The Azure Audit app allows you to collect data from the Azure Activity Log (formerly known as Azure Audit logs) and monitor the health of your Azure environment. This app provides preconfigured dashboards that allow you to monitor active directory activity, resource usage, service health, and user activity.

## Log type

The Azure Audit app uses the following log:

* [Azure Activity Log](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/activity-log?tabs=powershell)

## Collecting logs for the Azure Audit app from Event Hub

In this step, you configure a pipeline for shipping logs from [Azure Monitor](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/monitoring-and-diagnostics/monitoring-get-started) to an Event Hub. 

1. To set up the logs collection in Sumo Logic, refer to [Azure Event Hubs Source for Logs](/docs/send-data/collect-from-other-data-sources/azure-monitoring/ms-azure-event-hubs-source/).
    
    When you configure the event hubs source, plan your source category to ease the querying process. A hierarchical approach allows you to make use of wildcards. For example: `Azure/AzureActivity/Logs`.

2. Push logs from Azure Monitor to Event Hub.
    1. In the search bar, search, and select **Activity Log**.
    1. In the **Activity Log** window, click **Export Activity Logs**.<br/><img src={useBaseUrl('img/integrations/microsoft-azure/export-activity-log.png')} style={{border: '1px solid gray'}} alt="Activity log" width="800"/>
    1. Select the log type in **Category details** that you want to ingest.
    1. Select the **Stream to an event hub** checkbox and then select the following:
        * **Subscription**. Select a subscription.
        * **Event hub namespace**. Select the namespace.
        * **Event hub name (optional)**. Select the hub name.
        * **Event hub policy name**. Leave the default policy, **RootManageSharedAccessKey**, or select another as desired.

    1. Click **Save.**

## Installing the Azure Audit app

Now that you have set up collection from the Azure Activity Log (previously known as Azure Audit logs), install the Azure Audit app to use the preconfigured searches and dashboards that provide insight into your data.
