+Follow the instructions on this page to set up the {{< ui >}}Azure integration{{< /ui >}} through an app registration, available for all Datadog sites. During setup, choose whether the app registration authenticates with Datadog using **Secretless Auth** (recommended) or a **Client Secret**.

+{{< /site-region >}}
+
+The Azure integration supports two authentication methods:
+
+| Method | How it works | What you manage |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Secretless Auth** (recommended) | Datadog and Azure establish a trusted identity relationship using an Azure federated credential and OpenID Connect (OIDC) [workload identity federation][54]. The app registration trusts Datadog's OIDC identity instead of a stored secret, and Datadog never stores a secret. | Nothing to rotate or renew, which reduces the risk of ingestion gaps from expired credentials. |
+| **Client Secret** | Datadog stores and authenticates with a client secret from your app registration. | Keep the secret up to date before it expires. |
+
+You select the authentication method when you create or configure an app registration.

 ## Metric collection
 
 Datadog's Azure integration is built to collect all metrics from [Azure Monitor][8]. The [Integrations page][9] shows a curated list of predefined sub-integrations that provide additional out-of-the-box dashboards and monitors for specific Azure services. Many of these integrations are installed by default when Datadog recognizes data coming in from your Azure account. However, Datadog can ingest metrics from **any Azure Monitor-supported resource**, even if it doesn't have a dedicated sub-integration tile.

 ## Log collection
 
 The diagram below provides a reference architecture for forwarding logs from Azure to Datadog using [automated log forwarding][29]. A control plane deployed in your chosen subscription discovers resources and configures their diagnostic settings. Log forwarders, consisting of an Azure Container Apps job and a storage account, are deployed in each region where your resources generate logs, and they scale up or down to match log volume.
