The NXLog DNS Logs data connector uses Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) for collecting both Audit and Analytical DNS Server events. The NXLog im_etw module reads event tracing data directly for maximum efficiency, without the need to capture the event trace into an .etl file. This REST API connector can forward DNS Server events to Microsoft Sentinel in real time.
Tables Ingested
This connector ingests data into the following tables:
| Table | Transformations | Ingestion API | Lake-Only |
|---|---|---|---|
NXLog_DNS_Server_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.
Setup Instructions
