Azure Storage
How to set up the storage
Elqano is using an Azure Storage account to store the processing and shared documents.
It will contains two blob containers:
- The document collection to temporary store indexed documents and shared ones.
- The report collection to store generated statistics reports
To configure it easily, we are providing a pre-configured template.
By default it will create a storage account with the following properties:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Performance | Standard |
| Account kind | StorageV2 |
| Replication | Read-Access geo-redundant stoage (RA-GRS) |
| Access tier | Hot |
| Containers Public Access | Private |
Edit the template if you need specific setings. You will be able to configure more propeties on the Azure storage account service later.

To use the template, navigate to the Custom deployment service of Azure and select Build your own template in the editor

Security Settings
Once the app service is configured, please follow the steps described in the Security settings documentation to add a firewall to the azure storage should you need it.
Please note that doing so will disable both features:
- the upload from computer feature
- the download of usage reports for admins if no VPN system is used (and the corresponding allowed IPs shared).
