Used in Solutions	Box
Collection Method	Azure Function
Connector Definition Files	Box_API_FunctionApp.json

The Box data connector provides the capability to ingest Box enterprise's events into Microsoft Sentinel using the Box REST API. Refer to Box documentation for more information.

Tables Ingested

This connector ingests data into the following tables:

Table	Transformations	Ingestion API	Lake-Only
BoxEventsV2_CL	✓	✓	✓
BoxEvents_CL 🔶	✗	✓	✗

💡 Tip: Tables with Ingestion API support allow data ingestion via the Azure Monitor Data Collector API, which also enables custom transformations during ingestion.

Permissions

Resource Provider Permissions:

• Workspace (Workspace): read and write permissions on the workspace are required.
• Keys (Workspace): read permissions to shared keys for the workspace are required. See the documentation to learn more about workspace keys.

Custom Permissions:

• Microsoft.Web/sites permissions: Read and write permissions to Azure Functions to create a Function App is required. See the documentation to learn more about Azure Functions.
• Box API Credentials: Box config JSON file is required for Box REST API JWT authentication. See the documentation to learn more about JWT authentication.

Setup Instructions

⚠️ Note: These instructions were automatically generated from the connector's user interface definition file using AI and may not be fully accurate. Please verify all configuration steps in the Microsoft Sentinel portal.

NOTE: This connector uses Azure Functions to connect to the Box REST API to pull logs into Microsoft Sentinel. This might result in additional data ingestion costs. Check the Azure Functions pricing page for details.

(Optional Step) Securely store workspace and API authorization key(s) or token(s) in Azure Key Vault. Azure Key Vault provides a secure mechanism to store and retrieve key values. Follow these instructions to use Azure Key Vault with an Azure Function App.

NOTE: This connector depends on a parser based on Kusto Function to work as expected BoxEvents which is deployed with the Microsoft Sentinel Solution.

STEP 1 - Configuration of the Box events collection

See documentation to setup JWT authentication and obtain JSON file with credentials.

STEP 2 - Choose ONE from the following two deployment options to deploy the connector and the associated Azure Function

IMPORTANT: Before deploying the Box data connector, have the Workspace ID and Workspace Primary Key (can be copied from the following), as well as the Box JSON configuration file, readily available.

• Workspace ID: WorkspaceId

  Note: The value above is dynamically provided when these instructions are presented within Microsoft Sentinel.

• Primary Key: PrimaryKey

  Note: The value above is dynamically provided when these instructions are presented within Microsoft Sentinel.

Option 1 - Azure Resource Manager (ARM) Template

Use this method for automated deployment of the Box data connector using an ARM Tempate.

1. Click the Deploy to Azure button below.

   

2. Select the preferred Subscription, Resource Group and Location.

3. Enter the AzureSentinelWorkspaceId, AzureSentinelSharedKey, BoxConfigJSON

4. Mark the checkbox labeled I agree to the terms and conditions stated above.

5. Click Purchase to deploy.

Option 2 - Manual Deployment of Azure Functions

Use the following step-by-step instructions to deploy the Box data connector manually with Azure Functions (Deployment via Visual Studio Code). Step 1 - Deploy a Function App

1. Download the [Azure Function App](https://aka.ms/sentinel-BoxDataConnector-functionapp) file. Extract archive to your local development computer.

2. Follow the function app manual deployment instructions to deploy the Azure Functions app using VSCode.

3. After successful deployment of the function app, follow next steps for configuring it.

   Step 2 - Configure the Function App

   1. Go to Azure Portal for the Function App configuration.

4. In the Function App, select the Function App Name and select Configuration.

5. In the Application settings tab, select + New application setting.

6. Add each of the following application settings individually, with their respective string values (case-sensitive): AzureSentinelWorkspaceId AzureSentinelSharedKey BOX_CONFIG_JSON logAnalyticsUri (optional)

5. Once all application settings have been entered, click Save.

• Use logAnalyticsUri to override the log analytics API endpoint for dedicated cloud. For example, for public cloud, leave the value empty; for Azure GovUS cloud environment, specify the value in the following format: https://<CustomerId>.ods.opinsights.azure.us.
