new custom fields will be disabled starting March 31, 2023. Custom fields functionality will be deprecated and existing custom fields will stop functioning on March 31, 2026.

+ - If the column *is empty* (or not present in query results) and *there are DCRs* associated with the table, the custom field logic wasn't implemented with the DCR. Add a transformation to the dataflow in the existing DCR.

+ - If the column *isn't empty* and *there are no DCRs* associated with the table, the custom field logic needs to implemented as a transformation in the [workspace DCR](../essentials/data-collection-transformations-workspace.md).

+ - String functions as [split()](/azure/data-explorer/kusto/query/splitfunction), [substring()](/azure/data-explorer/kusto/query/substringfunction), and [many others](/azure/data-explorer/kusto/query/scalarfunctions#string-functions) may also be useful.

+ - For resource logs collected with [diagnostic settings](../essentials/diagnostic-settings.md), add the transformation to the [workspace default DCR](../essentials/data-collection-transformations-workspace.md). The table must [support transformations](../logs/tables-feature-support.md).

+Consider migrating to Azure Monitor Agent (AMA). Log Analytics agent is approaching its end of support, and you should migrate to Azure Monitor Agent (AMA). [Text logs collected with AMA](../agents/data-collection-text-log.md) use log parsing logic defined in form of KQL transformations from the start. Custom fields aren't required and not supported in text logs collected by Azure Monitor Agent.

+No, you need to migrate your custom fields only if you still want your custom columns populated. If you don't migrate your custom fields, corresponding columns will stop being populated when support of custom fields is ended. Data that has been already processed and stored in the table won't be affected and will remain usable.

+No, custom fields are calculated at the time of data ingestion. Deleting the field definition or not migrating them in time won't affect any data previously ingested.

+- **Data isolation**: With Azure Backup, the vaulted backup data is stored in Microsoft-managed Azure subscription and tenant. External users or guests have no direct access to this backup storage or its contents, which ensures the isolation of backup data from the production environment where the data source resides. This robust approach ensures that even in a compromised environment, existing backups can't be tampered or deleted by unauthorized users.

+- Create an Azure Communication Services resource. For details, see [Create an Azure Communication Resource](../quickstarts/create-communication-resource.md). Record your resource **connection string** for this quickstart.

+1. Open an instance of PowerShell, Windows Terminal, Command Prompt, or equivalent and navigate to the directory where you'd like to clone the sample to.

+2. Clone the repo using the following CLI string:

+ `git clone https://github.com/Azure-Samples/communication-services-web-chat-hero.git`

+ Or clone the repo using any method described in [Clone an existing Git repo](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/devops/repos/git/clone).

+3. Get the `Connection String` and `Endpoint URL` from the Azure portal or by using the Azure CLI.

+4. Once you get the `Connection String`, Add the connection string to the **Server/appsettings.json** file found under the Chat folder. Input your connection string in the variable: `ResourceConnectionString`.

+5. Once you get the `Endpoint`, add the endpoint string to the **Server/appsetting.json** file. Input your endpoint in the variable: `EndpointUrl`.

+6. Get the `identity` from the Azure portal. Select **Identities & User Access Tokens** in the Azure portal. Generate a user with `Chat` scope.

+7. Once you get the `identity` string, add the identity string to the **Server/appsetting.json** file. Input your identity string in the variable: `AdminUserId`. This is the server user to add new users to the chat thread.

+## Why is my savings plan utilization lower than expected?

+Only usage from eligible Azure resources may receive cost savings through Azure savings plan. Resource eligibility requires both of the following criteria to be met:

+1. Benefit scope - the resource must be within the benefit scope of the savings plan. To learn more, see [Savings plan scopes](scope-savings-plan.md)

+2. Product inclusion - the resource must be an instance of a product that is included in the savings plan model. To learn which products are eligible for savings plan, follow the instruction in [Download your savings plan price sheet](download-savings-plan-price-sheet.md)

+There are numerous reasons that an Azure saving plan may be underutilized. Examples are listed below. In some cases, broadening the savings plan benefit scope can result in greater utilization.

+- **Custom hourly commitment too large** - it is important to follow purchase recommendations provided through Azure Advisor, the savings plan purchase experience in Azure portal, and through the Savings plan benefit recommendations API. Purchasing an amount greater than the recommended value may result in underutilization, and negatively impact your cost savings goals. To learn more, see [Azure savings plans recommendations](purchase-recommendations.md).

+- **Recent changes in resource usage** - your savings plan-eligible usage may have recently decreased. Reasons for these changes include:

+ - ***VM rightsizing*** - To learn more, see [VM shutdown recommendations](../../advisor/advisor-cost-recommendations.md#shutdown-recommendations)

+ - ***VM shutdowns*** - To learn more, see [Resize SKU recommendations](../../advisor/advisor-cost-recommendations.md#resize-sku-recommendations)

+ - ***switch to non-eligible products*** - To learn which products are savings plan-eligible, compare your usage to the list of saving plan-eligible products in your price sheet. See instructions to [Download your savings plan price sheet](download-savings-plan-price-sheet.md)

+- **Recent savings plan/reservation purchase** - Savings plans and Azure reservations can provide cost savings benefits to some of the same types of products. A recently purchased/re-scoped reservation may be providing benefits to usage that was previously covered by your savings plan. Please review, and consider adjusting, the benefit scope(s) of any recently purchased savings plan(s) or reservations(s).

+- **Narrow benefit scope** - Your savings plan's scope may be excluding more usage than you intend. To learn more, see [Savings plan scopes](scope-savings-plan.md).

+## Why am I incurring on-demand charges while my savings plan utilization is less than 100%?

+Azure saving plan is an hourly benefit - this means each of the 24 hours in a day is a separate benefit window. In some hours, you may be underutilizing your savings plan benefits. In other hours, you may be fully utilizing your savings plan, and also incurring on-demand charges. When viewed from the daily usage perspective, you may see both plan underutilization and, on-demand charges, for the same day.

+The Azure usage and billing systems determine your hourly cost by examining your usage for each hour. Usage of all services that you used in the previous hour is reported to the Azure billing systems. However, usage isn't always sent instantly, which makes it difficult to determine which resources should receive the benefit. To compensate, Azure temporarily applies the maximum benefit to all usage received. This may result in Azure applying benefits that are greater than the hourly commitment. Azure then does extra processing to quickly reconcile utilization back down to 100%. Periods of such overutilization are most likely to appear immediately after a usage hour.

+## General Availability of Unified Disk Encryption recommendations

+**Announcement date: March 28, 2024**

+**Estimated date of change: April 30, 2024**

+Unified Disk Encryption recommendations will be released for General Availability (GA) within Azure Public Cloud in April 2024. The recommendations enable customers to audit encryption compliance of virtual machines with Azure Disk Encryption or EncryptionAtHost.

+**Recommendations moving to GA:**

+| Recommendation name | Assessment key |

+| - | - |

+| Linux virtual machines should enable Azure Disk Encryption or EncryptionAtHost | a40cc620-e72c-fdf4-c554-c6ca2cd705c0 |

+| Windows virtual machines should enable Azure Disk Encryption or EncryptionAtHost | 0cb5f317-a94b-6b80-7212-13a9cc8826af |

+Azure Disk Encryption (ADE) and EncryptionAtHost provide encryption at rest coverage, as described in [Overview of managed disk encryption options - Azure Virtual Machines](/azure/virtual-machines/disk-encryption-overview), and we recommend enabling either of these on virtual machines.

+The recommendations depend on [Guest Configuration](/azure/governance/machine-configuration/overview). Prerequisites to onboard to Guest configuration should be enabled on virtual machines for the recommendations to complete compliance scans as expected.

+These recommendations will replace the recommendation "Virtual machines should encrypt temp disks, caches, and data flows between Compute and Storage resources."

+ Title: Track costs associated with a lab in Azure DevTest Labs

+description: This article provides information on how to track the cost of your lab through Azure Cost Management.

+This article provides information on how to track the cost of your lab through [Azure Cost Management](../cost-management-billing/cost-management-billing-overview.md) by applying tags to the lab to filter costs. DevTest Labs may create more resource groups for resources related to the lab (depending on the features used and the settings of the lab). For this reason, itΓÇÖs often not straightforward to get a view of the total costs for a lab just by looking at Resource Groups. To create a single view of costs per lab, tags are used.

+## Steps to Leverage Cost Management for DevTest Labs

+These are the steps needed to use cost management for DevTest Labs. More details are captured in the following sections.

+1. Enable tag inheritance for costs.

+1. Apply tags to the DevTest Labs (cost center, business unit, etc.).

+1. Provide permissions to allow users to view costs.

+1. Use Azure Cost Management for viewing/filtering costs for DevTest Labs, based on the tags.

+## Step 1: Enable Tag Inheritance for Tags on Resource Groups

+When DevTest Labs creates [environments](devtest-lab-create-environment-from-arm.md), they are each placed in their own resource group. For billing purposes, you must enable tag inheritance to ensure that the lab tags flow down from the resource group to the resources.

+You can enable tag inheritance through billing properties or through Azure Policies. The billing properties method is the easiest and fastest to configure. However, it might affect billing reporting for other resources in the same subscription.

+- [Group and allocate costs using tag inheritance](../cost-management-billing/costs/enable-tag-inheritance.md)

+- [Use the "Inherit a tag from the resource group" Azure Policy](../azure-resource-manager/management/tag-policies.md)

+If updated correctly using the billing properties method, you see that Tag Inheritance now shows **Enabled**:

+## Step 2: Apply Tags to DevTest Labs

+DevTest Labs automatically propagates tags applied at the lab level to the resources that are created by the lab. This includes virtual machines (tags are applied to the billable resources) and environments (tags are applied to the resource group for the environment). Follow the steps in this article to apply tags to your labs: [Add tags to a lab](devtest-lab-add-tag.md).

+> [!NOTE]

+> ItΓÇÖs important to remember that tags are propagated for any resources created _after_ the tag has been applied to the lab. If there are _existing resources_ that must be updated with the new tags, there's a script available to propagate the new/updated tags correctly. If you have existing resources and want to apply the lab tags, use the [Update-DevTestLabsTags script located in the DevTest Labs GitHub Repo](https://github.com/Azure/azure-devtestlab/tree/master/samples/DevTestLabs/Scripts/UpdateDtlTags).

+## Step 3: Provide permissions to allow users to view costs

+DevTest Labs users donΓÇÖt automatically have permission to view costs for their resources via Cost Management. There's one more step to [enable users to view billing information](../cost-management-billing/costs/assign-access-acm-data.md#assign-billing-account-scope-access). Assign the _Billing Reader_ permission to users at the subscription level, if they donΓÇÖt already have permissions that include Billing Reader access. More information is found here on managing access to billing information: [Manage access to Azure billing - Microsoft Cost Management.](../cost-management-billing/manage/manage-billing-access.md)

+## Step 4: Use Azure Cost Management for viewing and filtering costs for DevTest Labs

+Now that DevTest Labs is configured to provide the lab-specific information for Cost Management, start here on Cost Management Reporting to view costs: Get started with [Cost Management reporting - Azure - Microsoft Cost Management](../cost-management-billing/costs/reporting-get-started.md). You can visualize the costs in the Azure portal, download cost reporting information, or use Power BI to visualize the costs.

+For a quick view of costs per lab, see the following steps:

+1. Select **Cost Management** and then on **Cost analysis**

+2. Select **Daily Costs**

+3. On the **Custom: Cost Analysis** page, select the **Group By** filter, choose **Tag** and then the Tag Name (like "CostCenter") to group by. Refer to the [documentation on group and filter options in Cost Management](../cost-management-billing/costs/group-filter.md) for more details.

+The resulting view shows costs in the subscription grouped by the tag (which is grouping by the lab & its resources).

+description: This article shows you how to evaluate the resiliency of your ExpressRoute circuit deployment by manually testing the failover of your ExpressRoute circuits.

