ARM Template to deploy server with Auditing and Threat Detection turned ON
I would like to share an example of a template that can be used to deploy server with multiple databases and to turn ON Auditing and Threat Detection at server and individual database levels.
A few guidelines:
- Auditing server policy can be set after creation of all databases, so you should add dependency on all databases to auditingPolicies. Make sure you perform it last and make it dependent on the other operations.
- When defining Threat Detection on a server, all databases are protected. No need to define security alerts and auditing policies at the database level. In any case, this example also contains database part, so you can use it in both scenarios.
- When you define securityAlertPolicies resource ensure that following parameters are added to it: retentionDays, storageEndpoint and storageAccountAccessKey.
Below is a complete example of the template.

Create JSON file with required parameters to deploy the server. Below is an example of databaselist parameter.
"databaselist": {"value": [{"databaseName": "firstdb","collation": "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS","edition": "Basic","maxsize": "1073741824","auditedevents": "Login_Failure"},{"databaseName": "seconddb","collation": "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS","edition": "Basic","maxsize": "1073741824","auditedevents": "PlainSQL_Failure, ParameterizedSQL_Failure, StoredProcedure_Failure, Login_Failure, TransactionManagement_Failure"}]}, |
