Description

Ensure that Intune logs are captured and fed into a central log analytics workspace.

Rationale

Intune includes built-in logs that provide information about your environments. Sending logs to a Log Analytics workspace enables centralized analysis, correlation, and alerting for faster threat detection and response.

Impact

A Microsoft Intune plan is required to access Intune: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/business/microsoft-intune-pricing.

The amount of data logged and, thus, the cost incurred can vary significantly depending on the tenant size.
