Collecting logs for the Office 365 App​

This section provides instructions for configuring log collection for the Microsoft Office 365 App, as well as providing sample log messages and queries.

To collect logs for the Microsoft Office 365 App, do the following:

  1. One Hosted Collector.
  2. One Microsoft Office 365 Audit Source for each content type you want to collect logs for. For example:
    • Office 365 Azure AD logs
    • Office 365 Exchange logs
    • Office 365 SharePoint logs
    • Office 365 General logs
    • Office 365 Data Loss Prevention (DLP) event logs

For complete details, see Microsoft Office 365 Audit Source.

We recommend the following Source Category naming convention:

  • Azure AD. O365/Azure
  • Exchange. O365/Exchange
  • SharePoint. O365/SharePoint
  • General. O365/General
  • DLP. O365/DLP

Installing the Microsoft Office 365 app​

Now that you have configured Office 365, install the Sumo Logic App for Microsoft Office 365 to take advantage of the preconfigured searches and dashboards to analyze your data.

To install the app, do the following:

  1. Select App Catalog.
  2. In the 🔎 Search Apps field, run a search for your desired app, then select it.
  3. Click Install App.
    note

    Sometimes this button says Add Integration.

  4. Click Next in the Setup Data section.
  5. In the Configure section of your respective app, complete the following fields.
    1. Key. Select either of these options for the data source.
      • Choose Source Category and select a source category from the list for Default Value.
      • Choose Custom, and enter a custom metadata field. Insert its value in Default Value.
  6. Click Next. You will be redirected to the Preview & Done section.

Post-installation

Once your app is installed, it will appear in your Installed Apps folder, and dashboard panels will start to fill automatically.

Each panel slowly fills with data matching the time range query and received since the panel was created. Results will not immediately be available, but will update with full graphs and charts over time.

Viewing Microsoft Office 365 dashboards​

All dashboards have a set of filters that you can apply to the entire dashboard. Use these filters to drill down and examine the data to a granular level.

  • You can change the time range for a dashboard or panel by selecting a predefined interval from a drop-down list, choosing a recently used time range, or specifying custom dates and times. Learn more.
  • You can use template variables to drill down and examine the data on a granular level. For more information, see Filtering Dashboards with Template Variables.
  • Most Next-Gen apps allow you to provide the scope at the installation time and are comprised of a key (_sourceCategory by default) and a default value for this key. Based on your input, the app dashboards will be parameterized with a dashboard variable, allowing you to change the dataset queried by all panels. This eliminates the need to create multiple copies of the same dashboard with different queries.
