How do I view Azure Cloud DS LDAPS logs

Question

I'm decommissioning our IPA on-prem LDAP server with the intention of using an Azure Cloud DS for LDAPS authentication. So far I have LDAPS enabled on my DS and can successfully connect and browse with LDP.exe. I can also successfully perform ldap searches from one of my servers using a query similar to:

ldapsearch -x -H ldaps://ldaps.my.domain:636  -D "<obfuscated>" -W  -b ""dc=my,dc=domain" "(&(sAMAccountName=test55)(memberof=cn=myapp,ou=AADDC Users,"dc=my,dc=domain))"

However after replacing the legacy LDAP configuration in one of our applications with the Azure DS LDAPS configuration, authentication requests fail.

I would normally monitor the IPA Access Logs real-time to troubleshoot this type of scenario. An example of what I would see is shown below.

fd=136 slot=136 connection from 10.x.x.x. to 10.x.x.x
op=0 BIND dn="" method=128 version=3
op=0 RESULT err=0 tag=97 nentries=0 wtime=0.000294072 optime=0.000145388 etime=0.000437370 dn=""
op=1 SRCH base="dc=ipa,dc=mydomain,dc=biz" scope=2 filter="(uid=test55)" attrs="memberOf uid distinguishedName"
op=1 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=1 wtime=0.000087550 optime=0.001704841 etime=0.001789814
op=-1 fd=136 closed - B1

Is there a means for viewing similar logs from my Azure Cloud DS to examine LDAP activity?
