The Microsoft Defender XDR integration allows you to monitor Alert, Incident (Microsoft Graph Security API), Event (Streaming API) Logs, and Vulnerability (Microsoft Defender for Endpoint API) Logs. Microsoft Defender XDR is a unified pre and post-breach enterprise defense suite that natively coordinates detection, prevention, investigation, and response across endpoints, identities, email, and applications to provide integrated protection against sophisticated attacks.

The integration works by collecting data from the Microsoft Azure Event Hub, Microsoft Graph Security REST API, and the Microsoft Defender Endpoint API.

For a demo, refer to the following video (click to view).

The Microsoft Defender XDR integration collects logs for four types of events: Alerts, Events, Incidents, and Vulnerabilities.

Incidents: This data streams uses the Microsoft Graph Security API's /security/incidents endpoint to ingest a collection of correlated alert instances and associated metadata that reflects the story of an attack in Microsoft Defender XDR. Incidents stemming from Microsoft Defender XDR, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Defender for Office 365, Microsoft Defender for Identity, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, and Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention are supported by this integration. This is recommended over Alerts because it fetches correlated incidents including all associated alerts and evidence.

Alerts: This data streams uses the Microsoft Graph Security API's /security/alerts_v2 endpoint to collect alerts including suspicious activities in a customer's tenant that Microsoft or partner security providers have identified and flagged for action. Incidents is recommended over Alerts if you want to fetch correlated incidents including all associated alerts and evidence.

Events: This data stream uses the Microsoft Defender XDR Streaming API to collect Alert, Device, Email, App and Identity Events. Events are streamed to an Azure Event Hub. For a list of supported events exposed by the Streaming API and supported by Elastic's integration, please refer to Microsoft's documentation here.

Vulnerabilities: This data stream uses the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint API's /api/machines/SoftwareVulnerabilityChangesByMachine delta endpoint to collect vulnerability change events (new, updated, and fixed vulnerabilities).

Note

The Alerts data stream ingests individual detection events surfaced by Microsoft and partner security providers, while Incidents data stream ingests correlated collections of alerts that represent a broader attack.

Use the data from this integration to consolidate and correlate security alerts from multiple sources. Also, by looking into the alert, incident, and vulnerability a user can take an appropriate action in the Microsoft Defender XDR Portal.

Version 4.0.0 of the Microsoft Defender XDR integration adds Elastic latest transforms. For more details, refer to the Transform setup and requirements documentation.

Follow the steps below to configure data collection from Microsoft sources.

Authentication: The Event Hub input supports two authentication methods: connection string (default) and client secret (Microsoft Entra ID). For setup steps, required RBAC roles (Azure Event Hubs Data Receiver, Storage Blob Data Contributor), and configuration options, see the Azure Logs integration or Filebeat azure-eventhub input documentation.

When the Elastic Agent must reach Azure Event Hubs through an HTTP/HTTPS proxy, set the Event Hubs transport protocol to AMQP-over-WebSockets. This routes Event Hub traffic over HTTPS (port 443) instead of AMQP (port 5671), which allows the proxy to handle it. Selecting AMQP-over-WebSockets automatically sets the processor version to v2.

Requirements:

  • Elastic Agent 8.19.10, 9.1.10, 9.2.4, or later.
  • Set HTTPS_PROXY and, if needed, NO_PROXY in the Elastic Agent process environment (for example, a systemd drop-in file or container environment variable). These variables apply to the entire agent process, not just this integration. Use NO_PROXY to exclude traffic that should bypass the proxy.

Proxy allowlist: the proxy must allow HTTPS (port 443) connections to:

  • *.servicebus.windows.net — Event Hub traffic. Sovereign clouds use a different suffix (for example, *.servicebus.usgovcloudapi.net for Azure Government).
  • *.blob.core.windows.net — checkpoint storage. Sovereign clouds use the storage suffix derived from Authority Host (for example, *.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net for Azure Government).
  • The authority host (default login.microsoftonline.com) — required for client secret authentication.

TLS-intercepting proxies: if the proxy performs TLS interception, the corporate CA certificate must be present in the system trust store on the agent host.

Sovereign clouds: users on Azure Government, Azure China, or Azure Germany must set the Authority Host to the correct login endpoint. Processor v2 derives the storage endpoint suffix from this setting. The Resource Manager Endpoint setting is used only by processor v1 and is ignored by v2.

Note on processor version: selecting AMQP-over-WebSockets moves the processor from v1 to v2 if the agent was previously running v1. Existing checkpoints are migrated automatically. However, switching back to v1 afterwards resumes from stale v1 checkpoints and may cause duplicate events.

