MEDIUM

Requires resource logging on Azure Databricks workspaces for security monitoring and audit purposes.

What does this mean?

Benefits of implementation

  • Enables monitoring of data processing activities
  • Essential for detecting unauthorized access to Databricks environments
  • Required for audit and compliance purposes

Drawbacks and considerations

  • Databricks log volumes can be significant
  • Storage costs scale with workspace activity
  • Requires Log Analytics workspace or storage destination configuration
