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.
1. Create ARM Resources and Provide the Required Permissions
This connector reads data from the tables that Obsidian Datasharing uses in a Microsoft Analytics Workspace, if the data forwarding option is enabled in Obsidian Datasharing 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.
