Configure Firewall Settings
1. Create SQL Database
Log in to your Azure account at https://portal.azure.com/.
Click on SQL Database, in the left-hand column.
Click on Add, in the right-hand column.
Under the Database Name field, enter "AuditEventLog" as the name.
Under the Subscription field, select the relevant Subscription you wish to use.
Under the Resource Group field, create a new Resource Group or use an existing one.
Under the Select Source field, keep the default option 'Blank Database' selected.

Make sure that Allow access to Azure services is set to ON.
