Managing a Microsoft Sentinel integration

Managing a Microsoft Sentinel integration

To send the rich events gathered by Change Auditor to Microsoft Sentinel, you need to create an event subscription with Change Auditor. The subscription contains information about where to send the notifications and heartbeats and the event subsystems to include.

* 
NOTE: When enabled, heartbeat notifications are sent to the Heartbeat_ChangeAuditor_CL log in Microsoft Sentinel where you can query and alert on them if required.

The following Azure Log Analytics KQL query example, returns a list of servers missing heartbeats in the last 10 minutes where the servers have been active at some point in the last 24 hours.

Heartbeat_ChangeAuditor_CL
| where timeSent_t >= ago(24h)
| project timeSent_t, sender_s
| order by timeSent_t desc
| partition by sender_s ( top 1 by timeSent_t )
| where timeSent_t < ago(10m)
| project sender_s

* 
NOTE: The Workspace ID and the secret keys (Primary and Secondary) can be found in Settings on the Agents management page for the Log Analytics workspace configured for Microsoft Sentinel (Azure Portal).
5
Click Next to select the events to forward based on subsystem and event date. Once the subscription is created the starting event date and time cannot be changed.
•
By default, events start sending after the subscription is created. To change when to begin sending events, click Send events starting from and select the desired date and time.
•
Select the subsystems to include in the subscription.

New-CASentinelEventSubscription

Use this command to create the subscription required to send Change Auditor event data to Microsoft Sentinel.

 

Table 2. Available parameters

Parameter
Description

-WorkspaceID

The unique identifier for the Log Analytics workspace that has been enabled for Microsoft Sentinel.

-SecretKey

The primary or secondary key for the Log Analytics workspace that has been enabled for Microsoft Sentinel.

-Subsystems (Optional)

Specifies an array of event subsystems from which to send events. This can be single or multiple subsystems.

NOTE:  
•
If not specified, the default is to send events for all subsystems.
•
To obtain an array of subsystems, use the Get-CAEventExportSubsystems command and filter the list to specify the required subsystems.

-StartTime (Optional)

Specifies date and time from which events should be sent. The default is to start sending events from the time when the subscription is created.

For example:

•
20 July, 2020 12:01 PM uses local time
•
2020-07-20 12:10:00Z uses UTC time

-BatchSize (Optional)

Specifies the maximum number of events to include in a single notification. The default is 6500 events.

-Enabled (Optional)

Specifies whether the subscription is enabled or disabled. By default it is enabled.

-NotificationInterval (Optional)

Specifies how often (in milliseconds) notifications are sent to Microsoft Sentinel. By default this is set to 0 which results in a continuous stream of events.

-HeartbeatInterval (Optional)

Specifies how often (in milliseconds) heartbeat notifications are sent to the Heartbeat URL. Heartbeat notifications are sent to the Heartbeat_ChangeAuditor_CL log in Microsoft Sentinel where you can query and alert on them if required. By default, this is set to 0 (disabled).

-AllowedCoordinators (Optional)

Specifies the DNS or NetBIOS name of the coordinators permitted to send events. By default, any coordinator can send the events.

NOTE: The list order does not determine which coordinator is selected to send events.

-IncludeO365AADDetails (Optional)

Specifies whether to include the raw JSON event details provided by Microsoft. When set to true, the event will include fields prefixed with additionalDetails, containing the values from the raw JSON string for Office 365 and Azure Active Directory events. When set to false, the additionalDetails field is not included.

By default, this is set to false.

Example: Create a subscription to send all subsystems event data to Microsoft Sentinel

New-CASentinelEventSubscription -Connection $connection -WorkspaceID $workspaceID -SecretKey $secretKey -StartTime $dtStartTime -Subsystems $allowedSubsystems -AllowedCoordinators $allowedCoordinators

Get-CASentinelEventSubscriptions

Use this command to see the details of the current Microsoft Sentinel subscriptions.
