Question

Hotspot Question You have an Azure Sentinel workspace that has the following data connectors: - Azure Active Directory Identity Protection - Common Event Format (CEF) - Azure Firewall You need to ensure that data is being ingested from each connector. From the Logs query window, which table should you query for each connector? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Answer:

Explanation

This question tests knowledge of which Log Analytics tables in Azure Sentinel store data from specific data connectors. Each connector ingests data into a specific predefined table that you must query to verify data ingestion.

Approach. For Azure Active Directory Identity Protection, the correct table is 'SecurityAlert' - AADIP sends security alerts (risky users, risky sign-ins) into the SecurityAlert table. For Common Event Format (CEF), the correct table is 'CommonSecurityLog' - CEF-formatted syslog data from third-party appliances and devices is stored in the CommonSecurityLog table. For Azure Firewall, the correct table is 'AzureDiagnostics' - Azure Firewall sends its diagnostic logs (network rules, application rules, threat intelligence) into the AzureDiagnostics table, filtered by ResourceType == 'AZUREFIREWALLS'.

Concept tested. Azure Sentinel data connector log tables: understanding which Log Analytics/Sentinel workspace table each data connector populates - SecurityAlert for AADIP, CommonSecurityLog for CEF connectors, and AzureDiagnostics for Azure native resource diagnostics like Azure Firewall.
