Azure Active Directory Audit Log Reports

Azure Active Directory Audit Log Reports enable you to scan the consolidated log database for specific entries. This report is typically used by compliance and audit professionals to audit Azure Active Directory Audit Logs.

Azure Active Directory Audit Log Reports optionally use Regular Expressions to parse log entries, extract values, then finally filter entries using Azure Active Directory Audit Log Filters. This report is supported on all locales.

    This report requires users to explicitly assign each log to include in the report.

  • Columns

• Use the Filters drop-down to select all of the filters you would like to apply to the report.

  To target specific columns (e.g. New Logon Account Name), create a Complex Azure AD Audit Log Filter then, create a new Attribute Value Pair Criteria, specify the column's key (e.g. USER) then, specify the account name or regular expression to target.

  Option	Description
  All	Include each entry that passes all assigned filters.
  Any	Include each entry that passes any filter.
  None	Include each entry that does not pass any of the filters.
