Hi @AjayanPoorakkadavath-6174 Thank you for posting your question on Microsoft Q&A. I tried to repo this issue on my end and also noticing the same thing. It may be a bug or something broke the GUI. I am working internally with our the Azure SQL team to find out more. I will give an update shortly.
Thank you for your patience.

Auditing can be enabled at both levels - server and database. If you enable at the server level, it will be enabled for all databases. You can read more here, in the "Define server-level vs. database-level auditing policy" section. HTH
Hi @AjayanPoorakkadavath-6174
The portal only shows disabled, but in fact the SERVER AUDIT works just fine (and may actually be ENABLED).
At least it has been working for me since the “disabled” attribute was showing incorrectly on the portal.
If you run this in cloud shell:
Get-AzSqlServerAudit -ResourceGroupName <myResourceGroup> -ServerName <myServerName>
You can see the live – ENABLED server Audit.
We are working with the Product Group to get the issue fix. Thank you for bringing this into our attention.

Hi @AjayanPoorakkadavath-6174 This is a known issue and our Product Group is working for a fix. As a workaround , I will suggest to use Shell for now to verify whether auditing is enabled until this got resolved.
