What’s New: Livestream for Azure Sentinel is now released for General Availability

What is Azure Sentinel Livestream? 


 


Livestream lets you run queries that refresh every 30 seconds and notifies you of any new results.  Creating a livestream enables you to (1) test newly created queries as events occur, (2) receive notifications from a session when a match is found, (3) promote a livestream to a detection rule to generate incidents in the future, (4) quickly launch investigations if necessary. You can quickly create a livestream session using any Log Analytics query.


 


How do I get started?


 


Create a livestream session:


In the Azure portal, navigate to Sentinel > Threat management > Hunting.


Select the Livestream tab.


Select “+ New livestream” to start a new livestream.

Query:


SecurityEvent


|where EventID == 4625


 


In this query we’re asking Azure Sentinel to stream all Windows login events in this workspace where the event ID = 4625 (that’s for when an account fails to log on). As you can see, we’re getting a lot of events here, and they’re being updated every 30 seconds by the live stream.


 


Quickly launch an investigation:


Quickly launch an investigation in the investigation graph directly from your livestream by selecting creating a bookmark directly from livestream.

Create a new detection:


 


If you detect there is a change in the threshold of your baseline environment activities as monitored by livestream, select the “Create analytics rule” to promote your livestream query to a detection analytic rule, enabling the generation of incidents so you are prepared to respond in the future.
