dlazarov - According to that article, the Office 365 audit log is part of the overall Azure audit log.

 

"As previously stated, Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is the directory service for Office 365. The unified audit log contains user, group, application, domain, and directory activities performed in the Office 365 admin center or in the in Azure management portal. For a complete list of Azure AD events, see Azure Active Directory Audit Report Events."

 

The unified audit log is defined as:

"Need to find if a user viewed a specific document or purged an item from their mailbox? If so, you can use the Office 365 Protection Center to search the unified audit log to view user and administrator activity in your Office 365 organization. Why a unified audit log? Because you can search for the following types of user and admin activity in Office 365:

  • User activity in SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business

  • User activity in Exchange Online (Exchange mailbox audit logging)

  • Admin activity in SharePoint Online

  • Admin activity in Azure Active Directory (the directory service for Office 365)

  • Admin activity in Exchange Online (Exchange admin audit logging)"

 

So, your unified audit log should have everything from both Office 365 and Azure.

 

Have you gone through this article?

Incorrect!   You can NOT view Office 365 Audit Logs in Power BI. Stop providing false information to users.

 

Please stop spreading false information. You can NOT use Power BI with Office 365 Audit Logs.

 

In order to use Azure Audit logs in Power BI you must provide a subscription ID.  There is NO subscription ID for Office 365 Services in Azure.

    Hello lcasey,

     

    Would you know by any chance if Microsoft intends to provide a connector for Power BI to connect to the Office 365 Audit Logs ? Because it is exactly what I need for my customer (and I guess I'm not the only one :) ).

     

    Is there any other way to feed Power BI with live data from the Office 365 Audit Logs ?

     

    Cheers,

     

    Gael

      I dont know if Microsoft will provide direct access to the Office 365 Audit Logs.   I can only donload the results and then anaylize in Power BI

       

      I would imagine that one day Microsoft would provide a full Office 365 Power BI connector.
