# Service Graph Connector for Microsoft Azure properties

Service Graph Connector for Microsoft Azure properties control the behavior of the connector.

## Connection properties

These connection properties are available for the Service Graph Connector for Microsoft Azure hardware connections.

**Note:** To open the Service Graph Connection Properties \[sn\_cmdb\_int\_util\_service\_graph\_connection\_property\] table for the connector, navigate to **All** > **Service Graph Connectors** > **Azure** > **Connections**, and select the hardware connection name. The connection properties are displayed in the Service Graph Connection Properties related list.

Property

Description

</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>

vmGraphQuery

</td><td>

Specify the resource graph query on which the Run command should be executed. By default, the Run command is executed on all running VMs.-   Type: string
-   Default value: empty

</td></tr><tr><td>

filter\_databricks

</td><td>

This property is used to filter Azure Databricks CIs using the Vendor tag provided by Azure. Azure Databricks virtual machines \(VMs\), Network Interface Controllers \(NICs\), and storage volumes \(collectively called Azure Databricks CIs\) have the value of the Vendor tag set to `Databricks`.

Starting with the Service Graph Connector for Microsoft Azure 1.14.0 version, all Azure Databricks CIs that have the value of the Vendor tag set to `Databricks` are filtered out from discovery during a full data load.

During delta loads, set the value of the **insert\_short\_lived\_vms** custom system property to `false` to filter Azure Databricks CIs that are marked as retired during discovery \(see [Custom system properties](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/service-graph-connectors/cmdb-sgc-azure-props.md)\). Additionally, for each Hardware connection, set the **filter\_databricks** connection property to `true`.

-   Type: true \| false
-   Default value: false

</td></tr><tr><td>

last\_full\_load\_date

</td><td>

Enable this property to run a delta data load on Hardware connections. When this property is deactivated, the next scheduled import automatically runs a full data load.​**Note:** Enable the **SG - Azure Hardware Clear Last success imports time** scheduled import job and set the run frequency to schedule regular full data loads. The default run frequency is `daily`. When this scheduled import job is enabled, the last\_full\_load\_date property is deactivated.
