How to check Life Cycle management rules actions

Question

We have defined a life cycle management rule on one of container to archive if last modified is more than 1 days and then delete blobs if the last modified is more than 2 days.

Question here is: where to check whether action is triggered or not , the archive container name if the file got archived since my blobs are not deleted.

Observation from our side: no action is triggered though the blob last modified is more than 2 days.

ou can check for the LifecyclePolicyCompleted event in the storage account's activity log. The LifecyclePolicyCompleted event is logged when a lifecycle management policy has completed its execution.

To view the activity log for your storage account, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Azure portal and navigate to your storage account
2. Under Monitoring, select Activity log.
3. In the Filter pane, select the Subscription, Resource group, and Resource type for your storage account
4. In the Search box, enter LifecyclePolicyCompleted and press Enter.

You should see a list of events that match your search criteria. You can click on an event to view its details, including the time it was logged and the status of the lifecycle management policy.

If you are not seeing any LifecyclePolicyCompleted events in the activity log, it is possible that the lifecycle management policy has not been executed yet. If the policy is not executing please let me know and we can investigate with you directly.
