Integrate Azure AD logs with Azure Monitor logs
Using Diagnostic settings in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), you can integrate logs with Azure Monitor so your sign-in activity and the audit trail of changes within your tenant can be analyzed along with other Azure data.
This article provides the steps to integrate Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) logs with Azure Monitor.
Use the integration of Azure AD activity logs and Azure Monitor to perform the following tasks:
Compare your Azure AD sign-in logs against security logs published by Microsoft Defender for Cloud.
Troubleshoot performance bottlenecks on your application’s sign-in page by correlating application performance data from Azure Application Insights.
Analyze the Identity Protection risky users and risk detections logs to detect threats in your environment.
Identify sign-ins from applications still using the Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL) for authentication. Learn about the ADAL end-of-support plan.
Note
Integrating Azure Active Directory logs with Azure Monitor will automatically enable the Azure Active Directory data connector within Microsoft Sentinel.
This Microsoft Ignite 2018 session video shows the benefits of integrating Azure AD logs and Azure Monitor in practical scenarios:
How do I access it?
To use this feature, you need:
- An Azure subscription. If you don't have an Azure subscription, you can sign up for a free trial.
- An Azure AD Premium P1 or P2 tenant. You can find the license type of your tenant on the Overview page in Azure AD.
- Global Administrator or Security Administrator access for the Azure AD tenant.
- A Log Analytics workspace in your Azure subscription. Learn how to create a Log Analytics workspace.
Send logs to Azure Monitor
Follow the steps below to send logs from Azure Active Directory to Azure Monitor. Looking for how to set up Log Analytics workspace for Azure resources outside of Azure AD? Check out the Collect and view resource logs for Azure Monitor article.
Sign in to the Azure portal as a Security Administrator or Global Administrator.
Go to Azure Active Directory > Diagnostic settings. You can also select Export Settings from either the Audit Logs or Sign-ins page.
Select + Add diagnostic setting to create a new integration or select Edit setting for an existing integration.
Enter a Diagnostic setting name. If you're editing an existing integration, you can't change the name.
Any or all of the following logs can be sent to the Log Analytics workspace. Some logs may be in public preview but still visible in the portal.
