1. Create ARM Resources and Provide the Required Permissions
This connector reads data from the tables that Zscaler uses in a Microsoft Analytics Workspace, if the Cloud NSS option is enabled in Zscaler then raw event data is sent to the Microsoft Sentinel Ingestion API.
Automated Configuration and Secure Data Ingestion with Entra Application
Clicking on "Deploy" will trigger the creation of Log Analytics tables and a Data Collection Rule (DCR). It will then create an Entra application, link the DCR to it, and set the entered secret in the application. This setup enables data to be sent securely to the DCR using an Entra token.
