Can the Managed Identity be used with Azure-Redhat-OpenShift Cluster to collect Prometheus Metrics?

Hello,
I want to configure an ARO cluster that is ARC-Enabled to remote-write Prometheus metrics to Azure Monitoring Managed Prometheus .
I have created an Azure Monitoring Workspace and Added a Managed Identity to the ARO Arc enabled Resource group. while granting Roles and permission, I noticed that the documentation only refers to AKS clusters (see : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/prometheus-remote-write-managed-identity?source=recommendations#grant-aks-cluster-access-to-the-identity).

Even though, the Artical is mentioning that both AKS and Azure-Arc are supported (see: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/prometheus-remote-write-managed-identity?source=recommendations#cluster-configurations) I m not able to find a documentation for that , the Only thing that I found is regarding the Active Directory method.

Can you share with me the proer way to achieve that (connecting a Prometheus Server from an Arc-enabled (ARO) cluster to the Azure Managed Prometheus ) ?
Thank you.

    Hi slsbla •

    Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

    I understand that you are looking for the confirmation, if ARO has Manage Identity.

    We had the confirmation and you can read in details here: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/managed-identity-workload-identity-azure#:~:text=We%20are%20pleased%20to%20announce,Red%20Hat%20OpenShift%20(ARO).

    The entire process is detailed in the documentation.

    Regarding the ARC-Enabled - search for ARO on this link - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/containers/kubernetes-monitoring-enable?tabs=cli
