InTrust Knowledge Pack for Azure Technical Preview

InTrust Knowledge Pack for Azure Technical Preview

R&D is proud to release a piece of InTrust technology which is currently in the making.

Cloud IaaS becoming a more prominent part of the everyday life of IT admins nowadays, so we are working on the capability to collect event data from that infrastructure.

In the technical preview, we’ve added log collection for Azure IaaS and Azure IaaS VMs. Namely, this preview can collect the following:

  • Windows OS Native Event Logs from Guest OS – the agent is begin deployed automatically, events are being streamed via Azure Blob Storage
  • Azure Activity Log streamed into the Azure Event Hub (the name of the hub will be insights-operational-logs)
  • Azure Resource/Diagnostic Log streamed into the Azure Event Hub (name of the hub will be defined by your diagnostic logging configuration)

You can download the Technical Preview from the support site
