FAQPage Schema
How do I build a Microsoft Sentinel data connector using the Codeless Connector Framework?

To build a Microsoft Sentinel data connector using the Codeless Connector Framework (CCF), define an ARM template that specifies authentication methods, pagination types, KQL transformation rules, and UI definition elements for deployment.

What authentication methods can I configure in a Sentinel codeless connector ARM template?

Sentinel codeless connector ARM templates support Basic, APIKey, OAuth2, and JWT authentication methods, allowing you to securely connect and ingest data from various REST APIs into your workspace.

How do I apply KQL transformation rules when ingesting data through a CCF connector?

You apply KQL transformation rules within the ARM template to parse, filter, and format incoming API responses, ensuring the ingested data aligns with your Microsoft Sentinel workspace schema requirements.

How do I validate a Sentinel codeless connector ARM template before deployment?

You validate a Sentinel codeless connector ARM template by running provided validation scripts against your JSON structure and following a strict checklist to ensure authentication, pagination, and UI definitions are deployable.

What's the best way to handle API pagination in a Microsoft Sentinel codeless connector?

The best way to handle API pagination in a Microsoft Sentinel codeless connector is to configure the supported pagination types within your ARM template, ensuring complete data ingestion across multiple response pages.

Why does my Sentinel codeless connector deployment fail during ARM template validation?

Sentinel codeless connector deployments often fail due to ARM template structural errors, missing UI definition elements, or incorrectly configured authentication and pagination parameters that validation scripts can detect.
