Azure Activity Data Connector
Hi All,
My organization is currently working to stand up Sentinel and we are implementing our data connectors. However, we are unable to enable the Azure Activity data connector. All policies are written correctly and should be sending to Sentinel, but it is saying not connected.
Any recommendations?

You can manually export the Activity Log to Log Analytics. This is what the remediate task does.

tungdra I've noticed that during deployment Azure have created Remediation task for Azure Activity connector along with service principal and rights in log analytics + subscription right in IAM.
Do you think it can be removed? Or data ingestion will stop after removal?

How long have you waited so far, it can sometimes take an hour or more?
Have you actually checked to see if data is being sent - I've seen cases where its shown as "not connected" but you do get data?
- Smittydude8822Copper ContributorWe've attempted to do this a few times over the past few weeks with no success. We've put the policy in place and waited over the period of time that has been suggested, but still no connection.
- Clive_WatsonBronze ContributorDid you do the remediation task ok? There is a step by step walkthrough here:

- Smittydude8822Copper ContributorHi All,
I am looking to get away from the legacy method and connect via the new method. Does anyone know what permissions are needed for the policy to take affect? I have written the policy, but the logs are not being sent over and ingested by Sentinel.
