What is AD Audit?

Active Directory Auditing in short.

This syncing process starts from the probe agent action menu and syncs Active Directory data every 15 minutes. It includes data for AD Users, Computers, OUs, and Groups.

We are triggering Alerts by taking the data from AD Audit and mapping this against the AD Audit Event Set Group, as shown below.

NOTE: AD Audit is only supported on a ‘Domain Controller’ where Active Directory Services and Role(s) are installed.

NOTE: The AD Audit Event Set alerts are available for any integration that supports the Event Set options. You must be inside one of the integration tiles to see the ‘Event Set’ section:
