azure_network_watcher_approved

Determine the action to take when an Azure Network Watcher network watcher is not approved based on `Azure &gt; Network Watcher &gt; Network Watcher &gt; Approved &gt; *` policies.&#92;n&#92;nThe Approved control checks the status of the defined Approved sub-policies for the resource. If the resource is not approved according to any of these policies, this control raises an alarm and takes the defined enforcement action.&#92;n&#92;nFor any enforcement actions that specify `if new`, e.g., `Enforce: Delete unapproved if new`, this control will only take the enforcement actions for resources created within the last 60 minutes.&#92;n&#92;nSee [Approved](https://turbot.com/guardrails/docs/concepts/guardrails/approved) for more information.&#92;n

azure_network_watcher_approved_custom
