Access to cross-resource functions from within a function?
Step 1: Create a function (with alias 'productavailability') in an application insights instance. availabilityResults | where name == "blah" Step 2: From a LA workspace, access the fun...
CliveWatson Thanks for your reply. Sure.
// definition saved with alias 'allproductmvp'
union withsource= SourceApp
app('5c657003-fc6a-4a63-99f9-3608ab4bd293').productmvp,
app('23bdf41b-38c2-4292-b960-35a613c777f6').productmvp
// end definition
I can run the statement (function body) just fine, but when I try to run the function:
allproductmvp

I doubt it's this but you can try an isfuzzy=true in case one/both the the workspaces isn't available - I'll try and take a deeper look tomorrow. e.g.
union isfuzzy=true withsource = SourceApp
workspace('Fabrikamltdprod').SecurityEvent,
workspace('contosoretail-IT').SecurityEvent
| parse SourceApp with * "('" applicationName "')" *
CliveWatson Thanks for looking into this, but I think my case is falling under a known issue.
A function in Azure Monitor cannot contain another function.https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/log-query/functions
This seems like an important feature in order to avoid violations of the DRY principle. Would you happen to know if this is on the product backlog or a related user voice item?
- CliveWatsonI will ask...thanks for the info, and sorry I wasn't able to look at this on Friday.

Good news, this just back from the product group...
"This feature is work in progress and should be released in the next week or so"
I'll keep you updated if/when I hear more. Thanks Clive
