Control: 3.14 Ensure Storage Logging is Enabled for Table Service for 'Read', 'Write', and 'Delete' Requests

Description

Azure Table storage is a service that stores structured NoSQL data in the cloud, providing a key/attribute store with a schema-less design. Storage Logging happens server-side and allows details for both successful and failed requests to be recorded in the storage account. These logs allow users to see the details of read, write, and delete operations against the tables. Storage Logging log entries contain the following information about individual requests: timing information such as start time, end-to-end latency, and server latency; authentication details; concurrency information; and the sizes of the request and response messages.

Storage Analytics logs contain detailed information about successful and failed requests to a storage service. This information can be used to monitor each individual request to a storage service for increased security or diagnostics. Requests are logged on a besteffort basis.

Storage Analytics logging is not enabled by default for your storage account.

Remediation

From Azure Portal

  1. From the default portal page select Storage Accounts.
  2. Select the specific Storage Account.
  3. Click the Diagnostics settings under the Monitoring section in the left column.
  4. Select the 'table' tab indented below the storage account.
  5. Click '+ Add diagnostic setting'.
  6. Select Read, Write and Delete options under the Logging section to enable Storage Logging for Table service.
  7. Select a destination for your logs to be sent to.

From Azure CLI

Use the below command to enable the Storage Logging for Table service.

az storage logging update --account-name <storageAccountName> --account-key
<storageAccountKey> --services t --log rwd --retention 90

Default Value

By default, storage account table service logging is disabled for read, write, an delete operations.

Usage

Run the control in your terminal:

powerpipe control run azure_compliance.control.cis_v150_3_14

Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:

powerpipe login
powerpipe control run azure_compliance.control.cis_v150_3_14 --share

SQL

This control uses a named query:

with table_logs as (
select
a.id,
a.name,
log ->> 'category' as category,
(log ->> 'enabled')::boolean as enabled
from
azure_storage_account a,
jsonb_array_elements(a.default_table_diagnostic_settings) as b,
jsonb_array_elements(b -> 'properties' -> 'logs') as log
where
log ->> 'category' in ('StorageRead', 'StorageWrite', 'StorageDelete')
),
log_status as (
select
id,
name,
max(case when category = 'StorageRead' then (enabled::int) else 0 end) = 1 as read_enabled,
max(case when category = 'StorageWrite' then (enabled::int) else 0 end) = 1 as write_enabled,
max(case when category = 'StorageDelete' then (enabled::int) else 0 end) = 1 as delete_enabled
from table_logs
group by id, name
)
select
sa.id as resource,
case
when lower(sku_tier) = 'premium' then 'skip'
when default_table_diagnostic_settings is null then 'alarm'
when ls.read_enabled and ls.write_enabled and ls.delete_enabled then 'ok'
else 'alarm'
end as status,
case
when lower(sku_tier) = 'premium' then sa.name || ' is premium ' || kind || ' storage account.'
when default_table_diagnostic_settings is null then sa.name || ' table service logging disabled for read, write, delete requests.'
when ls.read_enabled and ls.write_enabled and ls.delete_enabled then sa.name || ' table service logging enabled for read, write, delete requests.'

trim(both ', ' from
case when not ls.read_enabled then 'read, ' else '' end ||
case when not ls.write_enabled then 'write, ' else '' end ||
case when not ls.delete_enabled then 'delete, ' else '' end
) || ' requests.'
end as reason
, sa.resource_group as resource_group