+# Evaluate the resiliency of multi-site redundant ExpressRoute circuits

+The [guided portal experience](expressroute-howto-circuit-portal-resource-manager.md?pivots=expressroute-preview) assists in the configuration of ExpressRoute circuits for maximum resiliency. The subsequent diagram illustrates the logical architecture of an ExpressRoute circuit designed for maximum resiliency."

+Circuits configured for maximum resiliency provide both site (peering location) redundancy and intra-site redundancy. After deploying multi-site redundant ExpressRoute circuits, it's essential to ensure that on-premises routes are advertised over the redundant circuits to fully utilize the benefits of multi-site redundancy. This article offers a guide on how to manually validate your router advertisements and test the resiliency provided by your multi-site redundant ExpressRoute circuit deployment.

+## Prerequisites

+* Before performing a manual failover of an ExpressRoute circuit, it's imperative that your ExpressRoute circuits are appropriately configured. For more information, see the guide on [Configuring ExpressRoute Circuits](expressroute-howto-circuit-portal-resource-manager.md?pivots=expressroute-preview). It's also crucial to ensure that all on-premises routes are advertised over both redundant circuits in the maximum resiliency ExpressRoute configuration.

+* Verify that identical routes are being advertised over both redundant circuits, navigate to the **Peerings** page of the ExpressRoute circuit within the Azure portal. Select the **Azure private** peering row and then select the **View route table** option at the top of the page.

+ :::image type="content" source=".\media\evaluate-circuit-resiliency\view-route-table.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the view route table button from the ExpressRoute peering page.":::

+ The routes advertised over the ExpressRoute circuit should be identical across both redundant circuits. If the routes aren't identical, we recommend you review the configuration of the on-premises routers and the ExpressRoute circuits.

+ :::image type="content" source=".\media\evaluate-circuit-resiliency\route-table.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the route table for an ExpressRoute private peering.":::

+## Initiate a manual failover for an ExpressRoute circuit

+> [!NOTE]

+> The following procedure outlined will result in the disconnection of both redundant connections of the ExpressRoute circuit. Therefore, it's important that you do this test during scheduled maintenance windows or during off-peak hours. You should also ensure that a redundant circuit is available to provide connectivity to your on-premises network.

+To manually failover an ExpressRoute circuit that is configured with maximum resiliency, follow these steps:

+1. Sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com/).

+1. In the search box, enter **ExpressRoute circuits** and select **ExpressRoute circuits** from the search results.

+1. In the **ExpressRoute circuits** page, identity and select the ExpressRoute circuit for which you intend to disable peering, to facilitate a failover to the second ExpressRoute circuit.

+1. Navigate to the **Overview** page and select the private peering that is to be disabled.

+ :::image type="content" source="./media/evaluate-circuit-resiliency/primary-circuit.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the peering section of an ExpressRoute circuit on the overview page.":::

+1. Deselect the checkbox next to **Enable IPv4 Peering** or **Enable IPv6 Peering** to disconnect the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) peering and then select **Save**. When you disable the peering, Azure disconnects the private peering connection on the first circuit, and the secondary circuit assumes the role of the active connection."

+ :::image type="content" source="./media/evaluate-circuit-resiliency/disable-private-peering-primary.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the private peering settings page for an ExpressRoute circuit.":::

+1. To revert to the first ExpressRoute circuit, select the checkbox next to **Enable IPv4 Peering** or **Enable IPv6 Peering** to reestablish the BGP peering. Then select **Save**.

+1. Proceed to the second ExpressRoute circuit and replicate steps 4 and 5 to disable the peering and facilitate a failover to the first ExpressRoute circuit.

+1. After verifying the successful completion of the failover, it's crucial to re-enable peering for the second ExpressRoute circuit to resume normal operation.

+> You can't reference a table as right table multiple times, which exceeds the limit of 1. If you do so, you would receive an error with code DisallowedMaxNumberOfRemoteTables.

+You have different options and tools for managing how the egress traffic flows from HDInsight on AKS clusters. You can set up some of these at the cluster pool level and others at the cluster level.

+* **Outbound with load balancer.** When you deploy a cluster pool with this Egress path, a public IP address is provisioned and assigned to the load balancer resource. A custom virtual network (VNET) is not required; however, it is highly recommended. You can use Azure Firewall or Network Security Groups (NSGs) on the custom VNET to manage the traffic that leaves the network.

+* **Outbound with User defined routing.** When you deploy a cluster pool with this Egress path, the user can manage the egress traffic at the subnet level using Azure Firewall / NAT Gateway, and custom route tables. This option is only available when using a custom VNET.

+* **Enable Private AKS.** When you enable private AKS on your cluster pool, the AKS API server will be assigned an internal IP address and will not be accessible publicly. The network traffic between the AKS API server and the HDInsight on AKS node pools (clusters) will stay on the private network.

+* **Private ingress cluster.** When you deploy a cluster with the private ingress option enabled, no public IP will be created, and the cluster will only be accessible from clients within the same VNET. You must provide your own NAT solution, such as a NAT gateway or a NAT provided by your firewall, to connect to outbound, public HDInsight on AKS dependencies.

+When clusters are created, certain ingress public IPs also get created.

+When `userDefinedRouting` is enabled, HDInsight on AKS doesn't have the ability to set up egress paths automatically. The user has to do the egress configuration.

+You need to set up the HDInsight on AKS cluster within an existing virtual network that has a pre-set subnet, and you need to create clear egress.

+This design needs to send egress traffic to a network appliance such as a firewall, gateway, or proxy. Then, the public IP attached to the appliance can take care of the Network Address Translation (NAT).

+Unlike Outbound with load balancer cluster pools, HDInsight on AKS does not set up outbound public IP address or outbound rules. Your custom route table (UDR) is the only path for outgoing traffic.

+The path for the inbound traffic is determined by whether you choose to Enable Private AKS on your cluster pool. Then, you can select the private ingress option available on each of the cluster to use public or internal load balancer based traffic.

+When you use HDInsight on AKS cluster pools and choose userDefinedRouting (UDR) as the egress path, there is no standard load balancer provisioned. You need to set up the firewall rules for the Outbound resources before `userDefinedRouting` can function.

+> UDR egress path needs a route for 0.0.0.0/0 and a next hop destination of your Firewall or NVA in the route table. The route table already has a default 0.0.0.0/0 to the Internet. You can't get outbound Internet connectivity by just adding this route, because Azure needs a public IP address for SNAT. AKS checks that you don't create a 0.0.0.0/0 route pointing to the Internet, but to a gateway, NVA, etc. When you use UDR, a load balancer public IP address for inbound requests is only created if you configure a service of type loadbalancer. HDInsight on AKS never creates a public IP address for outbound requests when you use a UDR egress path.

+This guide shows you how to secure the outbound traffic from your HDInsight on AKS service to back-end Azure resources or other network resources with Azure Firewall. This configuration helps protect against data leakage or the threat of malicious program installation.

+Azure Firewall gives you more fine-grained control over outbound traffic and filters it based on up-to-date threat data from Microsoft Cyber Security. You can centrally create, enforce, and log application and network connectivity policies across subscriptions and virtual networks [see Azure Firewall features](/azure/firewall/features).

+Here is an example of how to configure firewall rules, and check your outbound connections.

+> When you deploy a cluster pool with UDR egress path and a private ingress cluster, HDInsight on AKS will automatically create a private DNS zone and map the entries to resolve the FQDN for accessing the cluster.

+> By default, a private DNS zone with a private FQDN and a public DNS zone with a public FQDN are created when you enable private AKS. The agent nodes use the A record in the private DNS zone to find the private IP address of the private endpoint to communicate with the API server. The HDInsight on AKS Resource provider adds the A record to the private DNS zone automatically for private ingress.

+When you create a cluster with HDInsight on AKS, it has a public FQDN and IP address that anyone can access. With the private ingress feature, you can make sure that only your private network can send and receive data between the client and the HDInsight on AKS cluster.

+This feature prevents public internet access to the cluster. The cluster gets an internal load balancer and private IP. HDInsight on AKS uses the private DNS zone that the cluster pool created to connect the cluster Virtual Network and do name resolution.

+Each private cluster contains two FQDNs: public FQDN and private FQDN.

+Public FQDN： `{clusterName}.{clusterPoolName}.{subscriptionId}.{region}.hdinsightaks.net`

+The Public FQDN can only be resolved to a CNAME with subdomain, therefore it must be used with the correct `Private DNS zone setting` to make sure FQDN can be finally solved to correct Private IP address.

+The Private DNS zone should be able to resolve private FQDN to an IP `(privatelink.{clusterPoolName}.{subscriptionId})`.

+The private FQDN will be assigned to clusters with the private ingress enabled only. It is an A-RECORD in the private DNS zone that resolves to the cluster's private IP.

+description: Cluster reliability issue with older images in HDInsight clusters

+# Cluster reliability issue with older images in HDInsight clusters

+**Issue published date**: October 13, 2023

+As part of the proactive reliability management of Azure HDInsight, we recently found a potential reliability issue on HDInsight clusters that use images dated February 2022 or older.

+## Issue background

+In HDInsight images dated before March 2022, a known bug was discovered on one particular Azure Linux build. The Microsoft Azure Linux Agent (`waagent`), a lightweight process that manages virtual machines, was unstable and resulted in VM outages. HDInsight clusters that consumed the Azure Linux build have experienced service outages, job failures, and adverse effects on features like IPsec and autoscale.

+## Required action

+If your cluster was created before March 2022, we advise rebuilding your cluster with the latest HDInsight image. Support for cluster images dated before March 2022 ended on November 10, 2023. These images won't receive security updates, bug fixes, or patches, leaving them highly susceptible to vulnerabilities.

+> [!IMPORTANT]

+> We recommend that you keep your clusters updated to the latest HDInsight version on a regular basis. Using clusters that are based on the latest HDInsight image ensures that they have the latest operating system patches, security patches, bug fixes, and library versions. This practice helps you minimize risk and potential security vulnerabilities.

+### FAQ

+#### What happens if there's a VM outage in HDInsight clusters that use these affected HDInsight images?

+You can't recover such virtual machines through straightforward restarts. The outage could last for several hours and require manual intervention from the Microsoft support team.

+#### Is this issue rectified in the latest HDInsight images?

+Yes. We fixed this issue on HDInsight images dated on or after March 1, 2022. We advise that you move to the latest stable version to maintain the service-level agreement (SLA) and service reliability.

+#### How do I determine the date of the HDInsight image that my clusters are built on?

+The last 10 digits in your HDInsight image version indicate the date and time of the image. For example, an image version of 5.0.3000.1.2208310943 indicates a date of August 31, 2022. [Learn how to verify your HDInsight image version](/azure/hdinsight/view-hindsight-cluster-image-version).

+description: Kafka 2.4.1 validation error in ARM templates Known Issue

+# Kafka 2.4.1 validation error in ARM templates

+**Issue published date**: October 13, 2023

+When you're submitting cluster creation requests by using Azure Resource Manager templates (ARM templates), runbooks, PowerShell, the Azure CLI, and other automation tools, you might receive a "BadRequest" error message if you specify `clusterType = "Kafka"`, `HDI version = "5.0"`, and `Kafka version = "2.4.1"`.

+## Troubleshooting steps

+When you're using [templates or automation tools](/azure/hdinsight/hdinsight-hadoop-provision-linux-clusters#cluster-setup-methods) to create HDInsight Kafka clusters, choose `componentVersion = "2.4"`. This value enables you to successfully create a Kafka 2.4.1 cluster in HDInsight 5.0.

+ For example, your connection string should look similar to `HostName=contoso-hub.azure-devices.net;DeviceId=myEdgeDevice;SharedAccessKey=<DEVICE_SHARED_ACCESS_KEY>`.

+Use the **Deploy to Azure** button or the CLI commands to create your IoT Edge device based on the prebuilt [iotedge-vm-deploy](https://github.com/Azure/iotedge-vm-deploy) template.

+ [](https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.Template/uri/https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Fazure%2Fiotedge-vm-deploy%2Fmain%2FedgeDeploy.json)

+ --template-uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/iotedge-vm-deploy/main/edgeDeploy.json" \

+ --template-uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/iotedge-vm-deploy/main/edgeDeploy.json" `

+Once the deployment is complete, you should receive JSON-formatted output in the CLI that contains the SSH information to connect to the virtual machine. Copy the value of the **public SSH** entry of the **outputs** section. For example, your SSH command should look similar to `ssh azureUser@edge-vm.westus2.cloudapp.azure.com`.

+The module that you deploy in this section simulates a sensor and sends generated data. This module is a useful piece of code when you're getting started with IoT Edge because you can use the simulated data for development and testing. If you want to see exactly what this module does, you can view the [simulated temperature sensor source code](https://github.com/Azure/iotedge/blob/main/edge-modules/SimulatedTemperatureSensor/src/Program.cs).

+ Choose which modules you want to run on your device. You can choose from modules that you've already created, modules from Azure Marketplace, or modules that you've built yourself. In this quickstart, you'll deploy a module from Azure Marketplace.

+1. Under **IoT Edge Modules**, open the **Add** drop-down menu, and then select **Marketplace Module**.

+1. In **IoT Edge Module Marketplace**, search for and select the `Simulated Temperature Sensor` module. The module is added to the IoT Edge Modules section with the desired **running** status.

+1. Select **Next: Routes** to continue to configure routes.

+ A route named *SimulatedTemperatureSensorToIoTHub* was created automatically when you added the module from Azure Marketplace. This route sends all messages from the simulated temperature module to IoT Hub.

+1. Select **Next: Review + create**.

+1. Review the JSON file, and then select **Create**. The JSON file defines all of the modules that you deploy to your IoT Edge device.

+ > [!NOTE]

+ > When you submit a new deployment to an IoT Edge device, nothing is pushed to your device. Instead, the device queries IoT Hub regularly for any new instructions. If the device finds an updated deployment manifest, it uses the information about the new deployment to pull the module images from the cloud then starts running the modules locally. This process can take a few minutes.

+If you have issues deploying modules, see [Troubleshoot IoT Edge devices from the Azure portal](troubleshoot-in-portal.md).

+```bash

+sudo iotedge list

+```

+```bash

+sudo iotedge logs SimulatedTemperatureSensor -f

+### How can I list the Basic Load Balancers to be migrated in my environment?

+One way to get a list of the Basic Load Balancers needing to be migrated in your environment is to use an Azure Resource Graph query. A simple query like this one will list all the Basic Load Balancers you have access to see.

+```kusto

+Resources

+| where type == 'microsoft.network/loadbalancers' and sku.name == 'Basic'

+We have also written a more complex query which assesses the readiness of each Basic Load Balancer for migration on most of the criteria this module checks during [validation](#example-validate-a-scenario).

+### Create a URL-based load test

+You can create a URL-based load test directly from your Azure App Service web app in the Azure portal. When you create the load test, you can select a specific deployment slot and use the prepopulated endpoint URL.

+Get started by [creating a URL-based load test for Azure App Service](./how-to-create-load-test-app-service.md).

+If you previously created a [URL-based test](#create-a-url-based-load-test), Azure Load Testing generates a JMeter test script. You can download this generated test script, modify or extend it, and then reupload the script.

+# Create a load test for Azure App Service web apps

+In this article, you learn how to create a load test for an Azure App Service web app with Azure Load Testing. Directly create a URL-based load test from your app service in the Azure portal, and then use the load testing dashboard to analyze performance issues and identify bottlenecks.

+With the integrated load testing experience in Azure App Service, you can:

+- Create a [URL-based load test](./quickstart-create-and-run-load-test.md) for the app service endpoint or a deployment slot

+- View the test runs associated with the app service

+- Create a load testing resource

+> [!IMPORTANT]

+> This feature is currently supported through Microsoft Developer Community. If you are facing any issues, please report it [here](https://developercommunity.microsoft.com/loadtesting/report).

+## Prerequisites

+- An Azure account with an active subscription. If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a [free account](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/?WT.mc_id=A261C142F) before you begin.

+- An Azure App Service web app. If you need to create a web app, see the [App Service Getting started documentation](/azure/app-service/getting-started).

+## Create a load test for a web app

+You can create a URL-based load test directly from your Azure App Service web app in the Azure portal.

+To create a load test for a web app:

+1. In the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com), go to your Azure App Service web app.

+1. On the left pane, select **Load Testing (Preview)** under the **Performance** section.

+ On this page, you can see the list of tests and the load test runs for this web app.

+

+1. Optionally, select **Create load testing resource** if you don't have a load testing resource yet.

+1. Select **Create test** to start creating a URL-based load test for the web app.

+1. On the **Create test** page, first enter the test details:

+ |Field |Description |

+ |-|-|

+ | **Load Testing Resource** | Select your load testing resource. |

+ | **Test name** | Enter a unique test name. |

+ | **Test description** | (Optional) Enter a load test description. |

+ | **Run test after creation** | When selected, the load test starts automatically after creating the test. |

+1. If you have multiple deployment slots for the web app, select the **Slot** against which to run the load test.

+ :::image type="content" source="./media/how-to-create-load-test-app-service/app-service-create-test-resource-configuration.png" lightbox="./media/how-to-create-load-test-app-service/app-service-create-test-resource-configuration.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows the resource configuration page for creating a test in App Service.":::

+1. Select **Add request** to add HTTP requests to the load test:

+ On the **Add request** page, enter the details for the request:

+ |Field |Description |

+ |-|-|

+ | **Request name** | Unique name within the load test to identify the request. You can use this request name when [defining test criteria](./how-to-define-test-criteria.md). |

+ | **URL** | Select the base URL for the web endpoint |

+ | **Path** | (Optional) Enter a URL path name within the web endpoint. The path is appended to the URL to form the endpoint that is load tested. |

+ | **HTTP method** | Select an HTTP method from the list. Azure Load Testing supports GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, HEAD, and OPTIONS. |

+ | **Query parameters** | (Optional) Enter query string parameters to append to the URL. |

+ | **Headers** | (Optional) Enter HTTP headers to include in the HTTP request. |

+ | **Body** | (Optional) Depending on the HTTP method, you can specify the HTTP body content. Azure Load Testing supports the following formats: raw data, JSON view, JavaScript, HTML, and XML. |

+ Learn more about [adding HTTP requests to a load test](./how-to-add-requests-to-url-based-test.md).

+1. Select the **Load configuration** tab to configure the load parameters for the load test.

+ |Field |Description |

+ |-|-|

+ | **Engine instances** | Enter the number of load test engine instances. The load test runs in parallel across all the engine instances. |

+ | **Load pattern** | Select the load pattern (linear, step, spike) for ramping up to the target number of virtual users. |

+ | **Concurrent users per engine** | Enter the number of *virtual users* to simulate on each of the test engines. The total number of virtual users for the load test is: #test engines * #users per engine. |

+ | **Test duration (minutes)** | Enter the duration of the load test in minutes. |

+ | **Ramp-up time (minutes)** | Enter the ramp-up time of the load test in minutes. The ramp-up time is the time it takes to reach the target number of virtual users. |

+When teams collaborate on Azure Machine Learning, they might face varying requirements to the configuration and organization of resources. Machine learning teams might look for flexibility in how to organize workspaces for collaboration, or size compute clusters to the requirements of their use cases. In these scenarios, it might lead to most productivity if the application team can manage their own infrastructure.

+The following table lists the built-in policies you can assign with Azure Machine Learning. For a list of all Azure built-in policies, see [Built-in policies](../governance/policy/samples/built-in-policies.md).

+### Compute instances should have idle shutdown

+Controls whether an Azure Machine Learning compute instance should have idle shutdown enabled. Idle shutdown automatically stops the compute instance when it's idle for a specified period of time. This policy is useful for cost savings and to ensure that resources aren't being used unnecessarily.

+To configure this policy, set the effect parameter to __Audit__, __Deny__, or __Disabled__. If set to __Audit__, you can create a compute instance without idle shutdown enabled and a warning event is created in the activity log.

+### Compute instances should be recreated to get software updates

+Controls whether Azure Machine Learning compute instances should be audited to make sure they are running the latest available software updates. This policy is useful to ensure that compute instances are running the latest software updates to maintain security and performance. For more information, see [Vulnerability management for Azure Machine Learning](concept-vulnerability-management.md#compute-instance).

+To configure this policy, set the effect parameter to __Audit__ or __Disabled__. If set to __Audit__, a warning event is created in the activity log when a compute isn't running the latest software updates.

+### Compute cluster and instance should be in a virtual network

+Controls auditing of compute cluster and instance resources behind a virtual network.

+To configure this policy, set the effect parameter to __Audit__ or __Disabled__. If set to __Audit__, you can create a compute that isn't configured behind a virtual network and a warning event is created in the activity log.

+### Computes should have local authentication methods disabled.

+Controls whether an Azure Machine Learning compute cluster or instance should disable local authentication (SSH).

+To configure this policy, set the effect parameter to __Audit__, __Deny__, or __Disabled__. If set to __Audit__, you can create a compute with SSH enabled and a warning event is created in the activity log.

+If the policy is set to __Deny__, then you can't create a compute unless SSH is disabled. Attempting to create a compute with SSH enabled results in an error. The error is also logged in the activity log. The policy identifier is returned as part of this error.

+### Workspaces should be encrypted with customer-managed key

+To configure this policy, set the effect parameter to __Audit__ or __Deny__. If set to __Audit__, you can create a workspace without a customer-managed key and a warning event is created in the activity log.

+If the policy is set to __Deny__, then you can't create a workspace unless it specifies a customer-managed key. Attempting to create a workspace without a customer-managed key results in an error similar to `Resource 'clustername' was disallowed by policy` and creates an error in the activity log. The policy identifier is also returned as part of this error.

+### Workspaces should disable public network access

+Controls whether a workspace should disable network access from the public internet.

+To configure this policy, set the effect parameter to __Audit__, __Deny__, or __Disabled__. If set to __Audit__, you can create a workspace with public access and a warning event is created in the activity log.

+If the policy is set to __Deny__, then you can't create a workspace that allows network access from the public internet.

+### Workspaces should enable V1LegacyMode to support network isolation backward compatibility

+Controls whether a workspace should enable V1LegacyMode to support network isolation backward compatibility. This policy is useful if you want to keep Azure Machine Learning control plane data inside your private networks. For more information, see [Network isolation change with our new API platform](how-to-configure-network-isolation-with-v2.md).

+To configure this policy, set the effect parameter to __Audit__ or __Deny__, or __Disabled__ . If set to __Audit__, you can create a workspace without enabling V1LegacyMode and a warning event is created in the activity log.

+If the policy is set to __Deny__, then you can't create a workspace unless it enables V1LegacyMode.

+### Workspace should use private link

+Controls whether a workspace should use Azure Private Link to communicate with Azure Virtual Network. For more information on using private link, see [Configure private link for a workspace](how-to-configure-private-link.md).

+To configure this policy, set the effect parameter to __Audit__ or __Deny__. If set to __Audit__, you can create a workspace without using private link and a warning event is created in the activity log.

+If the policy is set to __Deny__, then you can't create a workspace unless it uses a private link. Attempting to create a workspace without a private link results in an error. The error is also logged in the activity log. The policy identifier is returned as part of this error.

+To configure this policy, set the effect parameter to __Audit__, __Deny__, or __Disabled__. If set to __Audit__, you can create a workspace without specifying a user-assigned managed identity. A system-assigned identity is used and a warning event is created in the activity log.

+If the policy is set to __Deny__, then you can't create a workspace unless you provide a user-assigned identity during the creation process. Attempting to create a workspace without providing a user-assigned identity results in an error. The error is also logged to the activity log. The policy identifier is returned as part of this error.

+### Configure computes to Modify/disable local authentication

+Modifies any Azure Machine Learning compute cluster or instance creation request to disable local authentication (SSH).

+To configure this policy, set the effect parameter to __Modify__ or __Disabled__. If set __Modify__, any creation of a compute cluster or instance within the scope where the policy applies will automatically have local authentication disabled.

