| 18 | +# Azure AD cloud sync insights workbook |
| 19 | +The Cloud sync workbook provides a flexible canvas for data analysis. The workbook allows you to create rich visual reports within the Azure portal. To learn more, see Azure Monitor Workbooks overview. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +This workbook is intended for Hybrid Identity Admins who use cloud sync to sync users from AD to Azure AD. It allows admins to gain insights into sync status and details. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +The workbook can be accessed by select **Insights** on the left hand side of the cloud sync page. |

| 48 | +## Enabling provisioning logs |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +You should already be familiar with Azure monitoring and Log Analytics. If not, jump over to learn about them and then come back to learn about application provisioning logs. To learn more about Azure monitoring, see [Azure Monitor overview](../../azure-monitor/overview.md). To learn more about Azure Monitor logs and Log Analytics, see [Overview of log queries in Azure Monitor](../../azure-monitor/logs/log-query-overview.md) and [Provisioning Logs for troubleshooting cloud sync](how-to-troubleshoot.md). |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +## Sync summary |
| 53 | +The sync summary section provides a summary of your organizations synchronization activities. These activities include: |
| 54 | + - Sync actions per day by action |
| 55 | + - Sync actions per day by status |
| 56 | + - Unique sync count by status |
| 57 | + - Recent sync errors |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | + |

| 62 | + |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +## Sync details |
| 65 | +The sync details tab allows you to drill into the synchronization data and get more information. This information includes: |
| 66 | + - Objects sync by status |
| 67 | + - Sync log details |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | + :::image type="content" source="media/how-to-cloud-sync-workbook/workbook-3.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the cloud sync details." lightbox="media/how-to-cloud-sync-workbook/workbook-3.png"::: |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +You can further drill in to the sync log details for additional information. |

| 74 | + |
| 75 | +## Job Id |
| 76 | +A Job Id will be created for each configuration when it runs and is populated with data. You can look at individual configuration based on Job Id. |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +## Custom queries |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +You can create custom queries and show the data on Azure dashboards. To learn how, see [Create and share dashboards of Log Analytics data](../../azure-monitor/logs/get-started-queries.md). Also, be sure to check out [Overview of log queries in Azure Monitor](../../azure-monitor/logs/log-query-overview.md). |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +## Custom alerts |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +Azure Monitor lets you configure custom alerts so that you can get notified about key events related to Provisioning. For example, you might want to receive an alert on spikes in failures. Or perhaps spikes in disables or deletes. Another example of where you might want to be alerted is a lack of any provisioning, which indicates something is wrong. |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +To learn more about alerts, see [Azure Monitor Log Alerts](../../azure-monitor/alerts/alerts-log.md). |
