Prerequisites

Overview

This article lists the requirements you must meet before setting up Business Applications in Turbo360. Complete these steps before following the Service principal setup or Creating your first Business Application guides.

Business value

Meeting prerequisites before setup eliminates configuration failures and reduces the time to your first working Business Application. A complete environment ensures that service principal authentication, resource monitoring, and alerting all function correctly from the start.

How it works

Business Applications in Turbo360 monitors and manages your Azure resources by connecting to your Azure environment through a service principal. Before you can create a Business Application, Turbo360 requires access to your Azure subscription, a service principal configured with the correct Azure role assignments, and a supported browser environment.

The prerequisites fall into three areas:

• Turbo360 account — you must have an active Turbo360 account with an organization set up
• Azure environment — your Azure subscription and the resources you want to monitor must be active
• Permissions — the service principal used to connect Turbo360 to Azure must be assigned Azure RBAC permissions at the appropriate subscription or resource group scope

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure the following are in place:

Turbo360 account

• An active Turbo360 account. See Create Turbo360 account.
• An organization configured in Turbo360. See Initial setup.

Azure environment

• An active Azure subscription.
• The Azure resources you intend to monitor must already exist in your subscription.
• Access to the Azure portal to configure service principal permissions.

Permissions

• You must have Owner or User Access Administrator rights on the Azure subscription to assign roles to the service principal.
• The service principal must be assigned the Reader role at minimum for resource discovery and monitoring.
• For management operations, assign the Contributor role or a custom RBAC role that includes only the permissions required for the intended management actions, following the principle of least privilege.
• Where possible, grant permissions at the resource group scope rather than the subscription scope to minimize access.
