Quick Answer
The correct answer is AWS CloudTrail and Microsoft Entra ID audit logs. AWS CloudTrail is supported through the Amazon Web Services connector, which ingests management and data plane logs from your AWS environment into Microsoft Sentinel, while Microsoft Entra ID audit logs (formerly Azure Active Directory) are natively ingested via the Azure Active Directory connector to track user and admin activities. On the SC-200 exam, this question tests your understanding of which third-party and Microsoft-native data sources are directly supported, often trapping candidates with options like on-premises syslog-ng (syslog requires a connector but syslog-ng is not a direct source) or unsupported platforms like Google Cloud VPC Flow Logs and end-of-life Windows Server 2008. A common memory tip is to remember that Sentinel supports major cloud providers only through specific connectors—AWS and Microsoft Entra ID are first-party or well-integrated, while Google Cloud and outdated systems are not. Think "AWS and Entra are in; Google and old Windows are out."
This SC-200 practice question tests your understanding of manage a security operations environment. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Which TWO are supported data sources for Microsoft Sentinel?
Google Cloud VPC Flow Logs
Why wrong: Not natively supported.
Windows Server 2008 event logs
Why wrong: Out of support; not recommended.
Microsoft Entra ID audit logs
Supported via Microsoft Entra ID connector (formerly Azure AD).
AWS CloudTrail
Supported via Amazon Web Services connector.
On-premises syslog-ng
Why wrong: syslog-ng is not a direct data source; syslog is supported but not syslog-ng specifically.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Microsoft Entra ID audit logs
Options A and D are correct. Microsoft Sentinel supports AWS CloudTrail via the Amazon Web Services connector and Microsoft Entra ID audit logs via the Azure Active Directory connector (now Microsoft Entra ID). Option B is wrong because on-premises syslog-ng is not directly supported; syslog is supported via a connector. Option C is wrong because Google Cloud VPC Flow Logs are not natively supported. Option E is wrong because Windows Server 2008 is out of support and not recommended.
Key principle: NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.
Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
Google Cloud VPC Flow Logs
Why it's wrong here
Not natively supported.
Windows Server 2008 event logs
Why it's wrong here
Out of support; not recommended.
Microsoft Entra ID audit logs
AWS CloudTrail
Why this is correct
Supported via Amazon Web Services connector.
Related concept
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
On-premises syslog-ng
Why it's wrong here
syslog-ng is not a direct data source; syslog is supported but not syslog-ng specifically.
Common exam traps
NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.
Detailed technical explanation
NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.
Key takeaway
NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.
Real-world example
A healthcare organisation deploys an application with a public-facing web tier and a private database tier. The database subnet has no public IP and only accepts connections from the web tier's security group. Questions like this test whether you can design cloud network isolation using VNets/VPCs, subnets, and security group rules.
What to study next
Review the four NAT address types (inside local, inside global, outside local, outside global), PAT port overload, and static vs dynamic NAT use cases. Then practise related SC-200 NAT questions on configuration and troubleshooting.
