How to call a resource from different subscription?

Terraform Providers Azure

We need to send diagnostics to a log analytics workspace in a different subscription, however the data block doesnt let us specify the subscrition ID. If anyone has ever done this and can share the solution, it will be much appreciated.

hi,

example in our main.tf :

subscription 1

provider “azurerm” {
version = “~> 2.11.0”
features {}
subscription_id = SUB_ID
}

transversal subscription

provider “azurerm” {
version = “~> 2.11.0”
alias = transversal
features {}
subscription_id = TRANSVERSAL_SUB_ID
}

AND in your ressource (example) :

data “azurerm_key_vault” “mgmt” {
provider = azurerm.transversal
name = “{var.mgmt_key_vault_name}" resource_group_name = "{var.mgmt_resource_group_name}”
}

I am also having that same issue.
Did you manage to resolve it?

I was able to achieve it by declaring a provider for the other subscription (log analytics workspace) and then reference it to direct the logs to it.
