## Impact

The Storage Table storage is a service that stores structure NoSQL data in the cloud, providing a key/attribute store with a schema less design. Storage Logging happens server- side and allows details for both successful and failed requests to be recorded in the storage account. These logs allow users to see the details of read, write, and delete operations against the tables. Storage Logging log entries contain the following information about individual requests: Timing information such as start time, end-to-end latency, and server latency, authentication details , concurrency information and the sizes of the request and response messages. Storage Analytics logs contain detailed information about successful and failed requests to a storage service. This information can be used to monitor individual requests and to diagnose issues with a storage service. Requests are logged on a best-effort basis.

## How to Fix

## *Resource:* azurerm\_resource\_group, azurerm\_log\_analytics\_workspace, azurerm\_storage\_account, azurerm\_log\_analytics\_storage\_insights, azurerm\_storage\_table \[source,go]

{ "resource "azurerm\_resource\_group" "blobExample\_ok" { name = "example-resources" location = "West Europe" }

resource "azurerm\_log\_analytics\_workspace" "blobExample\_ok" { name = "exampleworkspace" location = azurerm\_resource\_group.blobExample\_ok.location resource\_group\_name = azurerm\_resource\_group.blobExample\_ok.name sku = "PerGB2018" retention\_in\_days = 30 }

resource "azurerm\_storage\_account" "blobExample\_ok" { name = "examplestoracc" resource\_group\_name = azurerm\_resource\_group.blobExample\_ok.name location = azurerm\_resource\_group.blobExample\_ok.location account\_tier = "Standard" account\_replication\_type = "LRS" }

resource "azurerm\_log\_analytics\_storage\_insights" "blobExample\_ok" { name = "example-storageinsightconfig" resource\_group\_name = azurerm\_resource\_group.blobExample\_ok.name workspace\_id = azurerm\_log\_analytics\_workspace.blobExample\_ok.id

storage\_account\_id = azurerm\_storage\_account.blobExample\_ok.id storage\_account\_key = azurerm\_storage\_account.blobExample\_ok.primary\_access\_key table\_names = \["myexampletable\_ok"] }

resource "azurerm\_storage\_table" "blobExample\_ok" { name = "myexampletable\_ok" storage\_account\_name = azurerm\_storage\_account.blobExample\_ok.name storage\_container\_name = azurerm\_storage\_container.blobExample\_ok.name }

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/appsec-rules/iac-security/logging/appsec2-azure-20.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
