Microsoft Sentinel Integration

Greetings
Firstly, a disclamer: I'm a security architect and not a Dynamics person. My company has choosen to migrate heavily to Dynamics 365 Business Central and for this we rely on external consultants to map Business Central to our finance processes. I function as a security advisor to the project and I am left frustrated by the lack of security "maturity" of our consultants. 2024 and it's still "well you logged in, let's give him/her full access".
Anyway. We've been using Microsoft Sentinel as our company SIEM for a while and we had Sentinel integration as a requirement during the project initial face which as left me with a feeling of cheated since no one can get it to work.
Sentinel seems to rely on a Log Analytics table called Dynamics365Activity which is expected as that is how Sentinel works and the Sentinel analytics rules looks promising from a security standpoint. But there isn't anyhthing in this table, it's blank and we've been running one of our Dynamics 365 Business Central environments in a production capacity for months.
So, how is this supposed to work?
 
Regards
Fredrik

    Business Central doesn’t write logs directly to the Dynamics365Activity table used by Sentinel. Instead, telemetry goes to Application Insights. To get BC logs into Sentinel, you’ll need to link Application Insights with Sentinel—usually through a custom connector or Logic App. This setup requires some manual configuration.
