Next we need to start filtering the data. Whenever you are using Security Center (which included the Security Event Log) then we need to get information from SecurityEvent. To start with open the Log Analytics Workspace and open “Logs” to start your Kusto query.įirst thing we need to do is pull from the correct data source. In this scenario we already have an Azure Log Analytics Workspace and Security Center enabled and reporting to our workspace with the proper agents deployed.

If you’re interested in detail documentation on the product here you go! If you’re interested in the connectors available in Logic Apps take a look at the following link: We could have just as easily sent the results to Google Mail or a slack channel. For our example we will first connect to a Log Analytics Workspace, run a Kusto Query, and then email the alerts using Office 365. There is an amazing number of products that Logic Apps integrates with. Logic Apps provides a graphical interface to run a workflow that integrates different components together. Going in depth on Security Center or Azure Monitor is beyond the scope of this blog but if you’re interested then happy reading! For our example we are wanting to report on failed logins which come from the Security event log so we must have implemented Azure Security Center for this information to be available. You can also implement Monitoring Solutions such as the “Update Compliance” solution to collect additional information.

You can configure a Log Analytics Workspace to collect event logs, performance data, log files, etc. Typically, data is inserted into Log Analytics using an agent that can be added directly in Azure, using your System Center Operations Manager environment, or manually installing the agent. Log Analytics falls under the umbrella of Azure Monitor and provides a repository of data that is queries using the Kusto Query Language. In this blog we will create a report of failed login attempts across all our monitored servers but this is just the tip of the ice berg of the useful information you can get from Log Analytics.īefore I show you how to build this solution, lets briefly talk about Log Analytics and Logic Apps.

I wanted to take a little bit of time to demonstrate how you can use Azure Log Analytics along with Azure Logic Apps to email out reports on important information. My name is Brad Watts and I’m a SCOM PFE.
