Documenting Office365 Configuration set for Tenant
Hello All,
I am in the process of documenting our entire O365 tenant so that we can maintain a baseline of our O365 infrastructure. I would like to collect some of the important points for Services configured under E3 plan.

I know get-organizationconfig will provide me the entire configuration about ORG. i would like to know like this which all are key components to document.
- The reports at https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Reports-in-the-Office-365-Security-Compliance-Center-7acd33ce-1ec8-49fb-b625-43bac7b58c5a and at https://support.office.com/en-us/article/View-and-download-reports-about-service-usage-in-Office-365-30E5558F-D3C0-4A3B-A0D5-58FC7750C0AD?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US should help you get started.
Screen shots are also very helpful, but have limited lifetime because the screens are changed by MS.
Given that MS changes the APIs without notice you will never be able to fully define a comprehensive detailed baseline. You need to determine which settings truly matter to your org and then you can use the reports above to audit any changes.

Also bear in mind Office 365 reports.
Hi folks - this is something I've been looking at too.
Scenario: an administrator makes a change to the Sharing outside your organisation setting, within the Sharing settings screen in the SharePoint admin center. I need to be able to determine the change that was made; if possible the previously configured state or value, and of course when.
Ideally, I'd like to document a baseline configuration and then gather activities from the audit log (either from Office 365 Security and Compliance, or though PowerShell remote session to Office 365 Admin API). Of course, what's not ideal, is that somebody has to manually click through the admin center once a month to determine if the current state matches the baseline.
How does one query the audit log for the setting mentioned in the above scenario?
Is there a better approach altogether that I'm missing?
Would love to know if you have solved this. I have been struggling with this for several weeks myself.
Could you please ellaborate more what do you exactly need so we can help you?
