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.

Note

The Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Cloud Services only supports native ingestion for specifically listed source types. Other formats, including VNet Flow Logs, require generic ingestion methods or engagement with OnDemand Services or Professional Services.
