Show Windows and Linux servers firewall logs with rules on azure.

Question

Hello Team,

This is Yaseen Zafar. DevOps Engineer from Integrated Dealer Systems. We have multiple customers whose servers are hosted on multiple locations from Canada to America. They are hosted on premises (i.e. they are not currently on Azure). Though we are currently using Microsoft Azure Log Analytics to get some insights of the Windows and Linux Servers. So far it has been a very good experience.

Actually I wanted to know if there is any solution available on Azure that can show me firewall related logs, rules, IP and port details ingested from the Windows and Linux Servers that are hosted on premise location.

Best Regards.

Hello @Yaseen Zafar ,

You can monitor Azure Firewall using firewall logs. You can also use activity logs to audit operations on Azure Firewall resources. Using metrics, you can view performance counters in the portal.

You can access some of these logs through the portal. Logs can be sent to Azure Monitor logs, Storage, and Event Hubs and analyzed in Azure Monitor logs or by different tools such as Excel and Power BI.

In order to Monitor Azure Firewall logs and metrics, do follow up the below link,
