# Log Analytics XDR

Log Analytics XDR enhances security operations by aggregating and analyzing logs from multiple sources to detect, investigate, and respond to threats in real time. By leveraging advanced analytics and automation, it provides deep visibility into security events, enabling proactive threat detection and faster incident response. For detailed information, please refer to the [Microsoft’s official documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/logs/log-analytics-overview).

**Integration Method:** API

**Tables**: Detection Finding (2004)

This integration supports the following type of events.

| **Event** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| Alerts | Retrieve a list of alerts. |

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:**
> 
> Azure Log Analytics XDR is a continuously updated cloud service. As for this document preparation, the latest release was in [January 2025](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-xdr/whats-new#february-2025).

## Prerequisites

- The user should have access to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com/) with an account that has the Global Administrator privileges.
- The user should have access to the DataBee console.

## Configuration Overview

1. [Create Microsoft Sentinel resource group and workspace](/user-manual/docs/log-analytics-xdr#create-microsoft-sentinel-resource-group-and-workspace).
2. [Configure Microsoft defender XDR](/user-manual/docs/log-analytics-xdr#configure-microsoft-defender-xdr).
3. [Create an application](/user-manual/docs/log-analytics-xdr#create-an-application) with required permissions to fetch the data.
4. Create [Log Analytics XDR Data Feed](/user-manual/docs/log-analytics-xdr#databee-configuration) in the DataBee console with the required Client credentials.

| **DataBee Parameter** | **Azure Parameter** |
| --- | --- |
| Client Key | Application (client) ID |
| Client Secret | Client Secret Value |
| Token URL(<application_id>) | Directory (Tenant) ID |

## Azure Configuration

- DataBee needs to connect to an Azure monitor log analytics API endpoint which retrieves a list of all AlertInfo and AlertEvidence generated on Azure Monitor.
- Integration uses KQL queries. The workspace needs to have the “AlertInfo” and “AlertEvidence” tables.
- To ingest data into workspace’s tables, set up the “Defender XDR” connector in Microsoft Sentinel, use Content Hub for same. Note that “Microsoft Defender” should have data otherwise you need to generate data for “AlertInfo” and “AlertEvidence” tables.

## Create Microsoft Sentinel Resource Group and Workspace

#### Add Permissions

From the Azure Active Directory portal:

1. Select the application registered in the previous step.
2. Under **Manage,** click **API Permissions** and then click **Add a Permission,** the “Request API permissions” window will appear.

## Troubleshooting Tips

- If you are facing an **invalid client** or **unauthorized client** error this might be possibly due to incorrect credentials. Ensure the client key, client secret and Tenant ID are pasted correctly. Since you cannot view the client secret after the 1st time, re-create it, paste it on a text editor to ensure no spaces or unexpected characters are included and reconfigure the DataBee feed.
- If you are facing response code **403** this might be possibly due to missing permissions. Ensure that all the required permissions are granted correctly as per the above-mentioned steps.
