19 TopicsIs there no way to get better support for Azure - esp for SEV A tickets
We have had a sev A ticket open for over 5 days, and are incurring thousands in losses every day, and despite assurances from the Azure Support that it is being solved in hours and then having confirmations that it is solved, the issue is still not solved. I have asked numerous times to get our teams in touch with actual microsoft employees, not front end contractors, who is more like level 1 support, and just running messages between customer and back end team, and really are powerless to handle any suport issues themselves, and they are on complete mercy of "other teams" yet as a customer, apparantly we cant even get on a call with these other teams, and the poor front end contractors are getting the brunt of our pain. Absolutely are in the dark, as to what is actually happening in the back end, other than "trust me bro" we are working on it. No eta, no explanation.. hard to fathom how this can go on like this181Views3likes6CommentsHow to Learn Microsoft Azure in 2020

You can also hunt for compliance logs for the security logs under advance hunting. 3) Custom Log ingestion - It allows you to send custom-format logs from any data source to your Log Analytics workspace, and store those logs either in certain specific standard tables, or in custom-formatted tables that you create. 4) View MITRE support - Microsoft Sentinel now provides a new MITRE page, which highlights the MITRE tactic and technique coverage you currently have, and can configure, for your organization. Select items from the Active menus at the top of the page to view the detections currently active in your workspace, and the simulated detections available for you to configure. 5) Restore archive logs from search - When you need to do a full investigation on data stored in archived logs, restore a table from the search page in Microsoft Sentinel. It Specifies a target table and time range for the data you want to restore. Within a few minutes, the log data is restored and available within the Log Analytics workspace. Thanks!!