+### Configure workspaces to use private DNS zones

+Configures a workspace to use a private DNS zone, overriding the default DNS resolution for a private endpoint.

+To configure this policy, set the effect parameter to __DeployIfNotExists__. Set the __privateDnsZoneId__ to the Azure Resource Manager ID of the private DNS zone to use.

+### Configure workspaces to disable public network access

+Configures a workspace to disable network access from the public internet. This helps protect thee workspaces against data leakage risks. You can instead access your workspace by creating private endpoints. For more information, see [Configure private link for a workspace](how-to-configure-private-link.md).

+To configure this policy, set the effect parameter to __Modify__ or __Disabled__. If set to __Modify__, any creation of a workspace within the scope where the policy applies will automatically have public network access disabled.

+### Configure workspaces with private endpoints

+Configures a workspace to create a private endpoint within the specified subnet of an Azure Virtual Network.

+To configure this policy, set the effect parameter to __DeployIfNotExists__. Set the __privateEndpointSubnetID__ to the Azure Resource Manager ID of the subnet.

+### Configure diagnostic workspaces to send logs to log analytics workspaces

+Configures the diagnostic settings for an Azure Machine Learning workspace to send logs to a Log Analytics workspace.

+To configure this policy, set the effect parameter to __DeployIfNotExists__ or __Disabled__. If set to __DeployIfNotExists__, the policy creates a diagnostic setting to send logs to a Log Analytics workspace if it doesn't already exist.

+### Resource logs in workspaces should be enabled

+Audits whether resource logs are enabled for an Azure Machine Learning workspace. Resource logs provide detailed information about operations performed on resources in the workspace.

+To configure this policy, set the effect parameter to __AuditIfNotExists__ or __Disabled__. If set to __AuditIfNotExists__, the policy audits if resource logs aren't enabled for the workspace.

+ Title: How to use workspace diagnostics

+From the [Azure Machine Learning studio](https://ml.azure.com), you can run diagnostics on your workspace to check your setup. To run diagnostics, select the '__?__' icon in the upper right corner of the page. Then select __Run workspace diagnostics__.

+The following snippet demonstrates how to use workspace diagnostics from Python.

+1. **ssl**. Connect using SSL. This property doesn't need a value associated with it. The mere presence of it specifies an SSL connection. However, for compatibility with future versions, the value "true" is preferred. In this mode, when establishing an SSL connection the client driver validates the server's identity preventing "man in the middle" attacks. It does this by checking that the server certificate is signed by a trusted authority, and that the host you're connecting to is the same as the hostname in the certificate.

+3. **sslcert**, **sslkey, and **sslrootcert**. These parameters can override default location of the client certificate, the PKCS-8 client key and root certificate. These defaults to /defaultdir/postgresql.crt, /defaultdir/postgresql.pk8, and /defaultdir/root.crt respectively where defaultdir is ${user.home}/.postgresql/ in *nix systems and %appdata%/postgresql/ on windows.

+**Certificate Authorities (CAs)** are the institutions responsible for issuing certificates. A trusted certificate authority is an entity thatΓÇÖs entitled to verify someone is who they say they are. In order for this model to work, all participants must agree on a set of trusted CAs. All operating systems and most web browsers ship with a set of trusted CAs.

+> Using verify-ca and verify-full **sslmode** configuration settings can also be known as **[certificate pinning](../../security/fundamentals/certificate-pinning.md#how-to-address-certificate-pinning-in-your-application)**. In this case root CA certificates on the PostgreSQL server have to match certificate signature and even host name against certificate on the client. Important to remember, you might periodically need to update client stored certificates when Certificate Authorities change or expire on PostgreSQL server certificates.

+> [!NOTE]

+> For clients that use **verify-ca** and **verify-full** sslmode configuration settings, i.e. certificate pinning, they have to accept **both** [DigiCert Global Root G2](https://www.digicert.com/kb/digicert-root-certificates.htm) and [Microsoft RSA Root Certificate Authority 2017](https://www.microsoft.com/pkiops/docs/repository.htm) root CA certificates, as services are migrating from Digicert to Microsoft CA.

+### Importing Root Certificates in Java Key Store on the client for certificate pinning scenarios

+Custom-written Java applications use a default keystore, called *cacerts*, which contains trusted certificate authority (CA) certificates. It's also often known as Java trust store. A certificates file named *cacerts* resides in the security properties directory, java.home\lib\security, where java.home is the runtime environment directory (the jre directory in the SDK or the top-level directory of the JavaΓäó 2 Runtime Environment).

+You can use following directions to update client root CA certificates for client certificate pinning scenarios with PostgreSQL Flexible Server:

+1. Make a backup copy of your custom keystore.

+2. Download Microsoft RSA Root Certificate Authority 2017 and DigiCert Global Root G2 certificates from following URIs:

+For Microsoft RSA Root Certificate Authority 2017 https://www.microsoft.com/pkiops/certs/Microsoft%20RSA%20Root%20Certificate%20Authority%202017.crt.

+For DigiCert Global Root G2 https://cacerts.digicert.com/DigiCertGlobalRootG2.crt.pem.

+3. Optionally, to prevent future disruption, it's also recommended to add the following roots to the trusted store:

+ Microsoft ECC Root Certificate Authority 2017 - https://www.microsoft.com/pkiops/certs/Microsoft%20ECC%20Root%20Certificate%20Authority%202017.crt

+4. Generate a combined CA certificate store with both Microsoft RSA Root Certificate Authority 2017 and DigiCertGlobalRootG2 certificates are included. Example below shows using DefaultJavaSSLFactory for PostgreSQL JDBC users

+ ```powershell

+

+

+ keytool -importcert -alias PostgreSQLServerCACert -file D:\ DigiCertGlobalRootG2.crt.pem -keystore truststore -storepass password -noprompt

+keytool -importcert -alias PostgreSQLServerCACert2 -file "D:\ Microsoft ECC Root Certificate Authority 2017.crt.pem" -keystore truststore -storepass password -noprompt

+```

+ 5. Replace the original keystore file with the new generated one:

+

+```java

+System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore","path_to_truststore_file");

+System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword","password");

+```

+6. Replace the original root CA pem file with the combined root CA file and restart your application/client.

+As of this time Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server supports many cipher suites with TLS 1.2 protocol version that fall into [HIGH:!aNULL](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/runtime-config-connection.html#GUC-SSL-CIPHERS) category.

+description: Azure Storage Extension in Azure Database for PostgreSQL - Flexible Server.

+# Azure Database for PostgreSQL - Flexible Server Azure Storage Extension

+A common use case for our customers today is need to be able to import/export between Azure Blob Storage and an Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server instance. To simplify this use case, we introduced new **Azure Storage Extension** (azure_storage) in Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server.

+## Disable zone-redundancy

+To disable zone-redundancy, you can use the portal or ARM API. For Hyperscale service tier, you can simply reverse the steps documented in [Redeployment (Hyperscale)](#redeployment-hyperscale).

+**To disable zone-redundancy with Azure portal:**

+1. Go to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com) to find and select the elastic pool that you want to migrate.

+1. Select **Settings**, and then select **Configure**.

+1. Select **No** for **Would you like to make this elastic pool zone redundant?**.

+1. Select **Save**.

+**To disable zone-redundancy with ARM,** see [Databases - Create Or Update in ARM](/rest/api/sql/2022-05-01-preview/databases/create-or-update?tabs=HTTP) and use the `properties.zoneRedundant` property.

+It's important to provide a reasonably low network latency between the SAP application tier and the DBMS tier. In most situations a zonal deployment alone fulfills this requirement. For a limited set of scenarios, a zonal deployment alone might not meet the application latency requirements. Such situations require VM placement as close as possible and enable reasonably low network latency, an Azure proximity placement group can be defined for such an SAP system.

+## Where can you find specific indexer errors?

+To verify an indexer status and identify errors in the Azure portal, follow the steps below:

+1. Navigate to the Azure portal and locate your AI Search service.

+1. Once you're in the AI Search service, click on the 'Indexers' tab.

+1. From the list of indexers, identify the specific indexer you wish to verify.

+1. Under the 'Execution History' column, click on the 'Status' hyperlink associated with the selected indexer.

+1. If there's an error, hover over the error message. A pane will appear on the right side of your screen displaying detailed information about the error.

+## Transient errors

+For various reasons, such as transient network communication interruptions, timeouts from long-running processes, or specific document nuances, it's common to encounter transient errors or warnings during indexer runs. However, these errors are temporary and should be resolved in subsequent indexer runs.

+To manage these errors effectively, it is recommended [putting your indexer on a schedule](search-howto-schedule-indexers.md), for instance, to run every five minutes. This means the next run will commence five minutes after the completion of the first run, adhering to the [maximum runtime limit](search-limits-quotas-capacity.md#indexer-limits). Regularly scheduled runs help to rectify any transient errors or warnings swiftly.

+If you notice an error persisting over multiple indexer runs, it's likely not a transient issue. In such cases, refer to the list below for potential solutions. Please note, always ensure your indexing schedule aligns with the limitations outlined in our indexer limits guide.

+## Error properties

+## Best practices

+The following are some best practices you need to consider when utilizing this skill:

+- If you are hitting your Azure OpenAI TPM (Tokens per minute) limit, consider the [quota limits advisory](../ai-services/openai/quotas-limits.md) so you can address accordingly. Refer to the [Azure OpenAI monitoring](../ai-services/openai/how-to/monitoring.md) documentation for more information about your Azure OpenAI instance performance.

+- The Azure OpenAI embeddings model deployment you use for this skill should be ideally separate from the deployment used for other use cases, including the [query vectorizer](vector-search-how-to-configure-vectorizer.md). This helps each deployment to be tailored to its specific use case, leading to optimized performance and identifying traffic from the indexer and the index embedding calls easily.

+- Your Azure OpenAI instance should be in the same region or at least geographically close to the region where your AI Search service is hosted. This reduces latency and improves the speed of data transfer between the services.

+- If you have a larger than default Azure OpenAI TPM (Tokens per minute) limit as published in [quotas and limits](../ai-services/openai/quotas-limits.md) documentation, open a [support case](../azure-portal/supportability/how-to-create-azure-support-request.md) with the Azure AI Search team, so this can be adjusted accordingly. This helps your indexing process not being unnecessarily slowed down by the documented default TPM limit, if you have higher limits.

+

+In Azure AI Search a *vectorizer* is software that performs vectorization, such as a deployed embedding model on Azure OpenAI, that converts text to vectors during query execution.

+It's defined in a [search index](search-what-is-an-index.md), it applies to searchable vector fields, and it's used at query time to generate an embedding for a text query input. If instead you need to vectorize text as part of the indexing process, refer to [Integrated Vectorization (Preview)](vector-search-integrated-vectorization.md). For built-in vectorization during indexing, you can configure an indexer and skillset that calls an Azure OpenAI embedding model for your raw text content.

+To add a vectorizer to search index, you can use the index designer in Azure portal, or call the [Create or Update Index 2023-10-01-preview](/rest/api/searchservice/indexes/create-or-update?view=rest-searchservice-2023-10-01-preview&preserve-view=true) REST API, or use any Azure beta SDK package that's updated to provide this feature.

+We recommend that you enable diagnostic logging on your search service to confirm vector query execution.

+## Try a vectorizer with sample data

+The [Import and vectorize data wizard](search-get-started-portal-import-vectors.md) reads files from Azure Blob storage, creates an index with chunked and vectorized fields, and adds a vectorizer. By design, the vectorizer that's created by the wizard is set to the same embedding model used to index the blob content.

+1. [Upload sample data files](/azure/storage/blobs/storage-quickstart-blobs-portal) to a container on Azure Storage. We used some [small text files from NASA's earth book](https://github.com/Azure-Samples/azure-search-sample-data/tree/main/nasa-e-book/earth-txt-10) to test these instructions on a free search service.

+

+1. Run the [Import and vectorize data wizard](search-get-started-portal-import-vectors.md), choosing the blob container for the data source.

+ :::image type="content" source="media/vector-search-how-to-configure-vectorizer/connect-to-data.png" lightbox="media/vector-search-how-to-configure-vectorizer/connect-to-data.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the connect to your data page.":::

+1. Choose an existing deployment of **text-embedding-ada-002**. This model generates embeddings during indexing and is also used to configure the vectorizer used during queries.

+ :::image type="content" source="media/vector-search-how-to-configure-vectorizer/vectorize-enrich-data.png" lightbox="media/vector-search-how-to-configure-vectorizer/vectorize-enrich-data.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the vectorize and enrich data page.":::

+1. After the wizard is finished and all indexer processing is complete, you should have an index with a searchable vector field. The field's JSON definition looks like this:

