 - On the database being monitored, create/update a USER with the name of the Monitoring VM as the principal using the below script. This might require allow-listing the client machine's IP address (from where the below SQL script is being run) on the SQL Server resource.
 
+In case of multiple assigned identities on one VM you can use the parameter
