Collecting logs

This section has instructions for collecting logs for the Sumo App for Teams.

Collection process overview

To collect logs for Microsoft Teams, please configure an Office 365 Audit Source. The Teams logs will be present in the “Office 365 General Logs” context. Note, that if you are already collecting logs for Office 365, you can simply make note of the source category configured for the aforementioned context.

Installing the Microsoft Teams App

   note

   Sometimes this button says Add Integration.

4. On the next configuration page, under Select Data Source for your App, complete the following fields:
   • Data Source. Select one of the following options:
     • Choose Source Category and select a source category from the list; or
     • Choose Enter a Custom Data Filter, and enter a custom source category beginning with an underscore. For example, _sourceCategory=MyCategory.
   • Folder Name. You can retain the existing name or enter a custom name of your choice for the app.
   • All Folders (optional). The default location is the Personal folder in your Library. If desired, you can choose a different location and/or click New Folder to add it to a new folder.
5. Click Next.

Post-installation

Once your app is installed, it will appear in your Personal folder or the folder that you specified. From here, you can share it with other users in your organization. Dashboard panels will automatically start to fill with data matching the time range query received since you created the panel. Results won't be available immediately, but within about 20 minutes, you'll see completed graphs and maps.
