Create detectionRule

Namespace: microsoft.graph.security

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Create a custom detection rule. With custom detections, you can proactively monitor for and respond to various events and system states, including suspected breach activity and misconfigured assets in their organization's network. Custom detection rules, which are written in Kusto query language (KQL), automatically trigger alerts and response actions once there are events matching their KQL queries.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.
