# Export to Azure Blob

You can use the Cloud Log Export feature to export your logs from Grafana Cloud Logs to your own long-term storage on Azure Blob storage.

## Before you begin

Before you begin you need the following:

- STORAGE\_ACCOUNT\_NAME
- RESOURCE\_GROUP
- STORAGE\_ACCOUNT\_REGION
- CONTAINER\_NAME
- Azure TENANT\_ID
- GRAFANA\_APPLICATION\_ID
- Azure SUBSCRIPTION\_ID

## Steps

To create an Azure Blob Storage logs export bucket:

01. In Grafana, click **Administration > Plugins** in the side navigation menu to view installed plugins.
02. Search for **Cloud logs exporter**.
03. On the Cloud Logs Export screen, click **Set up a bucket**.
04. On the Create a Logs Export Bucket page, select **Azure Blob Storage** as your target cloud provider.
    
    1. Create a new storage account with a container for block blobs.
    2. Create the storage account. The wizard provides a sample Azure command that you can modify.
05. Create the storage container account. The wizard provides a sample Azure command that you can modify.
06. Authorize the Cloud Logs Export service by opening the URL that initializes an Oauth flow. The wizard provides a sample Azure URL that you can modify to include your `TENANT_ID` and `GRAFANA_APPLICATION_ID`.
07. Grant the Cloud Logs Export service access to the Azure Blob Storage using a `Storage Blob Data Contributor` role assignment.
08. Specify your bucket details.
    
    1. Specify your Azure tenant ID.
    2. Specify your Storage account name.
    3. Specify a Container name.
09. Click **Test**. Grafana tests if the exporter has access to the cloud bucket. You should see the message “Bucket connection was successful.”
10. If the validation passes, click **Submit** to create the bucket.
