You can ship logs available from Azure Security Center via the Microsoft Graph APIs with Logzio-MSGraph. Logzio-MSGraph is a self-hosted application.

Logzio-MSGraph currently supports the following Azure Security Center APIs:

  • Alerts

There are many other APIs available through Microsoft Graph. If you don’t see your API in the list, please open an issue at GitHub to request it.

To integrate Microsoft Graph and Logz.io

Register a new app in Azure Active Directory

In the Azure portal, go to App registration and select New registration from the top menu.

Name your app and click Register.

Create a client secret

Choose Certificates & secrets from the side menu, and click on New client secret.

Add a Description. We recommend something specific, such as “secret for Logzio-MSGraph integration”.

In the Expires list, choose Never.

Click Add.

Copy the value of the generated secret to your text editor. You’ll need this later.

You won’t be able to retrieve the secret’s value after you leave this page.

Set the app’s permissions

Choose API permissions from the side menu, and click Add a permission.

Select Microsoft Graph > Application permissions.

Select this item:

  • SecurityEvents.Read.All

Click Add permissions.

Click Grant admin consent for Default Directory, and then click Yes to confirm.

Only Azure administrators can grant consent for Default Directory. If the Grant admin consent button is disabled, ask your Azure admin to update the setting for you.

Download and run Logzio-MSGraph

You can launch Logzio-MSGraph in a Docker container or as a standalone Java app.

In a Docker container:

docker run -d -v $(pwd)/logzio-msgraph-config.yaml:/config.yaml logzio/logzio-msgraph

Or to run as a standalone Java app, download the latest jar from the release page. Then run:

java -jar logzio-msgraph.jar logzio-msgraph-config.yaml

Logs collected by this integration will have the type Microsoft-Graph

Check Logz.io for your logs

Give your logs some time to get from your system to ours, and then open Open Search Dashboards.
