You are troubleshooting a security issue for an Azure Storage account. You enable the diagnostic logs for the storage account. What should you use to retrieve the diagnostics logs?

Explanation

AzCopy is the correct tool because it is a command-line utility specifically designed to copy data to and from Azure Storage, including retrieving diagnostic logs stored in blob containers within a storage account. When you enable diagnostic logging for Azure Storage, the logs are written to the $logs blob container, and AzCopy is the appropriate tool to download or transfer those log files efficiently.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Security & Compliance admin center) is used for Microsoft 365 compliance and audit logs, not Azure Storage diagnostic logs.
• B (SQL query editor in Azure) is used to query Azure SQL databases, not blob storage log files.
• C (File Explorer in Windows) cannot natively connect to and retrieve Azure Storage diagnostic logs without additional configuration or tools.

Memory tip: Think of AzCopy as your "Azure clipboard" - any time you need to move or copy data into or out of Azure Storage (including logs), AzCopy is your go-to command-line tool. If the question involves transferring or retrieving files from Azure Storage, AzCopy is almost always the answer.
