API request examples for creating Data Collection Rules (DCRs)
This article presents some examples of API requests and responses for creating Data Collection Rules (DCRs) and DCR Associations (DCRAs) for use with the Azure Monitor Agent (AMA).
Syslog/CEF
The following examples are for DCRs using the AMA to collect Syslog and CEF messages.
Syslog/CEF DCR
These examples are of the API request and response for creating a DCR.
Syslog/CEF DCR creation request URL and header
Example:
PUT https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee/resourceGroups/ContosoRG/providers/Microsoft.Insights/dataCollectionRules/Contoso-DCR-01?api-version=2022-06-01
Syslog/CEF DCR creation request body
The following is an example of a DCR creation request. For each stream—you can have several in one DCR—change the value of the "Streams"
field according to the source of the messages you want to ingest:
Log source | "Streams" field value |
---|---|
Syslog | "Microsoft-Syslog" |
CEF | "Microsoft-CommonSecurityLog" |
Cisco ASA | "Microsoft-CiscoAsa" |
