Bicep resource definition

The servers/extendedAuditingSettings resource type can be deployed with operations that target:

Resource groups - See resource group deployment commands

For a list of changed properties in each API version, see change log.

Resource format

To create a Microsoft.Sql/servers/extendedAuditingSettings resource, add the following Bicep to your template.

resource symbolicname 'Microsoft.Sql/servers/extendedAuditingSettings@2023-02-01-preview' = {
  parent: resourceSymbolicName
  name: 'default'
  properties: {
    auditActionsAndGroups: [
      'string'
    ]
    isAzureMonitorTargetEnabled: bool
    isDevopsAuditEnabled: bool
    isManagedIdentityInUse: bool
    isStorageSecondaryKeyInUse: bool
    predicateExpression: 'string'
    queueDelayMs: int
    retentionDays: int
    state: 'string'
    storageAccountAccessKey: 'string'
    storageAccountSubscriptionId: 'string'
    storageEndpoint: 'string'
  }
}

Property values

ExtendedServerBlobAuditingPolicyProperties

Name	Description	Value
auditActionsAndGroups	Specifies the Actions-Groups and Actions to audit. 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 when enabling auditing from the Azure portal. The supported action groups to audit are (note: choose only specific groups that cover your auditing needs. Using unnecessary groups could lead to very large quantities of audit records): APPLICATION_ROLE_CHANGE_PASSWORD_GROUP BACKUP_RESTORE_GROUP DATABASE_LOGOUT_GROUP DATABASE_OBJECT_CHANGE_GROUP DATABASE_OBJECT_OWNERSHIP_CHANGE_GROUP DATABASE_OBJECT_PERMISSION_CHANGE_GROUP DATABASE_OPERATION_GROUP DATABASE_PERMISSION_CHANGE_GROUP DATABASE_PRINCIPAL_CHANGE_GROUP DATABASE_PRINCIPAL_IMPERSONATION_GROUP DATABASE_ROLE_MEMBER_CHANGE_GROUP FAILED_DATABASE_AUTHENTICATION_GROUP SCHEMA_OBJECT_ACCESS_GROUP SCHEMA_OBJECT_CHANGE_GROUP SCHEMA_OBJECT_OWNERSHIP_CHANGE_GROUP SCHEMA_OBJECT_PERMISSION_CHANGE_GROUP SUCCESSFUL_DATABASE_AUTHENTICATION_GROUP USER_CHANGE_PASSWORD_GROUP BATCH_STARTED_GROUP BATCH_COMPLETED_GROUP DBCC_GROUP DATABASE_OWNERSHIP_CHANGE_GROUP DATABASE_CHANGE_GROUP LEDGER_OPERATION_GROUP These are groups that 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 Database-Level Audit Action Groups. For Database auditing policy, specific Actions can also be specified (note that Actions cannot be specified for Server auditing policy). 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::{db_name} and SCHEMA::{schema_name} are used, respectively. For example: SELECT on dbo.myTable by public SELECT on DATABASE::myDatabase by public SELECT on SCHEMA::mySchema by public For more information, see Database-Level Audit Actions	string[]
isAzureMonitorTargetEnabled	Specifies whether audit events are sent to Azure Monitor. In order to send the events to Azure Monitor, specify 'State' as 'Enabled' and 'IsAzureMonitorTargetEnabled' as true. When using REST API to configure auditing, Diagnostic Settings with 'SQLSecurityAuditEvents' diagnostic logs category on the database should be also created. Note that for server level audit you should use the 'master' database as {databaseName}. Diagnostic Settings URI format: PUT https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroup}/providers/Microsoft.Sql/servers/{serverName}/databases/{databaseName}/providers/microsoft.insights/diagnosticSettings/{settingsName}?api-version=2017-05-01-preview For more information, see Diagnostic Settings REST API or Diagnostic Settings PowerShell	bool
isDevopsAuditEnabled	Specifies the state of devops audit. If state is Enabled, devops logs will be sent to Azure Monitor. In order to send the events to Azure Monitor, specify 'State' as 'Enabled', 'IsAzureMonitorTargetEnabled' as true and 'IsDevopsAuditEnabled' as true When using REST API to configure auditing, Diagnostic Settings with 'DevOpsOperationsAudit' diagnostic logs category on the master database should also be created.

isManagedIdentityInUse	Specifies whether Managed Identity is used to access blob storage	bool
isStorageSecondaryKeyInUse	Specifies whether storageAccountAccessKey value is the storage's secondary key.	bool
predicateExpression	Specifies condition of where clause when creating an audit.	string
queueDelayMs	Specifies the amount of time in milliseconds that can elapse before audit actions are forced to be processed. The default minimum value is 1000 (1 second). The maximum is 2,147,483,647.	int
retentionDays	Specifies the number of days to keep in the audit logs in the storage account.	int
state	Specifies the state of the audit. If state is Enabled, storageEndpoint or isAzureMonitorTargetEnabled are required.	'Disabled' 'Enabled' (required)
storageAccountAccessKey	Specifies the identifier key of the auditing storage account. If state is Enabled and storageEndpoint is specified, not specifying the storageAccountAccessKey will use SQL server system-assigned managed identity to access the storage. Prerequisites for using managed identity authentication: 1. Assign SQL Server a system-assigned managed identity in Azure Active Directory (AAD). 2. Grant SQL Server identity access to the storage account by adding 'Storage Blob Data Contributor' RBAC role to the server identity. For more information, see Auditing to storage using Managed Identity authentication	string Constraints: Sensitive value. Pass in as a secure parameter.
storageAccountSubscriptionId	Specifies the blob storage subscription Id.	string Constraints: Min length = 36 Max length = 36 Pattern = `^[0-9a-fA-F]{8}-([0-9a-fA-F]{4}-){3}[0-9a-fA-F]{12}$`
storageEndpoint	Specifies the blob storage endpoint (e.g. https://MyAccount.blob.core.windows.net). If state is Enabled, storageEndpoint or isAzureMonitorTargetEnabled is required.	string

Microsoft.Sql/servers/extendedAuditingSettings

Name	Description	Value
name	The resource name	'default' (required)
parent	In Bicep, you can specify the parent resource for a child resource. You only need to add this property when the child resource is declared outside of the parent resource. For more information, see Child resource outside parent resource.	Symbolic name for resource of type: servers
properties	Resource properties.	ExtendedServerBlobAuditingPolicyProperties
