What Changed

Added new CCF (Codeless Connector Framework) template for Azure Storage Blob data ingestion at DataConnectors/Templates/Connector_StorageBlob_CCF_template.json.

Ingestion Mechanism

Event-driven blob ingestion:

  • Uses Event Grid topic to monitor blob creation events in storage account
  • Automatic notification queue and dead-letter queue creation
  • Role assignments grant Microsoft Sentinel access to blob container and storage queues
  • Data flows through DCR (Data Collection Rule) with KQL transform capabilities

Configuration requirements:

  • Blob container URL and optional folder path
  • Storage account location, resource group, and subscription details
  • Existing Event Grid topic name (if present) or creates new one

Detection Surface Unlocked

Enables collection of security logs from:

  • Custom applications writing structured logs to blob storage
  • Third-party security tools using blob storage for log export
  • Archive data recovery for historical analysis
  • Any system capable of writing JSON/text logs to Azure Storage blobs

Template includes customizable table schema and transform KQL for data normalization.