+ ```json

+ {

+ "name": "vector",

+ "type": "Collection(Edm.Single)",

+ "searchable": true,

+ "retrievable": true,

+ "dimensions": 1536,

+ "vectorSearchProfile": "vector-nasa-ebook-text-profile"

+ }

+ ```

+1. You should also have a vector profile and a vectorizer, similar to the following example:

+ ```json

+ "profiles": [

+ {

+ "name": "vector-nasa-ebook-text-profile",

+ "algorithm": "vector-nasa-ebook-text-algorithm",

+ "vectorizer": "vector-nasa-ebook-text-vectorizer"

+ }

+ ],

+ "vectorizers": [

+ {

+ "name": "vector-nasa-ebook-text-vectorizer",

+ "kind": "azureOpenAI",

+ "azureOpenAIParameters": {

+ "resourceUri": "https://my-fake-azure-openai-resource.openai.azure.com",

+ "deploymentId": "text-embedding-ada-002",

+ "apiKey": "0000000000000000000000000000000000000",

+ "authIdentity": null

+ },

+ "customWebApiParameters": null

+ }

+ ]

+ ```

+1. Skip ahead to [test your vectorizer](#test-a-vectorizer) for text-to-vector conversion during query execution.

+## Define a vectorizer and vector profile

+This section explains the modifications to an index schema for defining a vectorizer manually.

+1. Use [Create or Update Index (preview)](/rest/api/searchservice/indexes/create-or-update?view=rest-searchservice-2023-10-01-preview&preserve-view=true) to add `vectorizers` to a search index.

+1. Add the following JSON to your index definition. The vectorizers section provides connection information to a deployed embedding model. This step shows two vectorizer examples so that you can compare an Azure OpenAI embedding model and a custom web API side by side.

+ "name": "my_azure_open_ai_vectorizer",

+1. In the same index, add a vector profiles section that specifies one of your vectorizers. Vector profiles also require a [vector search algorithm](vector-search-ranking.md) used to create navigation structures.

+ "name":ΓÇ»"my_vector_profile",

+ "vectorizer":"my_azure_open_ai_vectorizer"

+1. Assign a vector profile to a vector field. The following example shows a fields collection with the required key field, a title string field, and two vector fields with a vector profile assignment.

+             "name": "vector",

+             "vectorSearchProfile": "my_vector_profile",

+             "retrievable": true

+             "name": "my-second-vector",

+             "vectorSearchProfile": "my_vector_profile",

+             "retrievable": true

+ }

+Use a search client to send a query through a vectorizer. This example assumes Visual Studio Code with a REST client and a [sample index](#try-a-vectorizer-with-sample-data).

+1. In Visual Studio Code, provide a search endpoint and [search query API key](search-security-api-keys.md#find-existing-keys):

+ ```http

+ @baseUrl:

+ @queryApiKey: 00000000000000000000000

+ ```

+1. Paste in a [vector query request](vector-search-how-to-query.md). Be sure to use a preview REST API version.

+ ```http

+ ### Run a query

+ POST {{baseUrl}}/indexes/vector-nasa-ebook-txt/docs/search?api-version=2023-10-01-preview HTTP/1.1

+ Content-Type: application/json

+ api-key: {{queryApiKey}}

+

+ {

+ "count": true,

+ "select": "title,chunk",

+ "vectorQueries": [

+ {

+ "kind": "text",

+ "text": "what cloud formations exists in the troposphere",

+ "fields": "vector",

+ "k": 3,

+ "exhaustive": true

+ }

+ ]

