Understanding Data Exporting to Microsoft Sentinal
This article describes how to set up and use Microsoft Sentinel (formerly Azure Sentinel). It is a scalable, cloud-native, security information event management (SIEM) and security orchestration automated response (SOAR) solution that integrates with the Perimeter 81 platform. Azure Sentinel delivers intelligent security analytics and threat intelligence across the enterprise, providing a single solution for alert detection, threat visibility, proactive hunting, and threat response. You can configure your Perimeter 81 data stream to Microsoft Sentinel to have full visibility of your Perimeter 81 activity.
Setting up a Log Analytics workspace

- Select Create a new workspace.
- Fill in the following information:
- Subscription: Choose a subscription according to your business's needs.
- Resource group: Associate the log analytics workspace with the appropriate business unit.

Finding your Log Analytics workspace ID and primary key

Recommendations
- When setting up the integration with Microsoft Sentinel, ensure that you have the correct Log Analytics Workspace ID and Primary Key.
