Microsoft Sentinel

Prev Next

Important Update -

Microsoft deprecated the HTTP Data Collector API used by this integration. As a result:

  • New Microsoft Sentinel connectors cannot be created through Harmony SASE.

  • Existing connectors continue to function until mid-September 2025, after which they stop working.

Migrate to the export option available in the Infinity Portal. For more details, see Microsoft's announcement: Action Required: Transition from HTTP Data Collector API in Microsoft Sentinel.

Understanding Data Exporting to Microsoft Sentinel

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 Harmony SASE 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 Harmony SASE data stream to Microsoft Sentinel to have full visibility of your Harmony SASE activity.