  • Register a new Azure Application.
  • Assign the required permission: SecurityIncident.Read.All. Refer to this documentation on how to configure permissions. Refer to documentation on required permissions for incidents and alerts.
  • Once the application is registered, note the following values for use during configuration:
    • Client ID
    • Client Secret
    • Tenant ID

This integration supports both Elastic Managed and Agent-based installations.

Elastic Managed integrations are only supported on Elastic Cloud Serverless and Elastic Cloud Hosted deployments. An Elastic Managed integration lets you ingest data from a cloud source while avoiding the orchestration, management, and maintenance associated with standard ingest infrastructure. Elastic runs the collector for you, so you can focus on your data instead of the infrastructure that collects it. This functionality is in beta and is subject to change. Beta features are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.

Note

When using this integration as an Elastic Managed integration, only the following data streams are available: Collect Alert logs from Microsoft Defender XDR, Collect Incident logs from Microsoft Defender XDR, and Collect Vulnerability logs from Microsoft Defender XDR. These data streams use inputs compatible with the Elastic Managed deployment mode. Other data streams (Collect Event logs from Microsoft Defender XDR) require the Azure Event Hubs input, which is not supported in the Elastic Managed deployment mode. To collect data from these data streams, use Elastic Agent.

For more information, refer to Elastic Managed integrations and the Elastic Managed integrations FAQ.

Elastic Agent must be installed. For more details, check the Elastic Agent installation instructions. You can install only one Elastic Agent per host.

The vulnerability data stream collects vulnerability change events from the SoftwareVulnerabilityChangesByMachine delta API, resuming from a saved sinceTime cursor. Every change to a vulnerability on a machine is a new document, so the source stream grows with change volume rather than with the size of the estate, and the latest_cdr_vulnerabilities transform maintains the current state of each vulnerability. The other data streams collect incrementally and follow the default lifecycle for their destination indices.

The package bounds the growth of these source data streams with a retention that depends on the deployment type:

Data stream Self-managed and Elastic Cloud Hosted (ILM policy) Serverless (data stream lifecycle)
logs-m365_defender.vulnerability-* logs-m365_defender.vulnerability-default_policy: roll over after 7d, delete 7d after rollover delete 7d after rollover

On self-managed and Elastic Cloud Hosted deployments the ILM policy applies. The data stream lifecycle shipped with the package is not used there. ILM counts the delete age from the rollover of a backing index, so a document can remain for up to the rollover age plus the delete age. On Serverless, ILM is not available and the data stream lifecycle applies instead. It also works per backing index: Elasticsearch rolls the write index over automatically on age, size, or document count, and deletes a backing index once the retention has passed since it rolled over. A document therefore stays for the retention plus up to one rollover interval. The rollover age is derived from the retention and is an implementation detail that Elasticsearch may change. Where the package installs a transform, the transform's destination indices are not affected by either.

To keep data for a different period:

  • Self-managed and Elastic Cloud Hosted: edit the ILM policy in Kibana under Stack Management → Index Lifecycle Policies, or with PUT _ilm/policy/<policy name>. A package upgrade reinstalls the package's ILM policies, so check your change after upgrading.
  • Serverless: set the retention on the data stream, for example PUT _data_stream/logs-m365_defender.vulnerability-default/_lifecycle with the body {"data_retention": "90d"}. Replace default with your namespace.
Note

The user or service account associated with the integration must have the following index privileges on the relevant index have the following permissions delete, delete_index.

The values used in event.severity are consistent with Elastic Detection Rules.

Severity Name event.severity
Low (or Informational) 21
Medium 47
High 73
Critical 99

Most issues fall into one of the scenarios below. To confirm the integration is working end to end, see Validation. For how long collected data is kept, see Data retention.

When debugging a permissions issue or unexpected API responses on the Alerts, Incidents, or Vulnerabilities data streams, enable request tracing and inspect the request trace logs to see the interaction with the server. (The Events data stream is collected over Azure Event Hub and does not offer request tracing.) OAuth2 token values can be decoded using https://jwt.ms/ and should include a roles section listing the configured permissions.

Security warning: request trace files are not redacted. They contain the Authorization header and, during OAuth2 token exchange, the client secret in clear text. Only enable request tracing in a controlled debugging session, restrict access to the trace files, disable it as soon as you are finished, and rotate the client secret if a trace file that may contain it was exposed. On Elastic Managed deployments this setting is not user-configurable.

The Alerts, Incidents, and Vulnerabilities data streams authenticate to Microsoft with OAuth2 client credentials. If the integration reports a degraded status in Fleet and logs OAuth2 token errors, confirm that the client secret has not expired, that the Tenant ID and Client ID are correct, and that admin consent is still granted for the application. Generate a new client secret and update the integration if needed. The degraded status will clear on the next successful poll.

