I’m using Terraform to deploy infrastructure with Azure. Terraform makes some requests that, even with debug logging, don’t display the full HTTP request in the logs, so it’s tricky to identify the specific request/issue when a request fails.

I have a request that is returning a 403 Forbidden error (“This request is not authorized to perform this operation”). I have a Request ID and a timestamp.

In the Azure console, how can I find the reason that this request failed? In AWS (where I’m coming from), I could use CloudTrail to find the RequestID, and it would show me the full request and which permission is missing.

I tried Activity Log, but searching for this request ID didn’t return any results.

Microsoft Support is not an option because they tend to take days to weeks to respond to support requests, and I’m not at liberty to increase our support plan in my company.
