Those data types are arrays, so need to be strings at the end of a Summarize - I used https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/kusto/query/tostringfunction to allow this

Thanks ton Deleted

One more thing.. can you please help to get VM disk size and state added like stopped or running as I am not able to find any details in it for that.

or suggest any other query which will have all these details.

For running state if you don't have it in any of your tables (its not a default for logging) then you have to create a test. Here I'm joining the data to the Heartbeat Table as all Log Analytics computers will have this (you may wish to use another Table instead or in addition). Its a basic test as a Server could be up but the agent not sending data.

// left Table
VMComputer
| where _ResourceId != ""
| summarize by TimeGenerated, HostName, AzureImageSku, AzureResourceGroup,
               AzureLocation, AzureSize, Cpus, DependencyAgentVersion, 
               PhysicalMemoryMB, OperatingSystemFamily, OperatingSystemFullName, 
               VirtualMachineType, VirtualizationState,
               tostring(Ipv4Addresses), tostring(Ipv4DefaultGateways), tostring(Ipv4SubnetMasks), tostring(MacAddresses)
// right Table
| join (
    Heartbeat
    //
    // I consider a machine to be running if we have a positive heartbeat count in the past hour 
    // This only tests the agent not the server
    //
    | where TimeGenerated > ago(1h)
    | summarize  HeartbeatCount = count() by Computer
) on $left.HostName == $right.Computer   // join on the HostName, by mapping that to the Computer name 
| extend isRunning = iif(HeartbeatCount >=0   ,"Running","Not found")

For disk size you will need a counter - do you have any for disk, normally these are under the Perf table?

There is an example query when you OPEN a new Tab.

// Top 10 computers with the highest disk space
// Show the top 10 computers with the highest available disk space
Perf
| where CounterName == "Free Megabytes" and InstanceName == "_Total" 
| summarize arg_max(TimeGenerated, *) by Computer
| top 10 by CounterValue

regarding VM state its seems difficult to get the state of VMs with output what we are getting using

VMComputer
| where TimeGenerated > ago(1d)
| where _ResourceId != ""
| summarize by TimeGenerated, HostName, AzureImageSku, AzureResourceGroup,
AzureLocation, AzureSize, Cpus, DependencyAgentVersion,
PhysicalMemoryMB, OperatingSystemFamily, OperatingSystemFullName,
VirtualMachineType, VirtualizationState,
tostring(Ipv4Addresses), tostring(Ipv4DefaultGateways), tostring(Ipv4SubnetMasks), tostring(MacAddresses)

Like I want to get VM status in front of the above query output as Running or Stopped (Deallocated)
or Stopped.

If not possible, can you help to integrate below query details for disk space with VMComputer output

Perf
| where TimeGenerated > now(-10min) and CounterName == "% Free Space" and InstanceName !contains "DPM"
| where strlen(InstanceName) ==2 and InstanceName contains ":"
| summarize FreeDiskSpace = (avg(CounterValue)) by bin(TimeGenerated, 1h), Computer, InstanceName
| sort by TimeGenerated, Computer desc;

    Depending on your use case, if you just wanted to visually see this type of data a Azure Monitor Workbook should help.
    
    Please look for and open the file (RAW mode is best) at this link: https://github.com/CliveW-MSFT/KQLpublic/blob/master/KQL/Workbooks/AzureVMwithDiskspace.workbook
    
    you just need to COPY all the file content (Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C)
    
    Installation
    
    [Copy] the workbook file content (these are JSON files), open Azure Monitor Workbooks (from portal.azure.com) – open the “empty” Azure Monitor Workbook, in “advanced edit” mode (press the </> icon for advanced edit ). Please [paste] over any json that exists.
    
    Then Press [apply] then [Done Editing]
    
    This should look like
    
    You can use the Search bar (circled in red) to filter on state, like Succeeded or Deallocated etc...
    
    When you highlight a Virtual Machine, click on a ROW (and if there is data) you get the VM Connection info an or the Disk Space
