Example

In this example, the request updates the Azure credentials configuration from the POST request example.

monitorOnlyTaggedEntities value has been changed to false
monitorOnlyTagPairs array is empty.

The API token is passed in the Authorization header.

Because the request body is lengthy, it is truncated in this example Curl section. See the full body in the Request body section.
