Log Analytics
A tool in Azure Monitor to query and analyze collected log and performance data.
Log Analytics is a feature within Azure Monitor that provides a centralized workspace for collecting, storing, and querying log and performance data from Azure resources, on-premises systems, and other clouds. Data is ingested into a Log Analytics workspace, where it is queried using Kusto Query Language (KQL) to surface trends, troubleshoot issues, and support alerting rules. A common AZ-900 confusion is treating Log Analytics and Azure Monitor as separate products: Log Analytics is the query and analysis engine inside Azure Monitor, not a standalone service, while the workspace is the storage and query layer the platform relies on.
