Microsoft Graph Azure AD Reporting

The Sumo Logic App for Microsoft Graph Azure AD Reporting enables you to access and monitor data, including audit information, user activity, sign-in patterns, and provisioning activities. It helps you to gain insights into how your organization uses Azure AD and identify potential security issues.

Key features of the Microsoft Graph Azure AD Reporting app include:

• Analyze Audit Activities. Provides real-time user activity for every resource category and shows the distribution of audits by operations and services.
• Monitor Sign-In activities. Monitor sign-in activities for your organization, including the number of successful and failed sign-ins, sign-ins by user location, sign-ins by application, and sign-ins from risky countries.
• Identify Suspicious Activities. Identify suspicious activity, such as sign-ins from unfamiliar/risky locations or multiple sign-in attempts.
• Analyze Provisioning Activities. Provides distribution of provisioning activities by status, actions, and initiators. It also shows the most frequent service principals used while provisioning.

Log types

The App uses Microsoft Graph Azure AD Reporting Source to collect Audit, Sign-in, and Provisioning activities.

Set up collection

Follow the instructions for setting up Microsoft Graph Azure AD Reporting source and use the same source category while installing the app.

Installing the Microsoft Graph Azure AD Reporting app​

This section has instructions for installing the Microsoft Graph Azure AD Reporting app for Sumo Logic.

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 Graph Azure AD Reporting 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.

Microsoft Graph Azure AD Reporting - Audits

Microsoft Graph Azure AD Reporting - Audits dashboard enables you to analyze the distribution of audit activities across resource categories, audit operations, and audit services. You can also view the distribution of user agents that perform audits and target resource types. This dashboard also highlights the most common reasons for activity failures. Additionally, it presents a summary of recent audit activities. Altogether this dashboard provides valuable insights into your organization's audit activity data.

Microsoft Graph Azure AD Reporting - Sign-Ins

Microsoft Graph Azure AD Reporting - Sign-Ins dashboard provides valuable insights into your organization's sign-in activity data over time. It displays the geographical locations of sign-in activities, including those from high-risk countries. You can also see the distribution of interactive users and the client apps used for sign-in activities. The dashboard also highlights the most frequently accessed resources. Risk analysis is provided by showing the distribution of risk states, risk levels, and risk event types. Additionally, the reasons for risk detection are displayed. The dashboard also provides visibility into recent sign-in activities, making it a useful tool for monitoring and managing your organization's security posture.

Microsoft Graph Azure AD Reporting - Provisioning Activities

Microsoft Graph Azure AD Reporting - Provisioning Activities dashboard provides valuable insights into all provisioning activities occurring in your account. It displays the average time for each provisioning activity and provides a distribution of provisioning activities by status, actions, and initiators. Additionally, you can view the most frequently used service principal during provisioning. The dashboard also gives you visibility into recent provisioning activities, making it a useful tool for monitoring and managing your organization's provisioning processes.
