description:
 Reports the public address ranges registered against the tenant as external
 networks, so that DNS queries arriving from them are attributed to it. This
 mirrors the External Networks count in the portal dashboard.

 The service goes to a configurable state, {WARN} by default, when any
 address has an approval status other than AUTO_VERIFIED, VERIFIED or
 APPROVED. An address whose approval has not completed is registered but is
 not yet in effect, which is easy to miss.

 An expected minimum network count can also be set, which catches a list
 being deleted.

 The details list every network list with the security policy it is bound
 to, and beneath it every address with its description, approval status,
 who requested it and when, plus the creation and last update times of the
 list itself.

discovery:
 One aggregate service is created on the tenant host. Only present when the
 tenant is licensed for Threat Defense.
