services / Azure / Traffic Manager Realtime User Metrics key

A subscription-level key used to authenticate client-side Realtime (Real) User Metrics telemetry submission for Traffic Manager.

The key is a secret that authorizes RUM telemetry reporting; it does not by itself grant identity or data-plane access, so its blast radius is limited to the metrics/telemetry function.

Creating/regenerating the subscription-level metrics key alters the telemetry-collection configuration and can invalidate the existing key, disrupting legitimate Realtime User Metrics reporting.