+ }

+ ```

+ Key points about the query include:

+ + `"kind": "text"` tells the search engine that the input is a text string, and to use the vectorizer associated with the search field.

+ + `"text": "what cloud formations exists in the troposphere"` is the text string to vectorize.

+ + `"fields": "vector"` is the name of the field to query over. If you use the sample index produced by the wizard, the generated vector field is named `vector`.

+1. Send the request. You should get three `k` results, where the first result is the most relevant.

+Notice that there are no vectorizer properties to set at query time. The query reads the vectorizer properties, as per the vector profile field assignment in the index.

+## Check logs

+If you enabled diagnostic logging for your search service, run a Kusto query to confirm query execution on your vector field:

+```kusto

+OperationEvent

+| where TIMESTAMP > ago(30m)

+| where Name == "Query.Search" and AdditionalInfo["QueryMetadata"]["Vectors"] has "TextLength"

+```

+## Best practices

+If you are setting up an Azure OpenAI vectorizer, consider the same [best practices](cognitive-search-skill-azure-openai-embedding.md#best-practices) that we recommend for the Azure OpenAI embedding skill.

+1. [Add a vectorizer](vector-search-how-to-configure-vectorizer.md#define-a-vectorizer-and-vector-profile) to an index. It should be the same embedding model used to generate vectors in the index.

+1. [Assign the vectorizer](vector-search-how-to-configure-vectorizer.md#define-a-vectorizer-and-vector-profile) to a vector profile, and then assign a vector profile to the vector field.

+1. [Formulate a vector query](vector-search-how-to-configure-vectorizer.md#test-a-vectorizer) that specifies the text string to vectorize.

+By default, Azure Spring Apps prints the *info* level logs of the AppDynamics Agent to `STDOUT`. The logs are mixed with the application logs. You can find the explicit agent version from the application logs.

+The AppDynamics Agent is upgraded regularly with JDK (quarterly). Agent upgrade might affect the following scenarios:

+- Existing applications using AppDynamics Agent before upgrade are unchanged, but require restart or redeploy to engage the new version of AppDynamics Agent.

+- Applications created after upgrade use the new version of AppDynamics Agent.

+For virtual network injection instances of Azure Spring Apps, make sure the outbound traffic is configured correctly for AppDynamics Agent. For details, see [Cisco AppDynamics SaaS Domains and IP Ranges](https://docs.appdynamics.com/pa?toc=/azure/spring-apps/basic-standard/toc.json&bc=/azure/spring-apps/basic-standard/breadcrumb/toc.json).

+* **Provisioning state**: Shows the deployment's provisioning state.

+* **Registration status**: Shows how many app instances are registered in service discovery and how many app instances you desire. If you stop the app, this column shows **stopped**.

+### Deployment status

+### Provisioning status

+The deployment provisioning status describes the state of operations of the deployment resource. This status shows the comparison between the functionality and the deployment definition.

+The provisioning state is accessible only from the CLI. The status is reported as one of the following values:

+| Updating | The resource is updating and the functionality might be different from the deployment definition until the update is complete. |

+### Registration status

+The app registration status shows the state in service discovery. The Basic/Standard plan uses Eureka for service discovery. For more information on how the Eureka client calculates the state, see [Eureka's health checks](https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-static/Greenwich.RELEASE/multi/multi__service_discovery_eureka_clients.html#_eureka_s_health_checks). The Enterprise pricing plan uses [Tanzu Service Registry](how-to-enterprise-service-registry.md) for service discovery.

+The *app instance* status represents every instance of the app. To view the status of a specific instance of a deployed app, select the **App instance** pane and then select the **App Instance Name** value for the app. The following status values appear:

+* **Status**: Indicates whether the instance is starting, running, terminating, or in failed state.

+* **Discovery Status**: The registered status of the app instance in the Eureka server or the Service Registry.

+| Starting | The binary is successfully deployed to the given instance. The instance booting the jar file might fail because the jar can't run properly. Azure Spring Apps restarts the app instance in 60 seconds if it detects that the app instance is still in the *Starting* state. |

+| Failed | The app instance failed to start the user's binary after several retries. The app instance might be in one of the following states:<br/>- The app might stay in the *Starting* status and never be ready for serving requests.<br/>- The app might boot up but crash in a few seconds. |

+| Terminating | The app instance is shutting down. The app might not serve requests and the app instance is removed. |

+Spring Boot Actuator brings production-ready features to your apps. You can effortlessly monitor your app, collect metrics, and understand the status or database activity with this tool. You gain access to professional-grade tools without needing to build them from scratch.

+The actuator exposes vital operational data about your running application, like health status, metrics, information, and more. The actuator uses HTTP endpoints or Java Management Extensions (JMX), making it easy to interact with. After you integrate it, it provides several default endpoints, and like other Spring modules, it's easily configurable and extendable.

+Azure Spring Apps uses the actuator for enriching metrics through JMX. It can also work with Application Live View in the Enterprise plan to help you get and interact with the data from apps.

+## Configure Spring Boot Actuator

+The following sections describe how to configure the actuator.

+### Add actuator dependency

+To add the actuator to a Maven-based project, add the following dependency:

+This configuration works with any Spring Boot version because versions are covered in the Spring Boot Bill of Materials (BOM).

+### Configure actuator endpoint

+By default, a Spring Boot application exposes the `health` endpoint only. To observe the configuration and configurable environment, use the following steps to enable the `env` and `configprops` endpoints as well:

+1. Go to app **Overview** pane, select **Configuration** in the setting menu, and then go to the **Environment variables** configuration page.

+1. Add the following properties as in the "key:value" form. This environment opens the following Spring Actuator endpoints: `health`, `env`, and `configprops`.

+ management.endpoints.web.exposure.include: health,env,configprops

+1. Select **Save**. Your application restarts automatically and loads the new environment variables.

+You can now go back to the app **Overview** pane and wait until the Provisioning Status changes to **Succeeded**.

+To view all the endpoints built-in and related configurations, see the [Exposing Endpoints](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/production-ready-features.html#production-ready-endpoints-exposing-endpoints) section of [Spring Boot Production-ready Features](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/actuator.html).

+### Secure actuator endpoint

+When you open the app to the public, these actuator endpoints are exposed to the public as well. We recommend that you hide all endpoints by setting `management.endpoints.web.exposure.exclude=*`, because the `exclude` property takes precedence over the `include` property. Be aware that this action blocks Application Live View in the Enterprise plan and other apps or tools that rely on the actuator HTTP endpoint.

+In the Enterprise plan, you can disable the public endpoint of apps and configure a routing rule in VMware Spring Cloud Gateway to disable actuator access from the public. For more information, see [Configure VMware Spring Cloud Gateway](./how-to-configure-enterprise-spring-cloud-gateway.md).

+* [Metrics for Azure Spring Apps](./concept-metrics.md)

+* [App status in Azure Spring Apps](./concept-app-status.md)

+Your applications running in Azure Spring Apps might not need to run continuously. For example, an application might not always need to run if it's used only during business hours.

+There might be times where you wish to stop or start an application. You can also restart an application as part of general troubleshooting steps or delete an application you no longer require.

+1. Go to **Settings** and select **Apps**.

+When your application can't start, you might find that its endpoint can't be connected or it returns a 502 after a few retries.

+1. Go to `https://<your-application-test-endpoint>/actuator/health`.

+When you visit the SaaS offer [Azure Spring Apps Enterprise](https://aka.ms/ascmpoffer) in the Azure Marketplace, it might say "No plans are available for market '\<Location>'" as in the following image.

+ Title: Container-level WORM policies for immutable blob data

+description: A container-level write once, read many (WORM) policy is a type of immutability policy that can be set at the container-level.

+# Container-level write once, read many (WORM) policies for immutable blob data

+A container-level write once, read many (WORM) policy is a type of immutability policy that can be set at the container-level. To learn more about immutable storage for Azure Blob Storage, see [Store business-critical blob data with immutable storage in a write once, read many (WORM) state](immutable-storage-overview.md)

+## Availability

+Container-level WORM (CLW) policies are available for all new and existing containers. These policies are supported for general-purpose v2, premium block blob, general-purpose v1 (legacy), and blob storage (legacy) accounts.

+> [!TIP]

+> Microsoft recommends upgrading general-purpose v1 accounts to general-purpose v2 so that you can take advantage of more features. For information on upgrading an existing general-purpose v1 storage account, see [Upgrade a storage account](../common/storage-account-upgrade.md).

+This feature is supported for hierarchical namespace accounts. If hierarchical namespace is enabled, you can't rename or move a blob when the blob is in the immutable state. Both the blob name and the directory structure provide essential container-level data that can't be modified once the immutable policy is in place.

+There's no enablement process for this feature; it's automatically available for all containers. To learn more about how to set a policy on a new or existing container, see [Configure container-level WORM immutability policies](immutable-policy-configure-container-scope.md).

+## Deletion

+A container with a container-level WORM policy set must be empty before the container can be deleted. If there's a policy set on a container with hierarchical namespace enabled, a directory must be empty before it can be deleted.

+¹ Azure Storage permits the [Put Blob](/rest/api/storageservices/put-blob) operation to create a new blob. Subsequent overwrite operations on an existing blob path in an immutable container aren't allowed.

+² The [Append Block](/rest/api/storageservices/append-block) operation is permitted only for policies with the **allowProtectedAppendWrites** or **allowProtectedAppendWrites**All property enabled.

+## Allow protected append blobs writes

+Append blobs are composed of blocks of data and optimized for data append operations required by auditing and logging scenarios. By design, append blobs only allow the addition of new blocks to the end of the blob. Regardless of immutability, modification or deletion of existing blocks in an append blob is fundamentally not allowed. To learn more about append blobs, see [About Append Blobs](/rest/api/storageservices/understanding-block-blobs--append-blobs--and-page-blobs#about-append-blobs).

+The **allowProtectedAppendWrites** property setting allows for writing new blocks to an append blob while maintaining immutability protection and compliance. If this setting is enabled, you can create an append blob directly in the policy-protected container and then continue to add new blocks of data to the end of the append blob with the Append Block operation. Only new blocks can be added; any existing blocks can't be modified or deleted. Enabling this setting doesn't affect the immutability behavior of block blobs or page blobs.

+The **AllowProtectedAppendWritesAll** property setting provides the same permissions as the **allowProtectedAppendWrites** property and adds the ability to write new blocks to a block blob. The Blob Storage API doesn't provide a way for applications to do this directly. However, applications can accomplish this by using append and flush methods that are available in the Data Lake Storage Gen2 API. Also, this property enables Microsoft applications such as Azure Data Factory to append blocks of data by using internal APIs. If your workloads depend on any of these tools, then you can use this property to avoid errors that can appear when those tools attempt to append data to blobs.

+Append blobs remain in the immutable state during the effective retention period. Since new data can be appended beyond the initial creation of the append blob, there's a slight difference in how the retention period is determined. The effective retention is the difference between append blob's last modification time and the user-specified retention interval. Similarly, when the retention interval is extended, immutable storage uses the most recent value of the user-specified retention interval to calculate the effective retention period.

+For example, suppose that a user creates a time-based retention policy with the **allowProtectedAppendWrites** property enabled and a retention interval of 90 days. An append blob, logblob1, is created in the container today, new logs continue to be added to the append blob for the next 10 days, so that the effective retention period for logblob1 is 100 days from today (the time of its last append + 90 days).

+Unlocked time-based retention policies allow the **allowProtectedAppendWrites** and the **AllowProtectedAppendWritesAll** property settings to be enabled and disabled at any time. Once the time-based retention policy is locked, the **allowProtectedAppendWrites** and the **AllowProtectedAppendWritesAll** property settings can't be changed.

+## Limits

+description: Azure Storage offers WORM (Write Once, Read Many) support for Blob Storage that enables users to store data in a nonerasable, nonmodifiable state. Time-based retention policies store blob data in a WORM state for a specified interval, while legal holds remain in effect until explicitly cleared.

+# Store business-critical blob data with immutable storage in a write once, read many (WORM) state

+Immutable storage for Azure Blob Storage enables users to store business-critical data in a WORM (Write Once, Read Many) state. While in a WORM state, data can't be modified or deleted for a user-specified interval. By configuring immutability policies for blob data, you can protect your data from overwrites and deletes.

+- **Time-based retention policies**: With a time-based retention policy, users can set policies to store data for a specified interval. When a time-based retention policy is set, objects can be created and read, but not modified or deleted. After the retention period has expired, objects can be deleted but not overwritten.

+- **Legal hold policies**: A legal hold stores immutable data until the legal hold is explicitly cleared. When a legal hold is set, objects can be created and read, but not modified or deleted.

+These policies can be set at the same time as one another. For example, a user can have both a time-based retention policy and a legal hold set at the same level and at the same time. In order for a write to succeed, you must either have versioning enabled or have neither a legal hold or time-based retention policy on the data. In order for a delete to succeed, there must not be a legal hold or time-based retention policy on the data as well.

+There are two features under the immutable storage umbrella: _container-level WORM_ and _version-level WORM_. Container-level WORM allows policies to be set at the container level only, while version-level WORM allows policies to be set at the account, container, or version level.

+Immutable storage helps healthcare organizations, financial institutions, and related industries&mdash;particularly broker-dealer organizations&mdash;to store data securely. Immutable storage can be used in any scenario to protect critical data against modification or deletion.

+- **Legal hold**: Immutable storage for blobs enables users to store sensitive information that is critical to litigation or business use in a tamper-proof state for the desired duration until the hold is removed. This feature isn't limited only to legal use cases but can also be thought of as an event-based hold or an enterprise lock, where the need to protect data based on event triggers or corporate policy is required.

+## Time-based retention policies

+A time-based retention policy stores blob data in a WORM format for a specified interval. When a time-based retention policy is set, clients can create and read blobs, but can't modify or delete them. After the retention interval has expired, blobs can be deleted but not overwritten.

+### Scope

+A time-based retention policy can be configured at the following scopes:

+- Version-level WORM policy: A time-based retention policy can be configured at the account, container, or version level. If it's configured at the account or container level, it will be inherited by all blobs in the respective account or container.

+- Container-level WORM policy: A time-based retention policy configured at the container level applies to all blobs in that container. Individual blobs can't be configured with their own immutability policies.

+### Retention interval for a time-based policy

+The minimum retention interval for a time-based retention policy is one day, and the maximum is 146,000 days (400 years).

+When you configure a time-based retention policy, the affected objects stay in the immutable state during the effective retention period. The effective retention period for objects is equal to the difference between the blob's creation time and the user-specified retention interval. Because a policy's retention interval can be extended, immutable storage uses the most recent value of the user-specified retention interval to calculate the effective retention period.

+For example, suppose that a user creates a time-based retention policy with a retention interval of five years. An existing blob in that container, testblob1, was created one year ago, so the effective retention period for testblob1 is four years. When a new blob, testblob2, is uploaded to the container, the effective retention period for testblob2 is five years from the time of its creation.

