Available reports
Pre-built reports
Configuration Manager provides default compliance and change detection reports as a starting point for monitoring your environment.
These are:
- Baseline Compliance Report: compare tenants with their associated baselines and allows for drilling down into specific configurations and properties
- Summary of Detected Changes: track modifications across your tenants
Custom reports and alerts
You can leverage Log Analytics for tailored queries, create custom Power BI reports using the Configuration Manager Sync dataset and set up custom alerts for proactive monitoring.
Using the Configuration Manager Sync dataset, you can create custom reports to track configurations and changes across tenants or focus on particular aspects of your infrastructure. This dataset allows you to set up specific queries to monitor areas of interest, such as changes in access policies, configuration modifications, or changes within individual tenants. Configuration Manager provides sample queries for common scenarios, like tracking Conditional Access policy changes, to help you get started.
For proactive monitoring, you can transform Log Analytics queries into alerting rules. These custom alerts enable real-time notifications, allowing you to set up automated actions based on specific conditions or create support tickets in integrated third-party systems when critical changes occur.
