what do StorageRead and StorageWrite represent

I am trying to understand what properties Azure monitoring are recording for a storage account/file share. One of the property is Category, the explanation here does not make sense to me.

From this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-files-monitoring?tabs=azure-portal#collection-and-routing

Category              Description
StorageRead     Read operations on objects.
StorageWrite    Write operations on objects.
StorageDelete   Delete operations on objects.

What does objects represent here? Can it be a file from Azure file sharing?

Solution

Objects represent File Shares, Directories and Files in context of File Storage.

UPDATE

So I configured one of my storage accounts for logging and specified that the logs be stored in another storage account (don't have a log analytics workspace in my subscription that I could have used).

enter image description here

After that I performed following operations:

Shares: Create, list, delete
Directory: Create, list, delete
File: Create, list, delete

I noticed that 3 blob containers were created in the storage account I specified during configuration:

enter image description here

These blob containers contained some JSON files that have the logs of the operations I performed. It took a few minutes for the initial blob container creation and then there was a few minutes delay in getting the data in the blob containers after an operation has been performed.
