Source types for the Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Cloud Services

The Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Cloud Services provides the index-time and search-time knowledge for Microsoft Cloud Services data in the following formats:

Note

The ms:o365:management source type is for backward compatibility. A similar source type, o365:management:activity, is in the Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Office 365.
