Log Analytics Workspace with Multiple subscription
Hi,
A single Log Analytics workspace can monitor resources in all of your subscriptions as long as they are under the same Tenant. For example if you have Azure SQL database in Subscription A and Log Analytics Workspace in Subscription B you can send the logs and metrics from that Azure SQL database to the Log Analytics workspace.
Even if you opt in to having multiple workspaces Log Analytics supports querying multiple workspaces at the same time. Of course there is a limit. You can query maximum of 100 workspaces together.

The queries that you create in Logs view can be pinned to Azure dashboards.
Thank you Stan. it was really helpful and will start exploring things accordingly.
Just Curious, there are so many solutions available at Log analytics what my doubt here is, all these solutions are free with Log analytics plan or it will cost separate. if it is a bundle with a Log analytics plan then which plan will have the most coverage.
Thanks in advance.
I will probably not able to cover everything around pricing here but I will try to give a little bit explanation. Log Analytics is part of Azure Monitor. With both Azure Monitor and Log Analytics you pay for what you use. Check the official pricing pages but for log analytics specifically you will get charged per ingested GB. Keep in mind that there are some other services in Azure like Azure Security Center that use Log Analytics as platform for storing logs. When those services use it as platform you may have different pricing. For example ASC pricing is per node and for each node you get certain amount of data you can store for free (basically you pay for it via the ASC node price) but if you exceed that daily limit you will have to pay for the amount you have exceeded via the standard Log Analytics pricing. Azure Automation also have a few services where you get some data for free but for other you have to pay per GB. All this information is available on Azure Pricing page.
I hope this helps.
