Centrally discover and deploy Microsoft Sentinel out-of-the-box content and solutions (Public preview)

Note

Azure Sentinel is now called Microsoft Sentinel, and we’ll be updating these pages in the coming weeks. Learn more about recent Microsoft security enhancements.

Important

Microsoft Sentinel solutions and the Microsoft Sentinel Content Hub are currently in PREVIEW, as are all individual solution packages. See the Supplemental Terms of Use for Microsoft Azure Previews for additional legal terms that apply to Azure features that are in beta, preview, or otherwise not yet released into general availability.

The Microsoft Sentinel Content hub provides access to Microsoft Sentinel out-of-the-box (built-in) content and solutions, which are packed with content for end-to-end product, domain, or industry needs.

This article describes how to install solutions in your Microsoft Sentinel workspace, making the content inside them available for your use.

  • Find your solutions in the Content hub based on their statuses, the content included, support, and more.

  • Install the solution in your workspace when you find one that fits your organization's needs. Make sure to keep it updated with the latest changes.

Tip

If you are a partner who wants to create your own solution, see the Microsoft Sentinel Solutions Build Guide for solution authoring and publishing.

Find a solution

  1. From the Microsoft Sentinel navigation menu, under Content management, select Content hub (Preview).

  2. The Content hub page displays a searchable and filterable grid of solutions.

    Filter the list displayed, either by selecting specific values from the filters, or entering any part of a solution name or description in the Search field.

    For more information, see Microsoft Sentinel out-of-the-box content and solution categories.

    Tip

    If a solution that you've deployed has updates since you deployed it, an orange triangle will indicate that you have updates to deploy, and it'll be indicated in the blue triangle at the top of the page.

Each solution in the grid shows the categories applied to the solution, and types of content included in the solution.

For example, in the following image, the Cisco Umbrella solution shows a category of Security - Others, and that this solution includes 10 analytics rules, 11 hunting queries, a parser, three playbooks, and more.

Install or update a solution

  1. In the content hub, select a solution to view more information on the right. Then select Install, or Update, if you need updates. For example:

  2. On the solution details page, select Create or Update to start the solution wizard. On the wizard's Basics tab, enter the subscription, resource group, and workspace to which you want to deploy the solution. For example:

  3. Select Next to cycle through the remaining tabs (corresponding to the components included in the solution), where you can learn about, and in some cases configure, each of the content components.

    Note

    The tabs displayed for you correspond with the content offered by the solution. Different solutions may have different types of content, so you may not see all the same tabs in every solution.

    You may also be prompted to enter credentials to a third party service so that Microsoft Sentinel can authenticate to your systems. For example, with playbooks, you may want to take response actions as prescribed in your system.

  4. Finally, in the Review + create tab, wait for the Validation Passed message, then select Create or Update to deploy the solution. You can also select the Download a template for automation link to deploy the solution as code.

For more information, see Microsoft Sentinel content hub catalog and Find your Microsoft Sentinel data connector.

Find the support model for your solution

Each solution lists details about its support model on the solution's details pane, in the Support box, where either Microsoft or a partner's name is listed. For example:

When contacting support, you may need other details about your solution, such as a publisher, provider, and plan ID values. You can find each of these on the solution's details page, on the Usage information & support tab. For example:

Next steps

In this document, you learned about Microsoft Sentinel solutions and how to find and deploy built-in content.

Many solutions include data connectors that you'll need to configure so that you can start ingesting your data into Microsoft Sentinel. Each data connector will have it's own set of requirements, detailed on the data connector page in Microsoft Sentinel.
