Azure Resource Manager Resource Deployments Monthly Report

C

Azure Automation now supports update management, inventory, and change tracking.

Update management delivers visibility of update compliance across Azure, on-premises, and other clouds for both Windows and Linux. Create scheduled deployments to orchestrate the installation of updates within a defined maintenance window. Exclude specific updates and get detailed troubleshooting logs to identify any issues during the deployment.

To generate a monthly report of all new Azure Resource Manager resource deployments in your subscription, you should recommend using Azure Log Analytics.

Azure Log Analytics is a service that helps you collect and analyze data generated by resources in your cloud and on-premises environments. It provides advanced analytics and insights into the performance and health of your resources. With Log Analytics, you can collect and analyze data from various sources, including Azure resources, operating systems, and custom applications.

To generate a report of new Azure Resource Manager resource deployments, you can configure Log Analytics to collect data from the Azure Activity log. The Azure Activity log records all operations that were performed on resources in your subscription. By analyzing this data, you can determine which resources were deployed or updated during a specific period.

To set up Log Analytics for this purpose, you would perform the following steps:

1. Create a Log Analytics workspace: You can create a workspace in the Azure portal and configure it to collect data from the Azure Activity log.

2. Configure data collection: In the workspace settings, you can configure data sources and specify the log types you want to collect.

3. Create a query: Once data is collected, you can use the Log Analytics query language to extract the information you need. For example, you can use the "ResourceId" field to identify which resources were deployed during a specific period.

4. Schedule a report: You can schedule the query to run at regular intervals (e.g., once a month) and send the results as a report to a specific email address or save it to a storage account.

In summary, Azure Log Analytics is the recommended solution for generating a monthly report of all new Azure Resource Manager resource deployments in your subscription. With Log Analytics, you can collect data from the Azure Activity log and analyze it to determine which resources were deployed during a specific period. You can then schedule a report to be generated and sent at regular intervals.
