I'd like to monitor setting change at a tenant level in SPO .
Get-SPOTenant retreive me some nice data :
IsWBFluidEnabled : True
IsCollabMeetingNotesFluidEnabled : True
IsLoopEnabled : True

If there a smart way to access this kind of information in Powershell ?

Hi demipoulpe,
the `Get-SPOTenant` cmdlet doesn't provide the details of who made tenant changes and when. To get this information, you'll need to use PowerShell and the Microsoft 365 audit logs.
1: Connect to Microsoft 365 Security & Compliance Center
First, open PowerShell and connect to the Microsoft 365 Security & Compliance Center. You'll need to install and import the required modules if you haven't already. This is done to access the audit logs:
# Install the required module Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement # Import the module Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement # Connect to Microsoft 365 Security & Compliance Center Connect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName <your_admin_account>
* Replace `<your_admin_account>` with your actual admin account.
2: Search for Audit Log Entries
use the `Search-UnifiedAuditLog` cmdlet to search for audit log entries related to SharePoint Online tenant setting changes. You can specify a date range and filter for specific events. For example, to look for SharePoint admin activities in the last 7 days:
$startDate = (Get-Date).AddDays(-7) $endDate = Get-Date $auditLogEntries = Search-UnifiedAuditLog -StartDate $startDate -EndDate $endDate -Operations "SharePoint Settings" -ResultSize Unlimited
3: Retrieve Details
Once you have the audit log entries, you can extract information about who made the changes and when. Here's how to do it:
foreach ($entry in $auditLogEntries) { $details = $entry.Details | ConvertFrom-Json $user = $details.UserId $timestamp = $entry.CreationDate Write-Host "User: $($user.UserKey)" Write-Host "Timestamp: $($timestamp)" }
This code loops through the audit log entries, extracting user information and time for each change.
