To remediate the “Auditing Disabled for SQL Databases” misconfiguration in Azure using Azure CLI, follow these steps:
Open Azure CLI and login to your Azure account using the command:
Copy
Ask AI
az login
Once you are logged in, set the default subscription where your SQL databases are located using the command:
Copy
Ask AI
az account set --subscription <subscription_name>
Enable auditing for the SQL server by running the following command:
Copy
Ask AI
az sql server audit-policy update --state Enabled --storage-account <storage_account_name> --storage-key <storage_account_key> --storage-endpoint <storage_account_endpoint> --retention-days <retention_period> --resource-group <resource_group_name> --server <sql_server_name>
Note: Replace the placeholders with actual values for storage account name, storage account key, storage account endpoint, retention period, resource group name, and SQL server name.
Once the command is executed successfully, auditing will be enabled for the SQL server and all the databases under it.
Verify the status of auditing by running the following command:
Copy
Ask AI
az sql server audit-policy show --resource-group <resource_group_name> --server <sql_server_name>
This command will display the current audit policy for the SQL server and its databases.
Repeat the above steps for all the SQL servers in your Azure environment to ensure that auditing is enabled for all the databases.
By following the above steps, you can remediate the “Auditing Disabled for SQL Databases” misconfiguration in Azure using Azure CLI.
Using Python
To remediate the issue of auditing disabled for SQL databases in Azure, you can use the following Python code:
First, import the necessary libraries:
Copy
Ask AI
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredentialfrom azure.mgmt.sql import SqlManagementClient
Next, authenticate and create a SQL management client object:
For each server, get the list of databases and enable auditing for each database:
Copy
Ask AI
for server in servers: databases = sql_client.databases.list_by_server(resource_group_name, server.name) for database in databases: database_properties = sql_client.databases.get(resource_group_name, server.name, database.name) database_properties.auditing_policy.state = "Enabled" database_properties.auditing_policy.is_azure_monitor_target_enabled = True sql_client.databases.create_or_update(resource_group_name, server.name, database.name, database_properties)
This code will iterate through all the SQL servers in your subscription, and for each server, it will enable auditing for all the databases and set Azure Monitor as the target. This will remediate the issue of auditing disabled for SQL databases in Azure.
