  • Last update on November 20th, 2024

The Audit section is only available as an add-on. Please contact your CSM to learn more.

 

Audit reports act as an exhaustive repository of Audit data, chronicling user activities across a range of platforms such as SharePoint, Exchange, Threat Intelligence, Entra ID, Teams, Power BI, OneDrive, Active Directory, and CoreView. The Audit data is downloaded from the Microsoft unified log.

This functionality becomes available once you agree to Microsoft API sharing during your subscription activation. The collection of Audit information commences from the day of subscription activation.
