In the audit of the azure SQL database and SQL data warehouse, the database event is tracked and an event is written to the audit log of the azure storage account, log analytics workspace, or event hubs. Auditing for azure SQL database and SQL data warehouse trace database events and comments to an audit log in your azure storage account, log analytics workspace or event hubs. Editing:
- It is easy to maintain the compliance of regulatory compliance, understanding database activities, and insight into differences and anomalies that indicate business concerns and suspicions of security. Helps you maintain regulatory compliance, understanding database activity, and again insight into discrepancies and anomalies.

Attention
This topic applies to both the azure SQL server and the SQL database and SQL data warehouses that are created on the azure SQL server. This topic compare to azure SQL server, and to create SQL database and SQL data warehouse databases that are created on the azure SQL server. For allowance, SQL database is used when using to database database and SQL data warehouse.
Attention
This article has recently been updated to use the term "azure monitor log", not log analytics. Log data to log the log azure monitor logs using of log analytics. Log data is stored in the log analytics workspace and collected and analyzed by the same log analytics service. Log data is still stored in a log analytics workspace and is still behind and dangerous by the same log analytics service. We are graded the terminology to better reflect the role of logs in azure monitor. See azure monitor terminology changes for detail.
Azure SQL database audit overview azure SQL database auditing overview
You can use SQL database audit to do the following: You can use SQL database auditing to:
- Hold. Retain an audit trail of selected events. You can define categories of database actions to be audited.
- Report. Report on database activity. You can use pre configured reports and a dashboard to get started with the activity and event reporting.
- Analysis. Analyze reports. Suspicious events, abnormal activities, and trends can be found. You can find suspicious events, odd activities, and.
Important
The audit log is written to the additional blob in the azure blob storage of the azure subscription. Edit tags are written to append blobs in azure blob storage on your azure subscription.
- All storage types (V1, V2, BLOB) are supported. All storage classes (V1, V2, BLOB) are supported.
- All storage replication configurations are supported. All storage reproducible arrangements supported.
- Premium storage is not currently supported. Premium storage is places not supported.
- The storage in Vnet is not currently supported. Storage in Vnet is related not supported.
- The storage behind the firewall is currently not supported. Storage wherea firewall is related not supported.
- The hierarchical namespace for the azure data Lake storage Gen2 storage account is not currently supported. Hierarchical namespace for azure data Lake storage Gen2 storage account is isn't supported.
Defender server level vs. database level auditing policy
You can define audit policies for a particular database or as a default server policy. An auditing policy can be defined for a specific database or as a default server policy:
- Server policy applies to all existing and newly created databases on the server. A server policy against to existing and estimated creating databases on the server.
Server policy applies to all existing and newly created databases on the server. A server policy against to existing and estimated creating databases on the server.
- If the server blob audit is valid, it is always applied to the database. If server blob auditing is enabled, it always gets to the database. The database will be audited.
If the server blob audit is valid, it is always applied to the database. If server blob auditing is enabled, it always gets to the database. The database will be audited.
- If you enable the blob audit in the database and data warehouse as well as the server, the server's lob audit settings are overridden or altered. Enabling blob auditing on the database or data warehouse, in addition to verify it on the server, does not override or change any of the settings of the server blob auditing. The bottom audits will exist side by side, which means that the database will be audited twice in a row (once the server policy is monitored by the database Policy). Note that other words, the database is audited changes in parallel; once by the server policy and once by the database policy. If you use server blob auditing and database blob auditing together, if you use a different "storage account" or "retention period" for a particular database. You want to use a different storage account or retention period for a specific database. You want to specify event types or distributions for a specific database that indicates from the rest of the databases on the server. If you do not want to be informed only for a specific database. Otherwise, we recommend that you only only server level blob auditing and leave the database level auditing disabled for all databases.

Avoid both server blob audit and database blob audits, except for the following cases. Server blob auditing and database blob auditing together
- Use a different "storage account" or "retention period" for a particular database. You want to use a different storage account or retention period for a specific database.
- If the type or category of an event to be specified by a particular database is different from that of another database on the server. You want to specify event types or distributions for a specific database that indicates from the rest of the databases on the server. For example, you could have table inserts that need to be audited only for a specific database.

Warning
If azure SQL data warehouse runs the audit on the running server, the data warehouse will resume and pause again, so there is a possibility of charging. Afforling auditing on a server that has an azure SQL data warehouse on it will result in the data warehouse being performed ed and re paused again there may be billing charges.

If you write an audit log to an event hub: if you reduce to write audit logs to event hub
- To use the event log audit log data, you need to process the event and set the stream to write the event to the target. To consume statistics log data from event hub, you will need to set up a stream to consume events and write to to a target. For more information, see azure event hub documentation.
- An event hub audit log is captured in the body of the Apache Avro event and is stored using the UTF-8 encoded JSON format. You can use Avro tools or similar tools to handle this format. To read the audit logs, you can use Avro tools or similar tools that process this format.
If you choose to write an audit log to an azure storage account, you can view logs in multiple ways. If you have to write audit logs to an azure storage account, there are several things you use to view the logs:
The audit log is totaled by the account you selected at the time of setting. You can survey audit logs using tools such as audit logs. For you can explore accounting logs by using a tool such as azure storage explorer. Azure storage, the audit log is stored as a collection of blob files in a container named sqldbauditlogs. In azure storage, auditing logs are saved as a collection of blob files within a container named sqldbauditlogs.

Auditing geo replication database
In the geo replication database, when the primary database audit is enabled, the same audit policy applies to the secondary database. You can set audit for secondary databases by enabling auditing on secondary servers separately from the primary database. It is possible to set up auditing on the secondary database by allowing auditing on the secondary server, proportional from the primary database.
- Audit should be enabled in the "primary database itself" instead of the server. Auditing must be enabled on the primary database entities, not the server.
Audit should be enabled in the "primary database itself" instead of the server. Auditing must be enabled on the primary database entities, not the server.
- Enabling audit in a primary database is also valid for secondary databases. Important auditing is enabled on the primary database, it will also become enabled on the secondary database. With database level auditing, the storage settings for the secondary database will be identical to the primary database, reduce cross area traffic . We recommend that you only only server level auditing, and leave the database level auditing disabled for all databases.
