Microsoft Azure collector

Microsoft Azure collector

Purpose

The Microsoft Azure collector gets data from Azure cloud computing services. Common uses are:

  • Detect malicious Entra ID authentication

  • Detect malicious role, policy, and group changes impacting cloud infrastructure

  • Correlate risky users identified by Entra ID with data you have in Devo

  • Detect malicious Application Gateway traffic

  • Detect failures and measure costs of virtual machines

 

Run It

The Azure Collector has two services:

  • VM Metrics, for Virtual Machines

  • Event Hub, for everything else in Azure

These services should be enabled in separate collector instances.