+### Locked versus unlocked policies

+When you first configure a time-based retention policy, the policy is unlocked for testing purposes. When you finish testing, you can lock the policy so that it's fully compliant with SEC 17a-4(f) and other regulatory compliance.

+Both locked and unlocked policies protect against deletes and overwrites. However, you can modify an unlocked policy by shortening or extending the retention period. You can also delete an unlocked policy.

+You can't delete a locked time-based retention policy. You can extend the retention period, but you can't decrease it. A maximum of five increases to the effective retention period is allowed over the lifetime of a locked policy that is defined at the container level. For a policy configured for a blob version, there's no limit to the number of increases to the effective period.

+> [!IMPORTANT]

+> A time-based retention policy must be locked for the blob to be in a compliant immutable (write and delete protected) state for SEC 17a-4(f) and other regulatory compliance. Microsoft recommends that you lock the policy in a reasonable amount of time, typically less than 24 hours. While the unlocked state provides immutability protection, using the unlocked state for any purpose other than short-term testing is not recommended.

+### Retention policy audit logging

+Each container with a time-based retention policy enabled provides a policy audit log. The audit log includes up to seven time-based retention commands for locked time-based retention policies. Log entries include the user ID, command type, time stamps, and retention interval. The audit log is retained for the policy's lifetime in accordance with the SEC 17a-4(f) regulatory guidelines.

+The Azure Activity log provides a more comprehensive log of all management service activities. Azure resource logs retain information about data operations. It's the user's responsibility to store those logs persistently, as might be required for regulatory or other purposes.

+Changes to time-based retention policies at the version level aren't audited.

+## Legal holds

+A legal hold is a temporary immutability policy that can be applied for legal investigation purposes or general protection policies. A legal hold stores blob data in a Write-Once, Read-Many (WORM) format until the hold is explicitly cleared. When a legal hold is in effect, blobs can be created and read, but not modified or deleted. Use a legal hold when the period of time that the data must be kept in a WORM state is unknown.

+### Scope

+A legal hold policy can be configured at either of the following scopes:

+- Version-level WORM policy: A legal hold can be configured on an individual blob version level for granular management of sensitive data.

+- Container-level WORM policy: A legal hold that is configured at the container level applies to all blobs in that container. Individual blobs can't be configured with their own immutability policies.

+### Tags

+A container-level legal hold must be associated with one or more user-defined alphanumeric tags that serve as identifier strings. For example, a tag may include a case ID or event name.

+### Audit logging

+Each container with a legal hold in effect provides a policy audit log. The log contains the user ID, command type, time stamps, and legal hold tags. The audit log is retained for the policy's lifetime in accordance with the SEC 17a-4(f) regulatory guidelines.

+The Azure Activity log provides a more comprehensive log of all management service activities. Azure resource logs retain information about data operations. It's the user's responsibility to store those logs persistently, as might be required for regulatory or other purposes.

+Changes to legal holds at the version level aren't audited.

+## Immutable storage feature options

+The following table shows a breakdown of the differences between container-level WORM and version-level WORM:

+| Category | Container-level WORM | Version-level WORM |

+|-|--|--|

+| Policy granularity level | Policies can be configured only at the container level. Each object that is uploaded into the container inherits the immutable policy set. | Policies can be configured at the account, container, or blob level. If a policy is set at the account level, all blobs that are uploaded into that account inherits the policy. The same logic follows with containers. If a policy is set at multiple levels, the order of precedence is always Blob -> Container -> Account. |

+| Types of policies available |Two different types of policies can be set at the container level: Time-based retention policies and legal holds.| At the account and container level, only time-based retention policies can be set. At the blob level, both time-based retention policies and legal holds can be set.|

+| Feature dependencies | No other features are a prerequisite or requirement for this feature to function. | Versioning is a prerequisite for this feature to be used. |

+| Enablement for existing accounts/container | This feature can be enabled at any time for existing containers. | Depending on the level of granularity, this feature might not be enabled for all existing accounts/containers. |

+| Account/container deletion | Once a time-based retention policy is locked on a container, containers may only be deleted if they're empty. | Once version-level WORM is enabled on an account or container level, they may only be deleted if they're empty.|

+| Support for Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 (storage accounts that have a hierarchical namespace enabled)| Container-level WORM policies are supported in accounts that have a hierarchical namespace. | Version-level WORM policies are not yet supported in accounts that have a hierarchical namespace. |

+To learn more about container-level WORM, see [Container-Level WORM policies](immutable-container-level-worm-policies.md). To learn more about version-level WORM, please visit [version-Level WORM policies](immutable-version-level-worm-policies.md).

+## Container-level vs version-level WORM

+The following table helps you decide which type of WORM policy to use.

+| Criteria | Container-level WORM Usage | Version-level WORM Usage |

+||||

+| Organization of data | You want to set policies for specific data sets, which can be categorized by container. All the data in that container needs to be kept in a WORM state for the same amount of time. | You can't group objects by retention periods. All blobs must be stored with an individual retention time based on that blobΓÇÖs scenarios, or user has a mixed workload so that some groups of data can be clustered into containers while other blobs can't. You might also want to set container-level policies and blob-level policies within the same account. |

+| Amount of data that requires an immutable policy | You don't need to set policies on more than 10,000 containers per account. | You want to set policies on all data or large amounts of data that can be delineated by account. You know that if you use container-level WORM, you'll have to exceed the 10,000-container limit. |

+| Interest in enabling versioning | You don't want to deal with enabling versioning either because of the cost, or because the workload would create numerous extra versions to deal with. | You either want to use versioning, or don't mind using it. You know that if they donΓÇÖt enable versioning, you can't keep edits or overwrites to immutable blobs as separate versions. |

+| Storage location (Blob Storage vs Data Lake Storage Gen2) | Your workload is entirely focused on Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2. You have no immediate interest or plan to switch to using an account that doesn't have the hierarchical namespace feature enabled. | Your workload is either on Blob Storage in an account that doesn't have the hierarchical namespace feature enabled, and can use version-level WORM now, or you're willing to wait for versioning to be available for accounts that do have a hierarchical namespace enabled (Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2).|

+All blob access tiers support immutable storage. You can change the access tier of a blob with the Set Blob Tier operation. For more information, see [Access tiers for blob data](access-tiers-overview.md).

+Microsoft recommends that you configure immutability policies mainly for block blobs and append blobs. Configuring an immutability policy for a page blob that stores a VHD disk for an active virtual machine is discouraged as writes to the disk will be blocked, or if versioning is enabled, each write is stored as a new version. Microsoft recommends that you thoroughly review the documentation and test your scenarios before locking any time-based policies. Microsoft recommends that you thoroughly review the documentation and test your scenarios before locking any time-based policies.

+When blob soft delete is configured for a storage account, it applies to all blobs within the account regardless of whether a legal hold or time-based retention policy is in effect. Microsoft recommends enabling soft delete for extra protection before any immutability policies are applied.

+If you enable blob soft delete and then configure an immutability policy, any blobs that have already been soft deleted are permanently deleted once the soft delete retention policy is expired. Soft-deleted blobs can be restored during the soft delete retention period. A blob or version that hasn't yet been soft deleted is protected by the immutability policy and can't be soft deleted until after the time-based retention policy is expired or the legal hold is removed.

+When you enable blob inventory, Azure Storage generates an inventory report daily. The report provides an overview of your data for business and compliance requirements.

+> You can't configure an inventory policy in an account if support for version-level immutability is enabled on that account, or if support for version-level immutability is enabled on the destination container that is defined in the inventory policy.

+There's no extra capacity charge for using immutable storage. Immutable data is priced in the same way as mutable data. If you're using version-level WORM, the bill might be higher because you've enabled versioning, and there's a cost associated with extra versions being stored. Review the versioning pricing policy for more information. For pricing details on Azure Blob Storage, see the [Azure Storage pricing page](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/storage/blobs/).

+If you fail to pay your bill and your account has an active time-based retention policy in effect, normal data retention policies apply as stipulated in the terms and conditions of your contract with Microsoft. For general information, see [Data management at Microsoft](https://www.microsoft.com/trust-center/privacy/data-management).

+This feature is incompatible with point in time restore and last access tracking.

+Immutability policies aren't supported in accounts that have Network File System (NFS) 3.0 protocol or the SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) enabled on them.

+Some workloads, such as SQL Backup to URL, create a blob and then add to it. If a container has an active time-based retention policy or legal hold in place, this pattern won't succeed. See the Allow protected append blob writes for more detail.

+For more information, see [Blob Storage feature support in Azure Storage accounts](storage-feature-support-in-storage-accounts.md).

+- [Version-level WORM policies for immutable blob data](immutable-version-level-worm-policies.md)

+ Title: Version-level WORM policies for immutable blob data

+description: version-level write once, read many (WORM) policy is a type of immutability policy that can be set at the account, container, or version level.

+# Version-level write once, read many (WORM) policies for immutable blob data

+A version-level write once, read many (WORM) policy is a type of immutability policy that can be set at the account, container, or version level. To learn more about immutable storage for Azure Blob Storage, see [Store business-critical blob data with immutable storage in a write once, read many (WORM) state](immutable-storage-overview.md).

+## Availability

+Version-level immutability (VLW) policies are supported on the account level for new accounts, and at the container and blob level for new and existing accounts/containers. These policies are supported for both general-purpose v2 and premium block blob accounts. This feature isn't supported on hierarchical namespace accounts.

+## Version dependency

+Version-level policies require that [blob versioning](versioning-overview.md) is enabled for the storage account. To learn how to enable blob versioning, see [Enable and manage blob versioning](versioning-enable.md). Keep in mind that enabling versioning may have a billing impact. For more information, see the [Pricing and billing section for Blob Versioning](versioning-overview.md#pricing-and-billing).

+After versioning is enabled, when a blob is first uploaded, that version of the blob is the current version. Each time the blob is overwritten, a new version is created that stores the previous state of the blob. When you delete the current version of a blob, the current version becomes a previous version and is retained until explicitly deleted. A previous blob version possesses the time-based retention policy that was in effect when the current version became a previous version.

+If a default policy is in effect for the storage account or container, then when an overwrite operation creates a previous version, the new current version inherits the default policy for the account or container.

+Each version may have only one time-based retention policy configured. A version may also have one legal hold configured.

+To learn how to configure version-level time-based retention policies, see [Configure immutability policies for blob versions](immutable-policy-configure-version-scope.md).

+## Enablement and policy setting

+Using immutable policies with version-level WORM is a two-step process. First, enable version-level immutability. Then, you can set version-level immutability policies.

+To set a policy at the storage account level, you must first enable version-level WORM on the storage account. You can do this only at account creation time. There's no option to enable version-level WORM for pre-existing accounts.

+> [!div class="mx-imgBorder"]

+> 

+To set a policy at the container level, you must first enable version-level WORM either on the account OR on the container.

+If you plan to enable version-level WORM on a container, Microsoft recommends that you enable it at container creation time. However, you can migrate a non-version-level WORM enabled container to a version-level WORM enabled container. If you choose not to migrate a container, you can still set a container-level WORM policy on that container, but the option to set blob-level policies won't be available on that container.

+> [!div class="mx-imgBorder"]

+> 

+To set a policy at the blob level, you must enable version-level WORM on either the account or container. There's no option to enable version-level WORM at the blob level; it must be inherited.

+> [!div class="mx-imgBorder"]

+> 

+### Migration

+Existing containers can support version-level immutability but must undergo a migration process first. This process might take some time. Once enabled, version-level WORM support for that container can't be removed. You can migrate 10 containers at a time per storage account. For more information about migrating a container to support version-level immutability, see [Migrate an existing container to support version-level immutability](immutable-policy-configure-version-scope.md#migrate-an-existing-container-to-support-version-level-immutability).

+### Configure a policy on the current version

+After you enable support for version-level immutability for a storage account or container, then you have the option to configure a default time-based retention policy for the account or container. When you configure a default time-based retention policy for the account or container and then upload a blob, the blob inherits that default policy. You can also choose to override the default policy for any blob on upload by configuring a custom policy for that blob.

+If the default time-based retention policy for the account or container is unlocked, then the current version of a blob that inherits the default policy will also have an unlocked policy. After an individual blob is uploaded, you can shorten or extend the retention period for the policy on the current version of the blob or delete the current version. You can also lock the policy for the current version, even if the default policy on the account or container remains unlocked.

+If the default time-based retention policy for the account or container is locked, then the current version of a blob that inherits the default policy will also have a locked policy. However, if you override the default policy when you upload a blob by setting a policy only for that blob, then that blob's policy remains unlocked until you explicitly lock it. When the policy on the current version is locked, you can extend the retention interval, but you can't delete the policy or shorten the retention interval.

+If there's no default policy configured for either the storage account or the container, then you can upload a blob either with a custom policy or with no policy.

+If the default policy on a storage account or container is modified, policies on objects within that container remain unchanged, even if those policies were inherited from the default policy.

+The following table shows the various options available for setting a time-based retention policy on a blob on upload:

+| Default policy status on account or container | Upload a blob with the default policy | Upload a blob with a custom policy | Upload a blob with no policy |

+||--|-||

+| Default policy on account or container (unlocked) | Blob is uploaded with default unlocked policy | Blob is uploaded with custom unlocked policy | Blob is uploaded with no policy |

+| Default policy on account or container (locked) | Blob is uploaded with default locked policy | Blob is uploaded with custom unlocked policy | Blob is uploaded with no policy |

+| No default policy on either account or container | N/A | Blob is uploaded with custom unlocked policy | Blob is uploaded with no policy |

+### Configure a policy on a previous version

+When versioning is enabled, a write or delete operation to a blob creates a new previous version of that blob that saves the blob's state before the operation. By default, a previous version possesses the time-based retention policy that was in effect for the current version, if any, when the current version became a previous version. The new current version inherits the policy on the container, if there's one.

