Enable diagnostics for Azure Storage Account using PowerShell commands

Question

How to enable Diagnostics for existing Azure Storage Account using PowerShell?

Thank you

Answer 1

You can use PowerShell to configure Storage Metrics in your storage account by using the cmdlet Set-AzureStorageServiceMetricsProperty to change the current settings.

Example 1:

$context = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName <your storageacount name>
Set-AzureStorageServiceMetricsProperty -MetricsType Minute -ServiceType Blob -MetricsLevel ServiceAndApi  -RetentionDays 5 -Context $context

I enabled the diagnostics like this:enable Blob metrics

If you want to enable the below Blob,Table,Queue logs, you can use the cmdlet Set-AzureStorageServiceLoggingProperty to change the current settings.

Example 2:

$context = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName <your storageacount name>
Set-AzureStorageServiceLoggingProperty -ServiceType Queue -Context $context  -LoggingOperations read,write,delete -RetentionDays 5  

I enabled the Queue logs like this:

enable Queue logs

Update: If you just want to enable storage of diagnostic logs in a storage account,use this command:

Set-AzureRmDiagnosticSetting -ResourceId [your resource id] -StorageAccountId [your storage account id] -Enabled $true

See more details about Set-AzureRmDiagnosticSetting ,refer to this:
