You can select site collection for SharePoint Online and initiate scan, discover, enable or disable shares from this tab.

To add a new SharePoint Online account

  1. In the left pane, click Data Sources > SharePoint.

    The SharePoint page displays the list of configured Online accounts.

  2. Click Add SharePoint Online Account.
  3. Use the dialog box to add a new SharePoint Online account to Data Insight. Refer the table below for details:

Table: Add/Edit SharePoint Online account options

Field

Description

SharePoint Online Account URL

Enter the SharePoint Online URL that you want Data Insight to monitor. For example, https://myaccount.sharepoint.com

Client ID

Client Secret Key

Tenant ID

The client ID is the unique application ID assigned when you create and register an app with Microsoft. You can add up to 5 client IDs.

Client Secret Key: In the SharePoint App, navigate to the Certificates & secrets page. There is a code in the Value column under the Client secret section. You need to use that code as a Client Secret Key while configuring a SharePoint account in Data Insight.

Tenant ID: This is the unique application ID assigned to an organization

If you have missed copying the code, go back to the Certificates & secrets page in the SharePoint app and click + New client secret. Copy the code in the Value column and use it as a Client Secret Key in Data Insight.

You can add up to 5 apps. Follow the procedure described in the following topic to get these details:

Note:

Microsoft servers might briefly block certain client credentials for initiating frequent requests. In such scenarios, Data Insight fails to retrieve data from the Microsoft servers. To eliminate such delay, you can add up to 5 client credentials to the SharePoint Online account. If one client credential is blocked by Microsoft, another client credential will be used to fetch data.

Add one client ID, Client Secret Key, authorize the app and click Add More Apps to add another set of client credentials.

Authorize access

Do the following:

  1. Click Authorize. This invokes the application authorized to access the SharePoint Online account.

    Note:

    Ensure that you use the credentials of a Office 365 user with Microsoft Global administrator role for authorizing Data Insight.

    This step creates an authorization token that is stored as a named credential in the Data Insight configuration. You will be redirected to the Data Insight console to complete the rest of the configuration.

  2. Data Insight can access folder and file metadata and the information about the activities performed on these files and folders.

Note:

After authorization, do not update the same set of client and secret key.

Automatically discover and add site collections in this SharePoint Online account

This check box is selected by default. This option allows you to automatically include all site collections in the selected SharePoint Online account for the purpose of monitoring.

Clear the check box to add site collections manually. You can do this from the SharePoint Online account details page.

Discovery of site collections takes place as soon as you add a SharePoint Online account and then at 2:00 AM every Saturday.

Exclude following site collections from discovery

Enter the details of the site collections which should not be included during discovery.

This option is available when you select Automatically discover and add site collections in the added SharePoint Online Accounts. Specify comma separated patterns that you want to ignore. Patterns can have 0 or more wildcard * characters.

For example, https://onlineaccount1/sites/test* ignores site collections https://onlineaccount1/sites/testsite1 and https://onlineaccount1/sites/testsite2.

Enable Scanning for this SharePoint Online account

This check box will be selected by default and option will be grayed out.

Monitor SharePoint accesses to this SharePoint Online account

This check box will be selected by default and option will be grayed out.
