Policy: Azure > CIS v3.0 > 06 - Logging & Monitoring > 06.01 - Configuring Diagnostic Settings > 06.01.01 - Ensure that a 'Diagnostic Setting' exists for Subscription Activity Logs

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 1

Enable Diagnostic settings for exporting activity logs. Diagnostic settings are available for each individual resource within a subscription. Settings should be configured for all appropriate resources for your environment.

A diagnostic setting controls how a diagnostic log is exported. By default, logs are retained only for 90 days. Diagnostic settings should be defined so that logs can be exported and stored for a longer duration in order to analyze security activities within an Azure subscription.
