Troubleshooting errors that occur during monitor addition and data collection in Microsoft 365 monitor (For versions 16310 onwards)
![](https://img.zohostatic.com/zde/static/images/file.png)
From Applications Manager version 16310 onwards, Microsoft 365 monitor will use Microsoft Graph API as the primary mode of data collection.

We have
migrated from PowerShell to Graph API as Microsoft 365
PowerShell commands were taking more time to execute for huge resources and
required Administrative user privileges for execution of the commands. Microsoft provides
archived data alone in the
Graph API. To monitor live data, use the PowerShell mode considering the user privileges and the
time taken to fetch huge resources.
Prerequisites:
- Ensure that you have met all the prerequisites for the Microsoft 365 monitor.

How to fix "Unable to parse endpoints in CSV."?
To edit/add endpoints in Microsoft365 monitors, one can edit the Microsoft365_Endpoints.csv file which is present under <APM_Home>/working/conf/Microsoft365Configurations/ folder. The maximum number of endpoints allowed per monitor type is 100.
The file follows the below format for Microsoft365, ExchangeOnline, SharePointOnline, and MicrosoftTeams monitors:
- Endpoint,Port
- #<Monitor Type> starts,
- Host,Port
- #Can comment a line with a # symbol at the start of the line if a particular endpoint is not needed for monitoring.
- #<Monitor Type> ends,
Sample file to indicate how to specify endpoints:
- Endpoint,Port
- #Microsoft365 starts,
- api.login.microsoftonline.com,443
- clientconfig.microsoftonline-p.net,443
- #Microsoft365 ends,
- #ExchangeOnline starts,
- smtp.office365.com,587
- outlook.office365.com,443
- #ExchangeOnline ends,
