Hi all, I have a big problem with my customer.

I try to get message trace logs from Azure for O365, following the Splunk doc, my account have all 3 roles:

Exchange Administrator 

Global Administrator 

Global Reader role

In my lab Splunk I try to trouble shoot by _internal and I have this. Any one know why and how to fix this?
