Viewing Incidents in an Azure Sentinel Workbook

I was playing around with workbooks and noticed that there is a new preview Data Source called Azure Resource Manager.

Microsoft improving the Azure Sentinel REST API

I was looking the latest changes MS made to the Azure Sentinel REST API (available at https://github.com/Azure/azure-rest-api-specs/tree/master/specification/securityinsights/resource-manager/Microsoft.SecurityInsights/preview/2019-01-01-preview) and noticed that they now have an entire section called “incidents” that can be used just as “cases” could before.

While this is great, one feature that, IMHO, is lacking is […]
