Can we audit the File Share by using the Hybrid solution?

Hi,

So we know that technically we can't audit the Azure File Shares, look at who read/modified the file.
What if we use the hybrid solution in which we enable the cache on Windows Server. Then OS uses HTTPS protocol to transfer the files and the user uses SMB to map the drives with the destination on the Server. If we then activate auditing, will we se logs in the event viewer?

It's an idea to explor, sounds like a workaround. I'm wondering if anyone already tried that solution.

Warmly,
Micha

    Azure Storage logs in Azure Monitor is in public preview and is available for preview testing in all public cloud regions. Logging includes both SMB and REST operations. For more information please see Monitoring Azure Files. To enroll in this preview please fill out this form. You can view a list of logged operations here. It sounds like this might work for your use case. Please check this out and let us know if you have any questions.
