This playbook is triggered automatically when an IP entity is detected in a Microsoft Sentinel incident, based on an automation rule. Upon triggering, it extracts the IP address from the entity and queries the Censys API (v3) to retrieve detailed host information including geolocation (continent, country, city, coordinates), autonomous system details (ASN, BGP prefix), WHOIS data (network, organization, contacts), services, and DNS information. The playbook retrieves the Censys API token securel

Summary

This playbook is triggered automatically when an IP entity is detected in a Microsoft Sentinel incident, based on an automation rule. Upon triggering, it extracts the IP address from the entity and queries the Censys API (v3) to retrieve detailed host information including geolocation (continent, country, city, coordinates), autonomous system details (ASN, BGP prefix), WHOIS data (network, organization, contacts), services, and DNS information. The playbook retrieves the Censys API token securely from Azure Key Vault, performs the API call with retry logic (up to 3 attempts) and comprehensive error handling for HTTP status codes (200, 401, 403, 404, 422). Upon successful data retrieval, the host data is ingested into Azure Log Analytics (CensysHost_CL table) for historical analysis and reporting. The playbook then retrieves the associated incident and invokes the CensysIncidentEnrichment sub-playbook to add the enrichment data as a comment to the incident. If no incident is associated, the playbook terminates successfully after data ingestion.
