Explanation
This query is designed to enhance the data from the MicrosoftGraphActivityLogs by adding user information from the IdentityInfo table. Here's a simple breakdown of what the query does:
-
Filter Events: It starts by selecting events from the GraphAPIAuditEvents where the entity type is "user". This means it focuses only on activities related to user accounts.
-
Enrich with User Information: The query then performs a left outer join with the IdentityInfo table. This table contains detailed user information. The join is based on the
AccountObjectId, which is a unique identifier for user accounts. -
Time Constraint: It only considers user information from the last 30 days to ensure the data is recent.
-
Select Latest Information: For each user, it picks the most recent record (using
arg_max) to get the latest user details. -
Select Relevant User Details: It extracts specific user details such as
AccountDisplayNameandAccountUpn(User Principal Name). -
Reorder Columns: Finally, it rearranges the columns in the output to display the user's display name, UPN, request method, and request URI in a specific order.
Overall, this query helps provide more context to the activity logs by adding user-friendly information, making it easier to understand who performed certain actions.
