MEDIUM
Ensures that diagnostic settings are configured for key Azure resource types to enable logging and monitoring.
What does this mean?
This recommendation audits whether diagnostic settings are properly configured for selected Azure resource types. Without diagnostic settings, operational and security events for these resources are not captured.
Benefits of implementation

- Enables proactive monitoring and alerting
- Required for security and compliance auditing
Drawbacks and considerations
- Each resource type needs individual diagnostic setting configuration
- Log storage costs scale with the number of resources
- Requires a logging strategy and destination (Log Analytics, Storage, Event Hub)
Implementation
Implementation guidance coming soon.
