Supporting various auth methods for clusters’ connections

By allowing users to set up connections with alternative credentials, we now provide seamless experience for managing clusters from various user accounts or Azure AD directories.

When adding new cluster connections, if you have multiple user accounts and want to authenticate with a different account, or your account is linked to multiple Azure AD directories, you can follow the optional steps described in this document to create the connections.

Once connected, you can switch between clusters associated with different credentials within a unified interface, without a need to repeatedly sign in and sign out or switch directories.

In the above image The HomeCluster connection uses different credentials from those of the signed-in user, as indicated by the small icon of a person in the upper-left corner.

Heatmap - new visual in ADX dashboards

We’re happy to let you know that we just released a new Heatmap visual.

Heatmaps are graphical representations of data using color. They are most commonly used to provide a clear view of numerical values.

    This feature works quite well. The color palette seems to show the largest values in light red (or blue) and the smallest value in deep red (or blue). I expected it vice versa.

    The link to the Heatmap docs is broken. This is the correct link

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-explorer/dashboard-visuals#heatmap

    Also, would it be possible to select the "direction" of the highlighting? For example, I'd like to highlight the lowest values.

    Looks good! The link to the 'heapmap documentation' doesn't work well (encoding issue).
