Summary


In this chapter, we discussed the key monitoring and log capabilities to hold your identity infrastructure in a stable and suitable state. We learned which functionality is provided by the Azure AD section in the Azure portal. Furthermore, we saw how Azure AD Connect Health works and how easy it is to install and configure your environment. We extended our solution and now have a broader view of the whole security state of the hybrid environment through the Azure Security Center. You should be able to answer questions about the identity infrastructure-monitoring capabilities and to configure a suitable monitoring and log solution for your own organization or customers. 

In the next chapter, we will learn how to use the Azure Identity Protection features to protect your cloud and on-premises environment. We will discuss and configure the Azure AD Privileged Identity Management capabilities.