+If the policy inherited by a previous version is unlocked, then the retention interval can be shortened or lengthened, or the policy can be deleted. The policy on a previous version can also be locked for that version, even if the policy on the current version is unlocked.

+If the policy inherited by a previous version is locked, then the retention interval can be lengthened. The policy can't be deleted, nor can the retention interval be shortened.

+If there's no policy configured on the current version, then the previous version doesn't inherit any policy.

+You can configure a custom policy for the version.

+If the policy on a current version is modified, the policies on existing previous versions remain unchanged, even if the policy was inherited from a current version.

+## Deletion

+Once an account or container is enabled for an immutable policy, it can't be deleted until it's empty. The main thing to note is that it doesn't matter if an immutable policy has been set on a version-level WORM account or container, it matters if it's enabled for a policy. Once it is, the account or container must be empty to be deleted.

+## Scenarios

+| Scenario | Prohibited operations | Blob protection | Container protection | Account protection |

+|-|-|||-|

+| A blob version is protected by an active retention policy and/or a legal hold is in effect | [Delete Blob](/rest/api/storageservices/delete-blob), [Set Blob Metadata](/rest/api/storageservices/set-blob-metadata), and [Put Page](/rest/api/storageservices/put-page) | The blob version can't be deleted.

+| A blob version is protected by an expired retention policy and no legal hold is in effect| Set Blob Metadata and Put Page | A blob version is protected by an expired retention policy and no legal hold is in effect|The blob version can be deleted.<br>Overwriting a blob with [Put Blob](/rest/api/storageservices/put-blob), [Put Block List](/rest/api/storageservices/put-block-list), or [Copy Blob](/rest/api/storageservices/copy-blob) creates a new version¹.| Storage account deletion fails if there is at least one container that contains a blob version with a locked time-based retention policy.<br>Unlocked policies don't provide delete protection.|

+¹ Blob versions are always immutable for content. If versioning is enabled for the storage account, then a write operation to a block blob creates a new version, with the exception of the Put Block operation.

+## Limits

+There can only be 10,000 containers set with unique time-based retention policies in one account; however, you can set an account-level policy that will be inherited by more than 10,000 containers.

+## Azure portal experience (preview)

+This section explains how to use the portal experience (preview) to move schedules and machines from Automation Update Management to Azure Update Manager. With minimal clicks and automated way to move your resources, it's the easiest way to move if you don't have customizations built on top of your Automation Update Management solution.

+To access the portal migration experience, you can use several entry points.

+Select the **Migrate Now** button present on the following entry points. After the selection, you're guided through the process of moving your schedules and machines to Azure Update Manager. This process is designed to be user-friendly and straight forward to allow you to complete the migration with minimal effort.

+You can migrate from any of the following entry points:

+#### [Automation Update Management](#tab/update-mgmt)

+Select the **Migrate Now** button and a migration blade opens. It contains a summary of all resources including machines, and schedules in the Automation account. By default, the Automation account from which you accessed this blade is preselected if you go by this route.

+ :::image type="content" source="./media/guidance-migration-automation-update-management-azure-update-manager/migrate-from-update-management.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how to migrate from Automation Update Management entry point." lightbox="./media/guidance-migration-automation-update-management-azure-update-manager/migrate-from-update-management.png":::

+Here, you can see how many of Azure, Arc-enabled servers, non-Azure non Arc-enabled servers, and schedules are enabled in Automation Update Management and need to be moved to Azure Update Manager. You can also view the details of these resources.

+The migration blade provides an overview of the resources that will be moved, allowing you to review and confirm the migration before proceeding. Once you're ready, you can proceed with the migration process to move your schedules and machines to Azure Update Manager.

+After you review the resources that must be moved, you can proceed with the migration process which is a three-step process:

+1. **Prerequisites**

+ This includes two steps:

+ a. **Onboard non-Azure non-Arc-enabled machines to Arc** - This is because Arc connectivity is a prerequisite for Azure Update Manager. Onboarding your machines to Azure Arc is free of cost, and once you do so, you can avail all management services as you can do for any Azure machine. For more information, see [Azure Arc documentation](../azure-arc/servers/onboard-service-principal.md)

+ on how to onboard your machines.

+ b. **Download and run PowerShell script locally** - This is required for the creation of a user identity and appropriate role assignments so that the migration can take place. This script gives proper RBAC to the User Identity on the subscription to which the automation account belongs, machines onboarded to Automation Update Management, scopes that are part of dynamic queries etc. so that the configuration can be assigned to the machines, MRP configurations can be created and updates solution can be removed. For more information, see [Azure Update Manager documentation](guidance-migration-automation-update-management-azure-update-manager.md#prerequisite-2-create-user-identity-and-role-assignments-by-running-powershell-script).

+ :::image type="content" source="./media/guidance-migration-automation-update-management-azure-update-manager/prerequisite-migration-update-manager.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows the prerequisites for migration." lightbox="./media/guidance-migration-automation-update-management-azure-update-manager/prerequisite-migration-update-manager.png":::

+1. **Move resources in Automation account to Azure Update Manager**

+

+ The next step in the migration process is to enable Azure Update Manager on the machines to be moved and create equivalent maintenance configurations for the schedules to be migrated. When you select the **Migrate Now** button, it imports the *MigrateToAzureUpdateManager* runbook into your Automation account and sets the verbose logging to **True**.

+ :::image type="content" source="./media/guidance-migration-automation-update-management-azure-update-manager/step-two-migrate-workload.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how to migrate workload in your Automation account." lightbox="./media/guidance-migration-automation-update-management-azure-update-manager/step-two-migrate-workload.png":::

+

+ Select **Start** runbook, which presents the parameters that must be passed to the runbook.

+

+ :::image type="content" source="./media/guidance-migration-automation-update-management-azure-update-manager/start-runbook-migration.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how to start runbook to allow the parameters to be passed to the runbook." lightbox="./media/guidance-migration-automation-update-management-azure-update-manager/start-runbook-migration.png":::

+ For more information on the parameters to fetch and the location from where it must be fetched, see [migration of machines and schedules](#step-1-migration-of-machines-and-schedules). Once you start the runbook after passing in all the parameters, Azure Update Manager will begin to get enabled on machines and maintenance configuration in Azure Update Manager will start getting created. You can monitor Azure runbook logs for the status of execution and migration of schedules.

+1. **Deboard resources from Automation Update management**

+ Run the clean-up script to deboard machines from the Automation Update Management solution and disable Automation Update Management schedules.

+ After you select the **Run clean-up script** button, the runbook *DeboardFromAutomationUpdateManagement* will be imported into your Automation account, and its verbose logging is set to **True**.

+ :::image type="content" source="./media/guidance-migration-automation-update-management-azure-update-manager/run-clean-up-script.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how to perform post migration." lightbox="./media/guidance-migration-automation-update-management-azure-update-manager/run-clean-up-script.png":::

+ When you select **Start** the runbook, asks for parameters to be passed to the runbook. For more information, see [Deboarding from Automation Update Management solution](#step-2-deboarding-from-automation-update-management-solution) to fetch the parameters to be passed to the runbook.

+ :::image type="content" source="./media/guidance-migration-automation-update-management-azure-update-manager/deboard-update-management-start-runbook.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how to deboard from Automation Update Management and starting the runbook." lightbox="./media/guidance-migration-automation-update-management-azure-update-manager/deboard-update-management-start-runbook.png":::

+#### [Azure Update Manager](#tab/update-manager)

+You can initiate migration from Azure Update Manager. On the top of screen, you can see a deprecation banner with a **Migrate Now** button at the top of screen.

+ :::image type="content" source="./media/guidance-migration-automation-update-management-azure-update-manager/migration-entry-update-manager.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how to migrate from Azure Update Manager entry point." lightbox="./media/guidance-migration-automation-update-management-azure-update-manager/migration-entry-update-manager.png":::

+Select **Migrate Now** button to view the migration blade that allows you to select the Automation account whose resources you want to move from Automation Update Management to Azure Update Manager. You must select subscription, resource group, and finally the Automation account name. After you select, you will view the summary of machines and schedules to be migrated to Azure Update Manager. From here, follow the migration steps listed in [Automation Update Management](#azure-portal-experience-preview).

+#### [Virtual machine](#tab/virtual-machine)

+To initiate migration from a single VM **Updates** view, follow these steps:

+1. Select the machine that is enabled for Automation Update Management and under **Operations**, select **Updates**.

+1. In the deprecation banner, select the **Migrate Now** button.

+

+ :::image type="content" source="./media/guidance-migration-automation-update-management-azure-update-manager/migrate-single-virtual-machine.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how to migrate from single virtual machine entry point." lightbox="./media/guidance-migration-automation-update-management-azure-update-manager/migrate-single-virtual-machine.png":::

+ You can see that the Automation account to which the machine belongs is preselected and a summary of all resources in the Automation account is presented. This allows you to migrate the resources from Automation Update Management to Azure Update Manager.

+ :::image type="content" source="./media/guidance-migration-automation-update-management-azure-update-manager/single-vm-migrate-now.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how to migrate the resources from single virtual machine entry point." lightbox="./media/guidance-migration-automation-update-management-azure-update-manager/single-vm-migrate-now.png":::

+ From here, follow the migration steps listed in [Automation Update Management](#azure-portal-experience-preview).

+ For more information on how the scripts are executed in the backend, and their behavior see, [Migration scripts (preview)](#migration-scripts-preview).

+## Migration scripts (preview)

+ 1. For this, the script fetches all the machines onboarded to Automation Update Management under this automation account and parse their subscription IDs to be given the required RBAC to the User Identity.

+ 1. The script assigns the required roles for the Log Analytics workspace and solution.

+- Check if a resource group with the name taken as input is already present in the subscription of the automation account or not. If not, then create a resource group with the name specified by the Cx. This resource group is used for creating the MRP configs for V2.

+ - For example, if the automation schedule has a recurrence of every 100 Hours, then the equivalent maintenance configuration schedule has it for every 100/24 = 4.16 (Round to Nearest Value) -> Four days will be the recurrence for the maintenance configuration.

+description: Learn about Virtual WAN virtual hub routing preference.

+1. Prefer static routes learned from the virtual hub route table over BGP routes.

+1. Select best path based on the virtual hub routing preference configuration.

+You can select one of the three possible virtual hub routing preference configurations: ExpressRoute, VPN, or AS Path. Each configuration is slightly different. Route rules are processed sequentially within the selected configuration until a match is made.

+* **ExpressRoute** (This is the default setting)

+ 1. Prefer routes from local virtual hub connections over routes learned from remote virtual hub.

+ 1. If there are Routes from both ExpressRoute and Site-to-site VPN connections:

+ * If all the routes are local to the virtual hub, the routes learned from ExpressRoute connections will be chosen because Virtual hub routing preference is set to ExpressRoute.

+ * If all the routes are through remote hubs, Site-to-site VPN will be preferred over ExpressRoute.

+ 1. Prefer routes with the shortest BGP AS-Path length.

+* **VPN**

+ 1. Prefer routes from local virtual hub connections over routes learned from remote virtual hub.

+ 1. If there are routes from both ExpressRoute and Site-to-site VPN connections, the Site-to-site VPN routes will be chosen.

+ 1. Prefer routes with the shortest BGP AS-Path length.

+* **AS Path**

+ 1. Prefer routes with the shortest BGP AS-Path length irrespective of the source of the route advertisements. Note: In vWANs with multiple remote virtual hubs, if there's a tie between remote ExpressRoute routes and remote site-to-site VPN routes, remote site-to-site VPN routes will be preferred.

+ 1. Prefer routes from local virtual hub connections over routes learned from remote virtual hub.

+ 1. If there are routes from both ExpressRoute and Site-to-site VPN connections:

+ * If all the routes are local to the virtual hub, the routes from ExpressRoute connections will be chosen.

+ * If all the routes are through remote virtual hubs, the routes from Site-to-site VPN connections will be chosen.

+* For a given set of destination route-prefixes, if the ExpressRoute routes are preferred and the ExpressRoute connection subsequently goes down, then routes from S2S VPN or SD-WAN NVA connections will be preferred for traffic destined to the same route-prefixes. When the ExpressRoute connection is restored, traffic destined for these route-prefixes might continue to prefer the S2S VPN or SD-WAN NVA connections. To prevent this from happening, you need to configure your on-premises device to utilize AS-Path prepending for the routes being advertised to your S2S VPN Gateway and SD-WAN NVA, as you need to ensure the AS-Path length is longer for VPN/NVA routes than ExpressRoute routes.

+* Virtual WAN hub using ER connections as primary and VPN connections as backup.

+The following example is a hypothetical Virtual WAN deployment that encompasses multiple scenarios described earlier. We'll use it to demonstrate the route selection by a virtual hub.

+LetΓÇÖs say there are flows from a virtual network VNET1 connected to Hub_1 to various destination route-prefixes advertised by the on-premises. The path that each of those flows takes for different configurations of Virtual WAN **hub routing preference** on Hub_1 and Hub_2 is described in the following tables. The paths have been labeled in the diagram and referred to in the tables for ease of understanding.

+| **Routing Infrastructure Units** | The virtual hub's routing infrastructure units (RIU). The virtual hub's RIU determines how much bandwidth the virtual hub router can process for flows traversing the virtual hub router. The hub's RIU also determines how many VMs in spoke VNets the virtual hub router can support. For more details on routing infrastructure units, see [Virtual Hub Capacity](hub-settings.md#capacity).

+| **Spoke VM Utilization** | The number of deployed spoke VMs as a percentage of the total number of spoke VMs that the hub's routing infrastructure units can support. For example, if the hub's RIU is set to 2 (which supports 2000 spoke VMs), and 1000 VMs are deployed across spoke VNets, then this metric will display as 50%. |

+> [!NOTE]

+> As of March 28, 2024, the backend functionality for the Routing Infrastructure Units and Spoke VM Utilization metrics are still rolling out. As a result, even if you see these metrics displayed in Portal, the actual values of these metrics might appear as 0. The backend functionality of these metrics is aimed to finish rolling out within the next several weeks, which will ensure the proper values are emitted.

+>

+Each gateway has two instances. The split happens so that each gateway instance can independently allocate client IPs for connected clients and traffic from the virtual network is routed back to the correct gateway instance to avoid inter-gateway instance hop.

+For information, see the [Virtual hub routing preference](about-virtual-hub-routing-preference.md) page.

+Enabling or disabling the toggle will only affect the following traffic flow: traffic flowing between the Virtual WAN hub and standalone VNet(s) via the ExpressRoute circuit. Enabling or disabling the toggle will **not** incur downtime for all other traffic flows (Ex: on-premises site to spoke VNet 2 won't be impacted, VNet 2 to VNet 3 won't be impacted, etc).

+No. Virtual WAN doesn't support ASN changes for VPN gateways.

+* If your hub is connected to a large number of spoke virtual networks (60 or more), then you might notice that 1 or more spoke VNet peerings will enter a failed state after the upgrade. To restore these VNet peerings to a successful state after the upgrade, you can configure the virtual network connections to propagate to a dummy label, or you can delete and recreate these respective VNet connections.
