Great, enjoyed that 🙂

[@allthebeesaredead188]

I'd never seen the change analysis bit before, so thanks for that. Great video. The activity log only goes back so far though? You can have it configured to go to another location though for longer retention?

[@NTFAQGuy]

Yes you can just use diagnostic settings on the sub view of activity log and send it to all the normal targets like LAW, storage, event hub etc etc

A kind of lazy workaround I implemented was to have a policy that automatically tags a resource with UTC creation time. That makes it easier to check than having to expand the json view, although of course it can be modified. I always found it a bit puzzling creation date was not easily visible in the overview.

[@NoorMohammad-be1jq]

As usual it's useful, thank you!

[@NTFAQGuy]

Glad you think so!

[@VirtualPackets]
