Storage account Blob services should have Storage logging enabled for read, write, and delete requests
The Storage Blob service provides scalable, cost-efficient objective storage in the cloud. Storage Logging happens server-side and records details for both successful and failed requests. The logs show read, write, and delete operations against the blobs.
These logs allow users to see the details of read, write, and delete operations against the blobs.
