Need to setup some mechanism where we monitor Azure AD Connect Sync cycle

Question

Hello All,

I hope you all are doing well.

Can we monitor the Azure AD Connect sync cycle? For example, if the sync cycle hasn't ran in the recent hour, we should be told by SMTP or something similar. Is there any feature that allows for this?

Regards,

Shashank

Hi,

Yes there are event ids and you can monitor this via SCOM tool or third party tools to send alerts, if you have powershell scripts you can automate to send alerts. Check the Event IDs https://identitydude.com/2017/01/12/aad-connect-event-ids/

Usually Get-ADSyncScheduler should provide you the latest status and previous sync update. Try to automate this command.

Hope this helps.
