Description
Use Case
The Azure authentication module used by the azure_monitor output plugin will be retired in March. Please consider updating the plugin to use azidentity instead.
The notice does indicate the current module will continue to work after March 31st, but that could break at any time in the future without notice - not to mention the increasing risk over time of security incident running an unsupported SDK, and the lack of new feature/compatibility development (e.g. the current plugin isn't compatible with Azure Arc enabled hybrid machines, but would be if it used the newer azidentity SDK)
