# Retrieve Information from Azure

To automatically retrieve information from Azure Blob Storage, create a new fetch task by following these steps. The connector runs each fetch task automatically, based on the schedule that is configured in the configuration file.

To create a new Fetch Task

1. Stop the connector.
2. Open the configuration file in a text editor.

3. In the `[FetchTasks]` section of the configuration file, specify the number of fetch tasks using the `Number` parameter. If you are configuring the first fetch task, type `Number=1`. If one or more fetch tasks have already been configured, increase the value of the `Number` parameter by one (1). Below the `Number` parameter, specify the names of the fetch tasks, starting from zero (0). For example:

       [FetchTasks]
       Number=1
       0=MyTask

4. Below the `[FetchTasks]` section, create a new TaskName section. The name of the section must match the name of the new fetch task. For example:

       [FetchTasks]
       Number=1
       0=MyTask

       [MyTask]

1. Specify the account name and application key to use to connect to Azure:

   `AccountName` | The name of the Azure account to retrieve information from.
   `AccountKey` | The application key to use for authentication. You can obtain this from Azure.

2. (Optional) To limit the information that is retrieved from Azure, you can set the following parameters:

   `ContainerCantHaveRegex` | A regular expression to choose the containers to process. If the full name of a container matches the regular expression, the connector does not retrieve any information from it.
   `ContainerMustHaveRegex` | A regular expression to choose the containers to process. The full name of a container must match the regular expression, otherwise the connector does not retrieve any information from it.
   `BlobCantHaveRegex` | A regular expression to choose the blobs to process. If the name of a blob (excluding the container name) matches the regular expression, the connector does not process it.
   `BlobMustHaveRegex` | A regular expression to choose the blobs to process. The name of a blob (excluding the container name) must match the regular expression, otherwise the connector does not process it.

3. Save and close the configuration file. You can now start the connector.
