Working with generic Office 365 and Azure Active Directory events

The Azure Active Directory audit reports and the Office 365 audit logs are continuously evolving. To ensure that Change Auditor is synchronized with these updates, generic events have been introduced. Each Azure AD and Office 365 facility in Change Auditor has one generic event defined.

The generic event is generated each time an activity occurs that does not have a corresponding event defined in Change Auditor. For example, “Azure Active Directory - User event” is generated when activities such as “Reset password (self-service)” or “Unlock user account” are performed in Azure Active Directory. Activity information is populated in additional columns and the description for the event (What statement) is dynamically constructed based upon the Azure AD/Office 365 activity and target object name.

When working with these events, you can add additional columns to the search layout to view information about the activity.

Table 8. Available columns
Layout Tab
Search Column Name
Description

Azure - Activity Name/Operation

Activity Name/Operation

Represents the activity that was performed as part of the event.

For sign-in risk events, this shows the risk event type.

Provides additional information about audited activity.

For example:

•
For ‘Self-serve password reset flow activity progress’, it shows what step the user is performing.
•
For sign-in events it shows why the sign-in failed.

For sign-in risk events, this shows the risk event status.

For a complete list of the activities available see the Microsoft support article “Audit activity reports in the Azure Active Directory portal” and “Search the audit log in the Office 365 Security & Compliance Center”.
