Non-native telemetry into Microsoft SentinelPrivate Enterprise Work

Sentinel Log Ingestion

Log ingestion for non-native sources in Microsoft Sentinel, including Palo Alto firewall syslog via CEF.

Overview

Log ingestion for non-native sources in Microsoft Sentinel, including Palo Alto firewall syslog via CEF.

Problem

Security telemetry that Sentinel does not natively understand still has to land in useful tables for detection work.

Architecture

An architecture diagram is not included because implementation details are not documented in the portfolio data.

What I Built

  • Built log ingestion pipelines in Microsoft Sentinel via DCRs, custom tables, and schemas for non-native telemetry
  • Architected a syslog pipeline for Palo Alto firewall logs via CEF forwarding with severity-based filtering
  • Validated ingestion accuracy via KQL schema checks and cross-source correlation in Log Analytics

Technical Challenges

Security telemetry that Sentinel does not natively understand still has to land in useful tables for detection work.
