Ensure that an Azure activity log alert is fired whenever "Create/Update MySQL Database" events are triggered within your Microsoft Azure cloud account. The log alerts get triggered when a new activity log event that matches the condition specified in the alert configuration occurs. For this conformity rule, the matched condition is "Whenever the Activity Log has an event with Category='Administrative', Signal name='Create/Update MySQL Database (servers/databases)'".
This rule resolution is part of the Conformity Security & Compliance tool for Azure.
Monitoring your Microsoft Azure account for "Create and Update MySQL Database" events can give you insights into the changes made within your cloud environment such as creating new MySQL databases or updating the properties for a specified MySQL database, and this can help reduce the time it takes to detect unauthorized activity.
