Monitoring onpremises vpn activity
If you know the name of the Event log from Event Viewer, then add it into here "enter the name of an eventlog to monitor" field.

Assuming the server has the MMA on it (Windows Agent), then you will see entries flowing into the Events table (after a while) - if not please add the agent https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/platform/agent-windows
CliveWatson thanks for your info, I'll try this solutions asap.
What about reporting? I know I'll be able to work in some ways with collected data. There is any pre-configured report generator (such as pdf or html) I can use to send scheduled report to management?
Have any suggestion on documentation I can refer to?
Many thanks!
Typically with Log Analytics there are two or three choices:
1. Give the manager Log Analytics read access, and the queries to run, probably not the best idea
2. Create a Azure Monitor Workbook - share that with Management and they can refresh that whenever they wish (they will need query access, but allows them to get the data when required in a nice format)
3. Use a Scheduled Logic App.
- Is use this a lot, set the Recurrence to once a week or whatever is required.
- Run the Query
- Send them an Email
Advantage is they need no access, but there isn't an ad-hoc option
This is my one I use each week, it starts at midnight on Friday and emails two graphs to me
