Hi Arjun,

Thanks for your query. Getting comfortable with KQL does take some effort, especially in the early stages. There are plenty of great resources available beyond the SC‑200 Microsoft Learning path.

Before diving in, make sure you have access to a practice tenant so you can work with real logs and build your analysis skills. If you’re just getting started, I strongly recommend this excellent resource:

Must Learn KQL (Rod Trent)

On top of that, this is another valuable learning path:

You’ll also find a lot of helpful content on YouTube, Pluralsight, and Udemy to reinforce your learning with hands‑on demonstrations.

All the best on your learning journey.
