Ensure that Intune logs are captured and sent to Log Analytics

Description

Ensure that Intune logs are captured and fed into a central log analytics workspace.

Rationale

Intune includes built-in logs that provide information about your environments. Sending logs to a Log Analytics workspace enables centralized analysis, correlation, and alerting for faster threat detection and response.

Impact

A Microsoft Intune plan is required to access Intune. The amount of data logged and, thus, the cost incurred can vary significantly depending on the tenant size.

Audit Procedure

Using Azure Portal

1. Go to Intune.
2. Click Reports.
3. Under Azure monitor, click Diagnostic settings.
4. Next to each diagnostic setting, click Edit setting, and review the selected log categories and destination details.
5. Ensure that at least one diagnostic setting is configured to send the following logs to a Log Analytics workspace:
   • AuditLogs
   • OperationalLogs
   • DeviceComplianceOrg
   • Devices
   • Windows365AuditLogs

Expected Result

At least one Intune diagnostic setting should exist that sends AuditLogs, OperationalLogs, DeviceComplianceOrg, Devices, and Windows365AuditLogs to a Log Analytics workspace.
