Description

The Set-AzSqlDatabaseAudit cmdlet changes the auditing settings of an Azure SQL Database. To use the cmdlet, use the ResourceGroupName, ServerName, and DatabaseName parameters to identify the database. When blob storage is a destination for audit logs, specify the StorageAccountResourceId parameter to determine the storage account for the audit logs and the StorageKeyType parameter to define the storage keys. If using blob storage as destination, you can also define retention for the audit logs by setting the value of the RetentionInDays parameter to define the period for the audit logs.

Examples

Example 1: Enable the blob storage auditing policy of an Azure SQL Database

Set-AzSqlDatabaseAudit -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -ServerName "Server01" -DatabaseName "Database01" -BlobStorageTargetState Enabled  -StorageAccountResourceId "/subscriptions/7fe3301d-31d3-4668-af5e-211a890ba6e3/resourceGroups/resourcegroup01/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/mystorage"

Example 2: Disable the blob storage auditing policy of an Azure SQL Database

Set-AzSqlDatabaseAudit -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -ServerName "Server01" -DatabaseName "Database01" -BlobStorageTargetState Disabled

Example 3: Enable the blob storage auditing policy of an Azure SQL Database with filtering using a T-SQL predicate

Set-AzSqlDatabaseAudit -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -ServerName "Server01" -DatabaseName "Database01" -PredicateExpression "schema_name <> 'sys''" -BlobStorageTargetState Enabled -StorageAccountResourceId "/subscriptions/7fe3301d-31d3-4668-af5e-211a890ba6e3/resourceGroups/resourcegroup01/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/mystorage"

Example 4: Remove the filtering from the auditing policy of an Azure SQL Database

Set-AzSqlDatabaseAudit -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -ServerName "Server01" -DatabaseName "Database01" -PredicateExpression ""

Example 5: Enable the event hub auditing policy of an Azure SQL Database

Set-AzSqlDatabaseAudit -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -ServerName "Server01" -DatabaseName "Database01" -EventHubTargetState Enabled -EventHubName "EventHubName" -EventHubAuthorizationRuleResourceId "EventHubAuthorizationRuleResourceId"

Example 6: Disable the event hub auditing policy of an Azure SQL Database

Set-AzSqlDatabaseAudit -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -ServerName "Server01" -DatabaseName "Database01" -EventHubTargetState Disabled

Example 7: Enable the log analytics auditing policy of an Azure SQL Database

Set-AzSqlDatabaseAudit -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -ServerName "Server01" -DatabaseName "Database01" -LogAnalyticsTargetState Enabled -WorkspaceResourceId "/subscriptions/a0a0a0a0-bbbb-cccc-dddd-e1e1e1e1e1e1/resourceGroups/insights-integration/providers/Microsoft.OperationalInsights/workspaces/viruela2"

Example 8: Disable the log analytics auditing policy of an Azure SQL Database

Set-AzSqlDatabaseAudit -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -ServerName "Server01" -DatabaseName "Database01" -LogAnalyticsTargetState Disabled

Example 9: Disable, through pipeline, the log analytics auditing policy of an Azure SQL Database

Get-AzSqlDatabase -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -ServerName "Server01" -DatabaseName "Database01" | Set-AzSqlDatabaseAudit -LogAnalyticsTargetState Disabled

Example 10: Disable sending audit records of an Azure SQL Database to blob storage, and enable sending them to log analytics.

Set-AzSqlDatabaseAudit -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -ServerName "Server01" -DatabaseName "Database01" -LogAnalyticsTargetState Enabled  -WorkspaceResourceId "/subscriptions/a0a0a0a0-bbbb-cccc-dddd-e1e1e1e1e1e1/resourceGroups/insights-integration/providers/Microsoft.OperationalInsights/workspaces/viruela2" -BlobStorageTargetState Disabled

Example 11: Enable sending audit records of an Azure SQL Database to blob storage, event hub and log analytics.

Set-AzSqlDatabaseAudit -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -ServerName "Server01" -DatabaseName "Database01" -BlobStorageTargetState Enabled -StorageAccountResourceId "/subscriptions/7fe3301d-31d3-4668-af5e-211a890ba6e3/resourceGroups/resourcegroup01/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/mystorage" -EventHubTargetState Enabled -EventHubName "EventHubName" -EventHubAuthorizationRuleResourceId "EventHubAuthorizationRuleResourceId" -LogAnalyticsTargetState Enabled  -WorkspaceResourceId "/subscriptions/a0a0a0a0-bbbb-cccc-dddd-e1e1e1e1e1e1/resourceGroups/insights-integration/providers/Microsoft.OperationalInsights/workspaces/viruela2"

Parameters

-AuditAction

The set of audit actions.
The supported actions to audit are:
SELECT
UPDATE
INSERT
DELETE
EXECUTE
RECEIVE
REFERENCES
The general form for defining an action to be audited is: [action] ON [object] BY [principal] Note that [object] in the above format can refer to an object like a table, view, or stored procedure, or an entire database or schema. For the latter cases, the forms DATABASE::[dbname] and SCHEMA::[schemaname] are used, respectively. For example:
SELECT on dbo.myTable by public
SELECT on DATABASE::myDatabase by public
SELECT on SCHEMA::mySchema by public

Type:	String[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None

-AuditActionGroup

The recommended set of action groups to use is the following combination - this will audit all the queries and stored procedures executed against the database, as well as successful and failed logins:

"BATCH_COMPLETED_GROUP",
"SUCCESSFUL_DATABASE_AUTHENTICATION_GROUP",
"FAILED_DATABASE_AUTHENTICATION_GROUP"
This above combination is also the set that is configured by default. These groups cover all SQL statements and stored procedures executed against the database, and should not be used in combination with other groups as this will result in duplicate audit logs. For more information, see https://learn.microsoft.com/sql/relational-databases/security/auditing/sql-server-audit-action-groups-and-actions#database-level-audit-action-groups.
