Help with LogAnalytics in Azure
I have a LogAnalytics Workspace and a workbook. I want to create custom tables. when I try to create a Custom DCR table on the 2nd screen it wants me to import a .json file. WTF? I have no .json file, I just want to create a few tables and then use PowerShell to write data to them.
why is this asking for a .json file? How do I create this .json file? what is the format of this .json file? If I have 5 fields (or 5 tables I want to create)
T1, T2, T3, T4, T5
Also, is there any really good YouTube vids on creating workbooks? What I really want to do is collect data from systems using PowerShell and then write that data to my workbook. Any detailed instruction on doing that would be nice.
Thanks.
Hi, there is an example JSON file in the docs, its merely there to provide the required data Add or delete tables and columns in Azure Monitor Logs - Azure Monitor | Microsoft Learn
However you can use Poweshell to do this, see the same link
For Workbooks please see: Create or edit an Azure Workbook - Azure Monitor | Microsoft Learn A workbook will be used to visualize the data you have in the custom Tables you created above.