The Events data stream authenticates to Azure Event Hub with a connection string or Microsoft Entra client secret. For those errors, verify the connection string, the storage account, and the RBAC role assignments (Azure Event Hubs Data Receiver and Storage Blob Data Contributor).

A 403 Forbidden response means the Azure application is missing a required API permission. Alerts and Incidents require SecurityIncident.Read.All; Vulnerabilities require Vulnerability.Read.All. Add the permission, grant admin consent, and wait for the next poll.

If the integration is healthy but no data appears, confirm that the collection method for the data stream you expect is enabled, and that there is activity in the tenant for that data stream and time window. For the Events data stream, also confirm that the Azure Event Hub and its Blob Storage account are reachable and that Microsoft Defender XDR is configured to stream events to that Event Hub. Check the logs for successful polls or Event Hub reads, then see Validation.

Each data stream saves its position and resumes from there when the agent restarts, so a short outage backfills automatically on the following polls:

  • Alerts and Incidents resume from the last lastUpdateDateTime cursor and page forward through the backlog. Overlapping records are de-duplicated during ingest (a stable document _id is derived from each record), so a resume does not create duplicates.
  • Vulnerabilities resume from the saved delta link, so only changes since the last successful run are fetched.
  • Events resume from the offset stored in the configured Blob Storage account.

The Vulnerabilities data stream ships a 7-day retention (see Data retention). The other data streams follow the default index lifecycle for their destination indices. This governs how long ingested data is kept in Elasticsearch and is separate from how far back the source APIs can backfill.

Repeated 429 responses mean the Microsoft Graph or Defender for Endpoint per-tenant throttling limit has been reached. The affected request fails and the integration retries on the next scheduled interval, so collection catches up once the limit resets. Persistent throttling for many tenants that share one Azure application registration can mean the application is over-subscribed; consider using a separate application registration per tenant.

If the Microsoft Defender XDR transforms do not show Healthy (see Validation), open the transform to check its messages for the underlying error (for example, permissions or mapping conflicts). Resolve the error, then stop and restart the transform and confirm that it returns to Healthy.

Vulnerability data stream: Fixed vulnerabilities appearing on the Findings page

The vulnerability data stream uses Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's delta API, which returns change events including remediated (Fixed) vulnerabilities. Each record carries a vulnerability.status field with one of the following values: open, fixed, or unknown.

Until the Kibana Vulnerability Findings page adds a default filter on this field, remediated vulnerabilities will appear alongside open findings. To exclude them, add the following filter to the Findings page or any saved search:

Text 
NOT vulnerability.status: fixed

This is equivalent to showing only currently active vulnerabilities.

Exported fields
Field Description Type
@timestamp Date/time when the event originated. This is the date/time extracted from the event, typically representing when the event was generated by the source. If the event source has no original timestamp, this value is typically populated by the first time the event was received by the pipeline. Required field for all events. date
data_stream.dataset The field can contain anything that makes sense to signify the source of the data. Examples include nginx.access, prometheus, endpoint etc. For data streams that otherwise fit, but that do not have dataset set we use the value "generic" for the dataset value. event.dataset should have the same value as data_stream.dataset. Beyond the Elasticsearch data stream naming criteria noted above, the dataset value has additional restrictions: * Must not contain - * No longer than 100 characters constant_keyword
data_stream.namespace A user defined namespace. Namespaces are useful to allow grouping of data. Many users already organize their indices this way, and the data stream naming scheme now provides this best practice as a default. Many users will populate this field with default. If no value is used, it falls back to default. Beyond the Elasticsearch index naming criteria noted above, namespace value has the additional restrictions: * Must not contain - * No longer than 100 characters constant_keyword
data_stream.type An overarching type for the data stream. Currently allowed values are "logs" and "metrics". We expect to also add "traces" and "synthetics" in the near future. constant_keyword
event.dataset Name of the dataset. If an event source publishes more than one type of log or events (e.g. access log, error log), the dataset is used to specify which one the event comes from. It's recommended but not required to start the dataset name with the module name, followed by a dot, then the dataset name. constant_keyword
event.module Name of the module this data is coming from. If your monitoring agent supports the concept of modules or plugins to process events of a given source (e.g. Apache logs), event.module should contain the name of this module. constant_keyword

5.15.1 Bug fix (View pull request)
Fix alert and incident pagination to advance the $filter time boundary (lastUpdateDateTime gt <max in page>) with $skip held at 0, instead of incrementing $skip. This avoids the Graph security API $skip <= 500 limit (which caused 400 errors and stalled catch-up under high volume) and drains a backlog in a single interval. Also correct the alert batch_size default from 2000 to 1000, matching the API $top cap.		 9.3.0
