Issues getting logs from Microsoft Log Analytics Add-on

kforr74 — Thu, 11 Jul 2019 13:18:32 GMT

Hoping you can help me @jkat54. We are working with the Azure team on testing the pull of log from the Cloud to one of their standalone Search Heads. They provided the inputs from Azure (Workspace ID, Subscription, Tenant, etc) with the exception of the Log Analytics query. Is that something they are supposed to define or set and provide to us, or something we are just supposed to define for searching? I just put SecurityBaseline in there because it is required, but get nothing. I have tried SecurityEvent as well and a few other examples in the documentation. Also, what would you recommend we set for the Interval and Start Date to test?

Tons of errors for me, with almost every query I put In here

See this:

https://answers.splunk.com/answers/700795/v103-seeing-a-get-error-when-collecting-events.html

tested with several other searches - and all fail when requesting SecurityEvent - eg :

 SecurityEvent
 | top 10 by TimeGenerated

fails - and

 AzureActivity
 | top 10 by TimeGenerated

writes to index

I recommend whatever suites you for start date and interval.

Just note that azure storage underneath this is "eventual consistency", and that's why we added the lag to it.

Most users have reported lag of 15 - 30 minutes works well with intervals of 15 or 30 minutes.

Thanks @jkat54 The errors have reduces when I use
AzureActivity
top 10 by TimeGenerated
as the query, however, I am still receiving errors and nothing in the index yet:

@jaxjohnny2000 got his working by using the workspace ID, you're already using the ID. Have you tried using the name instead?

Hello,

As per our emails we found that the app is hardcoded for the non-Goverment Azure cloud, and you need the Gov Cloud version of the API instead.

In short you need to use this API:

api.loganalytics.us

and the app is trying to use this API:

api.loganalytics.io

To fix this you'll have to modify code in the app.

Please modify TA-ms-loganalytics\bin\input_module_log_analytics.py as follows:

LINE 45:        resource  = 'https://api.loganalytics.io/'

Becomes (not actually used in the code that i see, but you can still update it)

LINE 45:        resource  = 'https://api.loganalytics.us/'

And

LINE 49:        token_response = context.acquire_token_with_client_credentials('https://api.loganalytics.io/', application_id, application_key)

Becomes

Line 49:        token_response = context.acquire_token_with_client_credentials('https://api.loganalytics.us/', application_id, application_key)

And

LINE 59:        uri_base = 'https://api.loganalytics.io/'

Becomes:

LINE 59:        uri_base = 'https://api.loganalytics.us/'

For simplicity, i have updated the code and hosted it on pastebin so you can just copy and replace:
