Linux diagnostic settings in Azure Cloud through Terraform
Create a resource group, a virtual machine, and a storage account first before using Terraform to activate Linux diagnostic settings in Azure Cloud.
The "azurerm virtual machine extension" resource in Terraform can be used to enable the Linux Diagnostics extension on the virtual machine once it has been constructed.
Below is the terraform code for the same :
