When using Queue Services for a storage account, logging should be enabled.

Default Severity: medium

Explanation

Storage Analytics logs detailed information about successful and failed requests to a storage service.

This information can be used to monitor individual requests and to diagnose issues with a storage service.

Requests are logged on a best-effort basis.

Possible Impact

Logging provides valuable information about access and usage

Suggested Resolution

Enable logging for Queue Services

Insecure Example

The following example will fail the azure-storage-queue-services-logging-enabled check. 

 resource "azurerm_storage_account" "bad_example" {
     name                     = "example"
     resource_group_name      = data.azurerm_resource_group.example.name
     location                 = data.azurerm_resource_group.example.location
     account_tier             = "Standard"
     account_replication_type = "GRS"
     queue_properties  {
   }
 }

Secure Example

The following example will pass the azure-storage-queue-services-logging-enabled check. 

 resource "azurerm_storage_account" "good_example" {
     name                     = "example"
     resource_group_name      = data.azurerm_resource_group.example.name
     location                 = data.azurerm_resource_group.example.location
     account_tier             = "Standard"
     account_replication_type = "GRS"
     queue_properties  {
     logging {
         delete                = true
         read                  = true
         write                 = true
         version               = "1.0"
         retention_policy_days = 10
     }
   }
 }
