Starting with the February 2026 preview updates for Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2, Microsoft has made Group Policy Preferences (GPP) debug logging configurable directly in Local Group Policy via gpedit.msc. Previously, these settings were primarily managed through domain-based Group Policy Objects (GPOs); enabling them via Local Group Policy typically required manually copying the GroupPolicyPreferences .admx/.adml templates into the local PolicyDefinitions store. You can now enable per-CSE (client-side extension) event logging and file-based tracing on individual client devices without a domain controller.

Microsoft Sentinel is Azure's cloud-native SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) and SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automated Response) platform. The Codeless Connector Framework (CCF) — formerly known as the Codeless Connector Platform — is the mechanism that enables partners, customers, and developers to build data connectors without writing infrastructure code. The newly public-preview CCF Push feature extends this framework with an event-driven ingestion pattern that sends security data directly to Sentinel as events occur, bypassing the latency inherent in traditional polling. This article explains what CCF Push is, how it differs from pull connectors, which Azure resources it automatically provisions, and how you configure an application to push data using the Log Ingestion API and OAuth 2.0.
