Hello @antara.das Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A. I understand that you want to monitor your Azure Storage which has CSV files.

You can use Azure Monitor to monitor Azure Storage- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/overview

Please find more details here- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/monitor-blob-storage?tabs=azure-portal

"Azure Blob Storage creates monitoring data by using Azure Monitor, which is a full stack monitoring service in Azure. Azure Monitor provides a complete set of features to monitor your Azure resources and resources in other clouds and on-premises."

For getting information regarding operations that were performed within an Azure resource, you will need Azure Resource Logs. You will find information on the same here- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/resource-logs

Resource logs aren't collected by default. This article describes the diagnostic setting required for each Azure resource to send its resource logs to different destinations- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/resource-logs

Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions and we will be glad to assist you further. Thank you!
