Introduction

With the MS Powershell Sensor your able to trigger any Get- cmdlet within your Office 365 tenant by default (Exchange and Security / Compliance)
By default we have restricted the cmdlets in a way, that only GET- and TEST- cmdlets are allowed. However you can adjust this by modifying the following file on the GL filesystem level.

for Exchange:

/opt/panagenda/scripts/gl_powershell/o365_exchange_ps_commands.txt

Just add your cmdlet at the end of this list → save/close. From now on you can choose your cmdlet entry within the sensor

for Security and Compliance

/opt/panagenda/scripts/gl_powershell/o365_sec_and_compliance_ps_commands.txt

The following kbase article explains two simple examples for Exchange

1. Get-Mailbox
2. Get-MailTrafficReport

 

Configuration

First of all you have to add portal.office.com as a server to your GL server list. Just add the server without selecting any OS type or Role

Create a MS Powershell Sensor with the following Settings
