Logic App workflows should have resource logs enabled
Checks whether each Azure Logic App workflow has `diagnostic settings` configured to send resource logs. The control inspects the diagnostic settings attached to every workflow resource and evaluates whether resource log collection is set up for it.
Audit enabling of resource logs. This enables you to recreate activity trails to use for investigation purposes; when a security incident occurs or when your network is compromised.
What this control checks
Logic App workflows (Microsoft.Logic/workflows) must have a diagnostic setting with logs enabled.
Common pitfalls
Default required retention is 365 days
The requiredRetentionDays parameter has a defaultValue of 365. The required resource logs retention in days.
Policy effect is AuditIfNotExists by default
The effect parameter has a defaultValue of AuditIfNotExists. The allowed values are AuditIfNotExists and Disabled.
