You can configure the system property for synchronizing only delta data from an Azure instance.

The connector provides the ability to import only delta data from an Azure instance. With delta synchronization enabled, the importing process of Azure data is quicker because the connector imports the changes in Azure data only. The Last Run Time field of a data source displays the timestamp of the most recent delta pull run. The Last Run Time field is updated only when the last delta pull run was a success. An empty Last Run Time field indicates no previous delta pull run for the data source, but either a full pull run or no run at all. The delta pull period is calculated by subtracting the last run date and time from the current date and time that is Delta period = Current date timestamp - Last run date timestamp.

The application includes the sn_sg_azure_integ.is_delta_sync_enabled system property to enable delta synchronization. By default, the property is set to true. However, when you want to import full data from your Azure instance, you must disable the sn_sg_azure_integ.is_delta_sync_enabled property. See Disable delta synchronization.
Note: When the full import of data is completed, set the sn_sg_azure_integ.is_delta_sync_enabled property back to true to pull delta data later. If you leave the property set to false, full data is imported with every pull, which takes considerable time. In addition, always importing full data contributes to discrepancies in the pulled-in data, as the full import doesn’t include any updated or deleted configuration items (CIs).

For a delta pull, you can also configure the grace time, page size, preceding time period, and API call duration using system properties. For more information, see Service Graph Connector for Microsoft Azure properties.
