Azure Container Instances can stream both standard output/error and interactive console (exec) sessions to Azure Monitor through the built-in diagnostic settings resource provider. Enabling a diagnostic setting on the container group and selecting the ContainerInstanceLogs and ContainerInstanceConsoleLogs categories forwards those streams to the chosen Log Analytics workspace. Because Microsoft Sentinel can natively query any connected Log Analytics workspace, the security team can create detections or investigations without installing a sidecar or custom agent.
Sending only the Activity log does not capture container-level stdout/stderr or exec sessions. Exporting to an Azure Storage account would collect the data but would not make it immediately queriable in Sentinel without further ingestion steps. Installing the Log Analytics agent inside the container is not supported for ACI and is unnecessary when diagnostic settings are available.
