Change Analysis

Investigate what changed in your Azure environment between any two points in time. The Change Logs page surfaces every Create, Update, and Delete event captured from Azure Resource Graph, lets you filter by user and change type, and shows side-by-side before/after diffs for every changed property.

What You'll Learn

  • How to find Change Logs in the sidebar and what the page shows
  • Setting the time window and filtering by user or change type
  • Drilling through Management Groups, Subscriptions, Resource Groups, and Resources
  • Reading the Property Changes table and the raw JSON record
  • Sharing a specific investigation by URL

Key Capabilities

Time-Window Investigation

Pick any Start and End date and time. Every column, badge count, and change list on the page reflects that window.

Hierarchy Drill-Down

Navigate Management Groups, Subscriptions, Resource Groups, and Resources in a single columnar view. Color-coded badges show Create, Update, and Delete counts at every level.

Property-Level Diffs

Expand any change to see a Property / Old Value / New Value table. Added rows are tinted green, deleted rows are tinted red, and nested objects are expandable.

Filter by User and Change Type

Narrow on a single user or any combination of Create, Update, and Delete. Badges and lists everywhere on the page update instantly.

Container-Level Changes

A magnifying-lens icon next to a subscription or resource group surfaces changes made to that container itself, separate from changes to the resources inside it.

Shareable URL State

Time range, filters, expanded columns, and the selected entity are all in the URL. Bookmark a specific investigation or share the link with a teammate.

Related Features

Change Analysis sits alongside other change-investigation tools in StratoLens.

  • Activity Logs (sibling under Azure Logs) shows Azure operations and API calls. Use Activity Logs for "who tried to do what", and Change Logs for "what actually changed."
  • The detail panel's View in Explorer button cross-links into Resource Explorer with the same entity selected.
  • Change Tracking compares two StratoLens scans side-by-side for snapshot-level diffs and tenant-wide ignore rules.
