Azure Sentinel Requirements

Question

Hello,

I am trying to setup a trial instance of Azure sentinel in our tenant to find out if we can recommend it as a service to our client. We are a startup MSP and have not dealt with configuring Azure sentinel before. What I am trying to know is if there is free trial to setup Azure Sentinel and Log analytics in our tenant for testing purposes for a period of time and cancel the subscription before the trial expires?

We basically want to know how to configure and implement alerting and all those good stuff before we recommend it to our clients.

Please let me know if this is possible to do in our tenant without incurring any charges to us.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your post!

To hopefully answer all of your questions, I'll try to summarize your issue below.

Is there is free trial to setup Azure Sentinel and Log analytics in our tenant for testing purposes, and cancel the subscription before the trial expires?

• From our pricing documentation - Azure Sentinel can be enabled at no additional cost on an Azure Monitor Log Analytics workspace for the first 31-days. Usage beyond the first 31-days will be charged per pricing listed above - Azure Sentinel pricing. Charges related to Azure Monitor Log Analytics for data ingestion and additional capabilities for automation and bring your own machine learning are still applicable during the free trial. For more info - Plan and manage costs for Azure Sentinel

If you need more clarification on pricing, I'd recommend reaching out to our Sales team within the Sentinel Pricing Documentation.

We basically want to know how to configure and implement alerting:

• Prior to configuring Azure Sentinel, please make sure to review our Pre-deployment activities and prerequisites for deploying Azure Sentinel documentation in order to plan your deployment, providing maximum value to your environment.
• Alerting - Create custom analytics rules to detect threats
