Azure Resource Manager Logs: One-pager explaining core logging functionality

Not a day goes by I need to refresh my memory where certain operation is logged in Azure? is there separate logging setting needed to be enabled? Is it enabled per resource?

That’s the reason I created this short helper documentation, to have a simple example of core logging related to Azure Resoure Manager operations.

• Note: this article excludes:
  • Azure AD logs, such as various sign-in and audit logs (Subject I’ve covered in many other blogs, and very important too)
  • Application insights, or functional logs created inline from the application runtime (for example adding middleware that writes directly to Log Analytics custom log events)

Basic configuration

• Activity log: Configured in Azure Activity Log per Subscription

• Diagnostic log: Configured in individually the resources diagnostic settings

One-pager

•
