After connecting your Microsoft Sentinel workspace and Microsoft Defender XDR advanced hunting data, you can start querying Microsoft Sentinel data from the advanced hunting page. For an overview of advanced hunting features, read [Proactively hunt for threats with advanced hunting](advanced-hunting-overview.md).

## What to expect for Defender XDR tables streamed to Microsoft Sentinel
52-
- **Use tables with longer data retention period in queries** – Advanced hunting follows the maximum data retention period configured for the Defender XDR tables (see [Understand quotas](advanced-hunting-limits.md#understand-advanced-hunting-quotas-and-usage-parameters)). If you stream Defender XDR tables to Microsoft Sentinel and have a data retention period longer than 30 days for said tables, you can query for the longer period in advanced hunting.

- **Use tables with longer data retention period in queries** – Advanced hunting follows the maximum data retention period configured for the Defender XDR tables (see [Understand quotas](advanced-hunting-limits.md#understand-advanced-hunting-quotas-and-usage-parameters)). If you [stream Defender XDR tables](/defender-xdr/streaming-api) to Microsoft Sentinel and have a data retention period longer than 30 days for said tables, you can query for the longer period in advanced hunting.
5353
- **Use Kusto operators you've used in Microsoft Sentinel** – In general, queries from Microsoft Sentinel work in advanced hunting, including queries that use the `adx()` operator. There might be cases where IntelliSense warns you that the operators in your query don't match the schema, however, you can still run the query and it should still be executed successfully.
5454
- **Use the time filter dropdown instead of setting the time span in the query** – If you're filtering ingestion of Defender XDR tables to Sentinel instead of streaming the tables as is, don't filter the time in the query as this might generate incomplete results. If you set the time in the query, the streamed, filtered data from Sentinel is used because it usually has the longer data retention period. If you would like to make sure you're querying all Defender XDR data for up to 30 days, use the time filter dropdown provided in the query editor instead.
5555
- **View `SourceSystem` and `MachineGroup` columns for Defender XDR data that have been streamed from Microsoft Sentinel** – Since the columns `SourceSystem` and `MachineGroup` are added to Defender XDR tables once they're streamed to Microsoft Sentinel, they also appear in results in advanced hunting in Defender. However, they remain blank for Defender XDR tables that weren't streamed (tables that follow the default 30-day data retention period).

## Where to find your Microsoft Sentinel data

- The Microsoft Sentinel `SecurityAlert` table is replaced by `AlertInfo` and `AlertEvidence` tables, which both contain all the data on alerts. While SecurityAlert isn't available in the schema tab, you can still use it in queries using the advanced hunting editor. This provision is made so as not to break existing queries from Microsoft Sentinel that use this table.

- Guided hunting mode and take actions capabilities are supported for Defender XDR data only.

- Bookmarks aren't supported in the advanced hunting experience. They're supported in the **Microsoft Sentinel > Threat management > Hunting** feature. Alternatively, you can use the [Link to incident](advanced-hunting-defender-results.md#link-query-results-to-an-incident) feature to link query results to new or existing incidents.

- If you're streaming Defender XDR tables to Log Analytics, there might be a difference between the`Timestamp` and `TimeGenerated` columns. In case the data arrives to Log Analytics after 48 hours, it's being overridden upon ingestion to `now()`. Therefore, to get the actual time the event happened, we recommend relying on the `Timestamp` column.
9595
- When prompting [Security Copilot](advanced-hunting-security-copilot.md) for advanced hunting queries, you might find that not all Microsoft Sentinel tables are currently supported. However, support for these tables can be expected in the future.
