The Elastic Agent data connector provides the capability to ingest Elastic Agent logs, metrics, and security data into Microsoft Sentinel.
Tables Ingested
This connector ingests data into the following tables:
| Table | Transformations | Ingestion API | Lake-Only |
|---|---|---|---|
ElasticAgentLogs_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 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: - Include custom pre-requisites if the connectivity requires - else delete customs: Description for any custom pre-requisite
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 data connector depends on a parser based on a Kusto Function to work as expected ElasticAgentEvent which is deployed with the Microsoft Sentinel Solution.
NOTE: This data connector has been developed using Elastic Agent 7.14.
1. Install and onboard the agent for Linux or Windows
Install the agent on the Server where the Elastic Agent logs are forwarded.
Logs from Elastic Agents deployed on Linux or Windows servers are collected by Linux or Windows agents. Choose where to install the Linux agent:
Install agent on Azure Linux Virtual Machine
Select the machine to install the agent on and then click Connect. - Install agent on Linux Virtual Machine
Install agent on a non-Azure Linux Machine
Download the agent on the relevant machine and follow the instructions. - Install agent on Linux (Non-Azure)
Choose where to install the Windows agent:
Install agent on Azure Windows Virtual Machine
Select the machine to install the agent on and then click Connect. - Install/configure: InstallAgentOnVirtualMachine
Install agent on a non-Azure Windows Machine
Download the agent on the relevant machine and follow the instructions. - Install/configure: InstallAgentOnNonAzure
2. Configure Elastic Agent (Standalone)
Follow the instructions to configure Elastic Agent to output to Logstash
3. Configure Logstash to use Microsoft Logstash Output Plugin
Follow the steps to configure Logstash to use microsoft-logstash-output-azure-loganalytics plugin:
3.1) Check if the plugin is already installed:
./logstash-plugin list | grep 'azure-loganalytics' (if the plugin is installed go to step 3.3)
3.2) Install plugin:
./logstash-plugin install microsoft-logstash-output-azure-loganalytics
3.3) Configure Logstash to use the plugin
4. Validate log ingestion
Follow the instructions to validate your connectivity:
Open Log Analytics to check if the logs are received using custom table specified in step 3.3 (e.g. ElasticAgentLogs_CL).
It may take about 30 minutes until the connection streams data to your workspace.
