How do I configure Azure Sentinel Data Connections?

To configure Azure Sentinel data connections, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Azure Sentinel workspace in the Azure portal.
  2. Click on the “Data connectors” tab on the left-hand menu.
  3. Click the “Add data connector” button, and select the type of data source you want to connect to.
  4. Provide the necessary configuration details for the data source, such as the source address, protocol, port, and authentication details.
  5. Customize the data ingestion process by defining filters and transformations to ensure that only relevant data is collected.
  6. Test the connection by clicking the “Test connection” button.
  7. Save the data connector configuration by clicking the “Save” button.
  8. Repeat steps 3-7 for each data source you want to connect to.

Once you have configured your data connections, you can start ingesting security data into Azure Sentinel. Azure Sentinel provides a range of tools and features to help you analyze and respond to security threats, including pre-built detection rules, machine learning models, and customizable dashboards and workbooks.

Note that the configuration process may vary depending on the specific data connector you are configuring. Some connectors may require additional configuration steps or permissions, and you may need to refer to the documentation provided by the data source vendor for more detailed instructions.
