Azure Application Gateway Logs capture essential information like access to your gateways (caller’s IP, response latency, and more) or security events to detect or prevent threats.

Supported log categories:

Log Category	Description
Access log	This log can be used to view Application Gateway access patterns and analyze important information. This includes the caller’s IP, requested URL, response latency, return code, and bytes in and out. An access log is collected every 60 seconds. This log contains one record per instance of Application Gateway. The Application Gateway instance is identified by the instanceId property.
Firewall log	This log can be used to view the requests that are logged through either detection or prevention mode of an application gateway that is configured with the web application firewall. Firewall logs are collected every 60 seconds.

Requirements and setup

Refer to the Azure Logs page for more information about setting up and using this integration.

Settings

eventhub : string An Event Hub is a fully managed, real-time data ingestion service. Elastic recommends using only letters, numbers, and the hyphen (-) character for Event Hub names to maximize compatibility. You can use existing Event Hubs having underscores (_) in the Event Hub name; in this case, the integration will replace underscores with hyphens (-) when it uses the Event Hub name to create dependent Azure resources behind the scenes (e.g., the storage account container to store Event Hub consumer offsets). Elastic also recommends using a separate event hub for each log type as the field mappings of each log type differ. Default value insights-operational-logs.

consumer_group : string The publish/subscribe mechanism of Event Hubs is enabled through consumer groups. A consumer group is a view (state, position, or offset) of an entire event hub. Consumer groups enable multiple consuming applications to each have a separate view of the event stream, and to read the stream independently at their own pace and with their own offsets. Default value: $Default

connection_string : string The connection string is required to communicate with Event Hubs, see steps here.

A Blob Storage account is required in order to store/retrieve/update the offset or state of the eventhub messages. This means that after stopping the Azure logs package it can start back up at the spot that it stopped processing messages.

storage_account : string The name of the storage account where the state/offsets will be stored and updated.

storage_account_key : string The storage account key, this key will be used to authorize access to data in your storage account.

storage_account_container : string The storage account container where the integration stores the checkpoint data for the consumer group. It is an advanced option to use with extreme care. You MUST use a dedicated storage account container for each Azure log type (activity, sign-in, audit logs, and others). DO NOT REUSE the same container name for more than one Azure log type. See Container Names for details on naming rules from Microsoft. The integration generates a default container name if not specified.

resource_manager_endpoint : string Optional, by default we are using the azure public environment, to override, users can provide a specific resource manager endpoint in order to use a different azure environment.

Resource manager endpoints:

		# Azure ChinaCloud
https://management.chinacloudapi.cn/

# Azure GermanCloud
https://management.microsoftazure.de/

# Azure PublicCloud
https://management.azure.com/

# Azure USGovernmentCloud

Logs

application_gateway

The application_gateway data stream of the Azure Logs package will collect any Application Gateway log events that have been streamed through an Azure event hub.

An example event for application_gateway looks as following:
