Azure Monitor Log Queries

Log queries help you to fully leverage the value of the data collected in Azure Monitor logs. A powerful query language allows you to join data from multiple tables, aggregate large sets of data and perform complex operations with minimal code. You can answer virtually any questions and analysis performed as long as the supporting data has been collected and you understand how to construct the right query. There are features such as insights and solutions process log data without exposing you to the underlying queries. To fully leverage other features of Azure Monitor , you need to grasp how queries are constructed and how to use them to interactively analyze data in Azure Monitor logs. To write these queries we will be using a language which is known as KUSTO. This is very similar to SQL query language that we use with SQL Server relational databases.
