Are you tired of not knowing who’s changing what in your Azure SQL databases?

To audit Azure SQL Database, you can use the built-in functionality in the Azure portal or with Extended Events; to audit Azure SQL Managed Instance, you can use SQL Server Audit or Extended Events. With auditing, you can track changes, report on usage to auditors, or change user permissions/passwords without breaking functionality.

In this session, you will get an overview, different options available, and a demo. You will also learn how to centralize and report on your auditing data. Auditing is a key part of any proper database setup, and with this session, you can be an auditing pro in no time!
