  1. If you prefer to enable auditing on the database level, switch Auditing to ON. If server auditing is enabled, the database-configured audit exists side-by-side with the server audit.

  2. You have multiple options for configuring where audit logs are stored. You can write logs to an Azure storage account or to Event Hub.

  1. To configure writing audit logs to an Event Hub, select Event Hub. Select the Event Hub where logs will be written and then click Save. Be sure that the event hub is in the same region as your database and server.
