Enabling Azure Sentinel

Once you have created a Log Analytics workspace that you want to use with Azure Sentinel, it is very easy to attach it to Azure Sentinel:

1. If you do not have Azure Sentinel enabled for your tenant, sign in to the Azure portal, enter Azure Sentinel in the search box, and select the Azure Sentinel entry, as shown here:

4. Once the workspace has been created, you will be taken to the News & guides page of Azure Sentinel. This page will show some simple instructions on how to set up the workspace. Refer to the following section for more information:

Congratulations! You now have your Azure Sentinel environment created and are ready to go. While the News & guides page is where you will go automatically after attaching a Log Analytics workspace to Azure Sentinel, if you leave Azure Sentinel and go back to it, you will automatically go to the Azure Sentinel Overview page, which is described next.
