Selected DLP incident and activity paths
The Defender XDR connector can import supported DLP incidents into Sentinel; related Office 365 activity needs the relevant CloudAppEvents path. The separate Purview Sentinel solution uses data-sensitivity diagnostic logs, not a blanket DLP-alert feed. Tuning, ingestion, license, and retention settings matter.
Read official documentation for Selected DLP incident and activity paths (opens in a new tab)Documentation reviewed November 5, 2026. Microsoft availability and preview status can change; scope approval includes a fresh tenant-specific check. These are documented capabilities and constraints, not claims of completed NLCS customer deployments.
