- Yesterday I blogged about Azure DevOps audit logs. Although you could export the logs, it was only limited to the last 90 days. To have a full audit log over time, we need to take a different approach through audit streams.
Audit streams represent a pipeline that flows audit events from your Azure DevOps organization to a stream target. Every half hour or less, new audit events are bundled and streamed to your targets. Currently, the following stream targets are available for configuration:
- Splunk – Connect to on-premises or cloud-based Splunk.
- Azure Monitor Log - Send auditing logs to Azure Monitor Logs. Logs stored in Azure Monitor Logs can be queried and have alerts configured. Look for the table named AzureDevOpsAuditing. You can also connect Azure Sentinel to your workspace.
- Azure Event Grid – For scenarios where you want your auditing logs to be sent somewhere else, whether inside or outside of Azure, you can set up an Azure Event Grid connection.
Create a stream
-
Sign in to your organization (
https://dev.azure.com/{yourorganization}).
-
Select Organization settings.
- Select Auditing.
-
Go to the Streams tab, and then select New stream.
- Select the stream target that you want to configure.
-
Specify the required fields and click on Set up.
