Question
- Should one be concerned when the error "Storage account access failed" is noticed within the "Flow logs status" column on the Prisma Cloud UI?
Environment
- Prisma Cloud
- Cloud Accounts
- Storage and flow log permissions
- Cloud Accounts
- Cloud
- Azure
Answer
- When setting up 'flow logs' within Prisma Cloud, if one notices the error "storage account access failed" in the Cloud Account -> Status Column then it means that
- There could be a firewall on the 'Azure storage -> Network Configuration' section that is blocking Prisma Cloud's ability to reach the flow log container (or)
- There is no flow log container present within the storage account.
- However, this does not mean that Prisma Cloud cannot reach the Storage account configured on Azure. (See Additional information [1])
Additional Information
- To test if a Storage Account ingestion within Prisma Cloud:
- Successful: Run a RQL with the Storage account name and check if the results are shown. If yes, check the JSON by clicking the 'View Config' and verify the data is current.
- Failed. : Run the same RQL and if you do not notice the said 'Storage Account/Accounts' within the list of results, then it is a different issue and needs a support ticket.
