Diagnostic settings Alert

Brass Contributor

Hello,

 

How can I set alert for Diagnostic settings like whoever enabling it with username, time, date and resource group name.

 

Thanks in advance.

The AzureActivcity logs has a lot of categories, so you need to scope it careful or you will get all (and many) alerts.

 

From the GUI

From Log Analytics

AzureActivity
| where TimeGenerated > startofday(ago(7d))
| where Category == "Administrative"
| where OperationName == "Create or update resource diagnostic setting"
| summarize count() by ActivityStatus, OperationName, Resource, Caller, ResourceGroup, TimeGenerated

 - this isn't a full query but should help you.   Just hit "new alert rule" after you run this (and after any edits you require).  Click below to see the results on test data - I limited the results to 5 

 

Go to Log Analytics and Run Query
