How can I use client dashboards with azure lighthouse?

Frasi 20

Hello, I work for a service provider company and I need help with monitoring my clients dashboards.

I need to have multiple client dashboards on my azure tenant, I did connect our tenant (service provider) with each one of our client's tenants with the ARP template guide shown in:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/lighthouse/how-to/onboard-customer

Now, how do I use client metrics on my dashboard hub? I need to monitorize up to 5 servers / client and I'm not seeing anything to configure this. Any help is appreciated :)

Thank you in advance.

Hi Frasi

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

You need to create Log Analytics workspaces in each client's Azure account. These workspaces help you collect and analyze data from their resources. Each workspace is like a separate space for managing data for that client.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/lighthouse/how-to/monitor-at-scale

Make sure the servers you want to monitor are connected to the right Log Analytics workspaces. You can do this by going to the Azure portal, selecting the servers, and setting their diagnostic settings to send logs and metrics to the workspaces you created.

Use Azure Monitor to view and analyze the data from your Log Analytics workspaces. You can create custom dashboards that gather metrics from different clients' workspaces, so you can keep an eye on all your clients in one place.

Set up alerts in Azure Monitor for important metrics or log queries that are crucial for your clients' operations. This will help you quickly address issues as they come up for different clients.

Use Azure Resource Graph queries to filter and show alerts or metrics for multiple clients on your dashboard. You can save these queries for quick access and set them to refresh automatically.

If you have any further queries, do let us know.

If the answer is helpful, please and "Upvote it".

Assuming Azure Lighthouse is setup correctly, you should be able to navigate to each Sentinel instance/workspace ok?

Are you talking about Azure Dashboards, if so you can add a new Tile to your Dashboard linked to your customers data. Maybe setup a specific dashboard in your central tenant for this?

Also with Lighthouse when its setup you can use a Workbook (dashboard) to see the customers data, one to start with is "Sentinel Central" in the [Content Hub] which is designed to monitor Incidents across Tenants or multi-workspace.

I did two posts for v2 https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/microsoft-sentinel-central-workbook-v20-clive-watson/?trackingId=YU4sDjiHSWCw4g5pVjMzyQ%3D%3D and there is a link to v1 within.
