I have set up Monitor for Azure Blob Storage by Archiving logs to Storage as recommended here - Monitoring Azure Blob Storage | Microsoft Learn

I have storageAccount1 containing blobs for which I want to monitor any write/delete activites. So I am archiving logs to storageAccount2 with Diagnostic Settings like so.

However, after performing some Blob write operations in storageAccount1, I am not sure how to find the logs in storageAccount2 once any operation is performed. I checked the Storage Explorer (preview) -> Blob Container and found there are no containers there. I also checked Storage Explorer (preview) -> Table and found that there are no tables there. Where can I find the logs?

    There is a time lag for logs to be written. I think it's around 15-30 mins.

    Secondly, if you perform an action within a few mins of configuring the Azure Monitor, it might not log the initial operations. There is a slight time lag for the setting to kick in. But once it does, it should work fine.
