After integrating Citrix Analytics for Security with Microsoft Sentinel, the Logstash connector starts pushing events from Citrix Analytics for Security to the Microsoft Sentinel workspace. On your Azure portal, open the Microsoft Sentinel workspace that you have used for the integration.

To verify that Microsoft Sentinel is receiving the events from Citrix Analytics for Security, select Logs > Custom Logs.
