ManageEngine Log360 integrates with ADManager Plus, collecting and analyzing log data generated during Active Directory management operations. From user provisioning to group modifications and delegation workflows, Log360 enables secure and compliant oversight through real-time monitoring and intelligent analytics.
How Log360 collects ADManager Plus logs
Log360 allows you to ingest logs from ADManager Plus in one of two ways:
- Import log files stored locally or on remote devices using various authentication methods.
- ADManager Plus can also be configured to send its logs to Log360's active syslog listener via UDP, TCP, or TLS.
Once the logs are collected, they are parsed, normalized, and analyzed using Log360's powerful processors.
Critical events monitored through ADManager Plus
ADManager Plus captures a wide range of operational and administrative events, including:
- User and group creation, deletion, and modification
- Group membership changes and access right assignments
- Password resets and account unlocks
- OU- and GPO-related actions
- Delegation activities and workflow approvals or rejections
- Audit trails of scheduled tasks and automation policies
- Role-based and delegated admin actions
- Unusual changes to user permissions or group memberships
- Failed provisioning attempts or policy misconfigurations
- Admin approval workflows and their outcomes
- Task execution anomalies or schedule deviations
Key benefits of this integration
- ADManager Plus sends all management-related audit logs, such as access logs, debugging logs, and activity logs, directly to Log360 via secure syslog forwarding.
- Gain immediate insight into ADManager Plus actions and receive alerts on critical events like privilege escalations, bulk user or group modifications, and failed workflows.
- Track delegation workflows, task success rates, bulk changes, and automated operations from a central console.
- Log360 creates audit-ready reports from these logs, simplifying compliance with SOX, HIPAA, the PCI DSS, and more. This builds an essential audit trail of activities conducted via ADManager Plus.
