Table: azure_security_center_automation - Query Azure Security Center Automations using SQL

Azure Security Center Automations is a feature within Microsoft Azure that allows you to automate responses to security alerts. It provides an automated way to respond to and manage alerts for various Azure resources, including virtual machines, databases, web applications, and more. Azure Security Center Automations helps you stay informed about the security state of your Azure resources and take appropriate actions when predefined conditions are met.

Table Usage Guide

The azure_security_center_automation table provides insights into the automation settings within Azure Security Center. As a security engineer, explore automation-specific details through this table, including the automation name, resource group, and associated metadata. Utilize it to uncover information about your security automations, such as their configurations, intended actions, and the resources they are associated with.

Export

This table is available as a standalone Exporter CLI. Steampipe exporters are stand-alone binaries that allow you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_export_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/export.sh)" -- azure

You can pass the configuration to the command with the --config argument:

steampipe_export_azure --config '<your_config>' azure_security_center_automation
