Application - Office365 - Security Opspack
Office365 is a line of subscription services offered by Microsoft that includes products like Office, SharePoint and Skype for Business.
What You Can Monitor
This Opspack allows you to monitor your Office365 Subscription's Security, providing information on Security Alerts.
We recommend adding the "Application - Office365" - Overview Host Template to your Host when using this template to give you a better overview of your Office365 subscription.
Service Checks
Host Template | Service Check | Description |
---|---|---|
Application - Office365 - Security | Office365 - Security - Security Alerts | The security status of the Office365 subscription and any alerts |
Setup Office365 for Monitoring
To monitor your Office365 environment, you will need to retrieve the following credentials, which will allow Opsview Monitor access to the metrics for your Office365 Subscription:
- Tenant/Directory ID
- Client/Application ID
- Secret Key
Follow the steps below to retrieve this information.
Step 1: Find the Tenant ID
The Tenant/Directory ID can be found in the Azure Active Directory under the Properties section from the Azure dashboard.


Step 2: Find the Client/Application ID for your application
You need to create and register your application if you haven't already. Use the following documentation from Microsoft: Create an Azure Active Directory application
The Client/Application ID can be found in Azure Active Directory under the App registrations section from the Azure dashboard.


Step 3: Generate the Secret Key for your application
You will need to create a Secret Key for your application, once this has been created its value will be hidden so save the value during creation.
To create the Secret Key, select your application from the list, select the Settings within your application and then select the Keys option.
There you can create a new key by adding the description and expiration period and the value will be generated.

Step 4: Add Required Permissions
The appropriate permissions for the APIs used by these Office365 Host-Templates need to be added in Azure. From the same settings menu as above, go to Required Permissions under API ACCESS. Click Add, select the API and then choose the permissions for that API based on the table below.
