AD FS Log Tools

AdfsEventsModule Overview

This module provides tools for gathering related ADFS events from the security, admin, and debug logs, across multiple servers. This tool also allows the user to reconstruct the HTTP request/response headers from the logs.

Cmdlets in AdfsEventsModule

This module exposes the following cmdlets:

Get-ADFSEvents - Allows you to query servers for ADFS logs. Contains options for querying, aggregation, and analysis
Write-ADFSEventsSummary - Allows you to generate a summary of an ADFS request, based on the logs from Get-ADFSEvents
Enable-ADFSAuditing - Enables all the ADFS and OS auditing switches on the current server, and enables just the ADFS switches on remote servers
Disable-ADFSAuditing - Disables all the ADFS and OS auditing switches on the current server, and disables just the ADFS switches on remote servers

The detailed parameters for Get-ADFSEvents and Write-ADFSEventsSummary are provided below.

The Get-ADFSEvents cmdlet is used to aggregate events by correlation ID, while the Write-ADFSEventsSummary cmdlet is used to generate a PowerShell Table of only the most relevant logging information from the events that are piped in.

Get-ADFSEvents Parameters

Logs - A list of AD FS logs to include in the aggregation. Current options are: "Admin", "Debug", "Security". The default will pull from both Security and Admin.
CorrelationID - The correlation ID for a single request. This will aggregate all chosen logs for this request
All - This flag will cause all events in the desired logs to be grouped by correlation ID.
Headers - This flag can be combined with any means of event collection (a single correlation id, all events, or time based) to reconstruct available HTTP requests and responses.
StartTime - The UTC start time to use when aggregating multiple requests. All requests that start after this time will be aggregated
EndTime - The UTC end time to use when aggregating multiple requests. All requests that end before this time will be aggregated
Server - A comma-separated list of server names to pull logs from. The default will pull from LocalHost

Get-ADFSEvents Output

The output produced by Get-ADFSEvents is a list of objects with each containing at least the following properties:

CorrelationID
Events

The CorrelationID property contains a string representation of the Correlation ID that all events and headers within that object share.

The Events property contains a list of EventLogRecord objects for the matching Correlation ID.

If the Headers flag is included in the cmdlet's invocation, the output object will also contain a Headers property.

The Headers property contains a list of objects, each containing the following properties:

QueryString
ResponseString
RequestHeader
ResponseHeader

The QueryString property contains the HTTP verb (GET, POST, etc) and the corresponding query string.

The ResponseString property contains the HTTP response string (ex. 200 ok)

The RequestHeader property is a dictionary containing the headers included in the HTTP request

The ResponseHeader property is a dictionary containing the headers included in the HTTP response

Using Get-ADFSEvents

Import the PowerShell Module

In a PowerShell window, run the following:

ipmo AdfsEventsModule.psm1
Run Get-ADFSEvents with your desired parameters to get a list of PowerShell objects

EXAMPLE: Retrieve all logs from two servers for a specific request

$logs = Get-ADFSEvents -Logs Security, Admin, Debug -CorrelationID 0c0fd6ee-4b1e-4260-0300-0080070000e3 -Headers -Server LocalHost, MyServer

OUTPUT:
```
Events                              Headers CorrelationID
------                              ------- -------------

{EventLogRecord, EventLogRecord}    {}      0c0fd6ee-4b1e-4260-0300-0080070000e3
```

To view specific records:

$logs.Events[0]

OUTPUT:

Message         : An HTTP request was received. See audit 510 with the same Instance ID for headers.
