sp_pdw_log_user_data_mask (Azure Synapse Analytics)

  • Cikk

Applies to: Azure Synapse Analytics Analytics Platform System (PDW)

Use sp_pdw_log_user_data_masking to enable user data masking in Azure Synapse Analytics activity logs. User data masking affects the statements on all databases on the appliance.

Important

The Azure Synapse Analytics activity logs affected by sp_pdw_log_user_data_masking are certain Azure Synapse Analytics activity logs. sp_pdw_log_user_data_masking doesn't affect database transaction logs, or SQL Server error logs.

Syntax

Syntax for Azure Synapse Analytics and Analytics Platform System (PDW).

sp_pdw_log_user_data_masking [ [ @masking_mode = ] value ]
[ ; ]

Note

This syntax is not supported by serverless SQL pool in Azure Synapse Analytics.

Background

In the default configuration, Azure Synapse Analytics activity logs contain full Transact-SQL statements, and can in some cases include user data contained in operations such as INSERT, UPDATE, and SELECT statements. If there's a problem on the appliance, this permits the analysis of the conditions that caused the problem without a need to reproduce the issue. In order to prevent the user data from being written to Azure Synapse Analytics activity logs, customers can choose to turn on the user data masking by using this stored procedure. The statements are still written to Azure Synapse Analytics activity logs, but all the literals in statements that might contain user data are masked; replaced with some predefined constant values.

When transparent data encryption is enabled on the appliance, masking of the user data in Azure Synapse Analytics activity logs is automatically turned on.

Arguments

[ @masking_mode = ] masking_mode

Determines whether transparent data encryption log user data masking is enabled. masking_mode is int, and can be one of the following values:

Value Description
0 Disabled, user data appears in the Azure Synapse Analytics activity logs.
1 Enabled, user data statements appear in the Azure Synapse Analytics activity logs but the user data is masked.
2 Statements containing user data aren't written to the Azure Synapse Analytics activity logs.

Executing sp_pdw_log_user_data_masking without parameters returns the current state of transparent data encryption (TDE) log user data masking on the appliance as a scalar result set.

Remarks

User data masking in Azure Synapse Analytics activity logs enables replacement of literals with predefined constant values in SELECT and Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements, as they can contain user data. Setting masking_mode to 1 doesn't mask metadata, such as column names or table names. Setting masking_mode to 2 removes statements with metadata, such as column names or table names.

User data masking in Azure Synapse Analytics activity logs is implemented in the following way:

  • TDE and user data masking in Azure Synapse Analytics activity logs are turned off by default. The statements aren't automatically masked if database encryption isn't enabled on the appliance.

  • Enabling TDE on the appliance automatically turns on the user data masking in Azure Synapse Analytics activity logs.

  • Disabling TDE doesn't affect user data masking in Azure Synapse Analytics activity logs.

  • You can explicitly enable user data masking in Azure Synapse Analytics activity logs by using the sp_pdw_log_user_data_masking procedure.

Permissions

Requires membership in the sysadmin fixed database role, or CONTROL SERVER permission.

Examples

The following example enables TDE log user data masking on the appliance.

EXEC sp_pdw_log_user_data_masking 1;
