Auditing in Azure SQL

 Auditing in Azure SQL Database helps you track and log database events for compliance, security, and monitoring purposes. It captures details such as who accessed the database, what actions were performed, and when they occurred. This is essential for meeting regulatory requirements like GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO.

Azure SQL auditing can be enabled at the server level or individual database level. Once enabled, audit logs are written to an audit target like Azure Storage, Log Analytics, or Event Hubs, where you can retain, analyze, or forward data.

The audit logs include actions like data read/write, logins, permission changes, schema modifications, and security events. You can customize the audit policy by choosing specific actions or categories to monitor (e.g., "FAILED_DATABASE_AUTHENTICATION_GROUP" or "DATABASE_OBJECT_CHANGE_GROUP").

You can view and analyze logs using tools like Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, or third-party SIEM tools. This helps detect suspicious activities, unauthorized access attempts, or policy violations.

Enabling auditing has minimal performance impact but provides significant benefits for security and governance. Best practices include storing logs in a secure storage account, regularly reviewing audit policies, and setting up alerts for high-risk activities.

In summary, Azure SQL auditing is a powerful feature that enhances visibility, accountability, and compliance in cloud-based database environments.
