• Route and operationalize Intune logs in Azure: configure Intune Diagnostic Settings to send audit/operational/compliance/device logs to Azure Monitor / Log Analytics, then author KQL queries, alerts, and workbooks for proactive monitoring.
• Build executive ready insights: create Power BI dashboards fed by the Intune Data Warehouse and/or Log Analytics queries to trend compliance, deployments, and device health.
• Run multi device queries at scale: use Intune Advanced Analytics – Device query for multiple devices (KQL) to answer fleet wide questions (., drivers, firmware, crash patterns) and drive remediations.
• Measure update compliance: implement Windows Update for Business reports (Azure Monitor Logs) and craft KQL queries/Workbooks that track patch deployments, failures, and safeguards.
