To turn on Azure SQL auditing, go to Auditing under Security in your server or database blade, switch auditing on and then select the destination to store your audit data. In this case, I'm going to select blob storage. Select a storage account, and then specify the retention period as the number of days. The default retention days is zero, which means unlimited retention. You can click View audit logs to see the audit logs.
