Create auditEvent

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Note: The Microsoft Graph API for Intune requires an active Intune license for the tenant.

Create a new auditEvent object.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

Permissions

One of the following permissions is required to call this API. To learn more, including how to choose permissions, see Permissions.

Permission type	Permissions (from least to most privileged)
Delegated (work or school account)	DeviceManagementApps.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.
Application	DeviceManagementApps.ReadWrite.All

HTTP Request

POST /deviceManagement/auditEvents

Request headers

Header	Value
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Accept	application/json

Request body

In the request body, supply a JSON representation for the auditEvent object.

The following table shows the properties that are required when you create the auditEvent.

Property	Type	Description
id	String	Key of the entity.
displayName	String	Event display name.
componentName	String	Component name.
actor	auditActor	AAD user and application that are associated with the audit event.
activity	String	Friendly name of the activity.
activityDateTime	DateTimeOffset	The date time in UTC when the activity was performed.
activityType	String	The type of activity that was being performed.
activityOperationType	String	The HTTP operation type of the activity.
activityResult	String	The result of the activity.
correlationId	Guid	The client request Id that is used to correlate activity within the system.
resources	auditResource collection	Resources being modified.
category	String	Audit category.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 201 Created response code and a auditEvent object in the response body.
