Log Analytics into Azure Lighthouse

I had a look at the community pages, but can't find a section specific to Lighthouse, so pardon me for posting here. If there is a dedicated space, I would appreciate a link.   I have an issue pull...

    SebastiaanR  I never even thought of a scenario where the managing tenant wouldn't have a subscription! Add even an Azure Free Account sub to it and see if that works.

Apply "Log Analytics Reader" role. "Contributor" rights will not give access to read/query logs.

Hope this helps!

    Thanks for the guidance.

    I've changed this, and I now get the LA Reader role assigned (at subscription level). Whenever I run any query, I still get the following error:

     

    ERROR RETRIEVING DATA
    Register resource provider 'Microsoft.Insights' for this subscription to enable this query If issue persists, please open a support ticket.
    Request id: 
     
    I've confirmed that the provider is registered against the subscription.
    When running this same query when logged in directly to the subscription, I get a successful result.
     
    This is the case with multiple subscriptions, which leads me to believe it is either still a permission issue. Especially considering the following alert I get via e-mail:

    {"statusCode":"Unauthorized","serviceRequestId":null,"statusMessage":"{\"error\":{\"code\":\"AuthorizationRequiredError\",\"message\":\"Valid authentication was not provided\"}}","eventCategory":"Administrative"}

      SebastiaanR Did you get a resolution for this?

       

      I've mirrored your scenario by setting up my provider with ONLY log analytics reader access to a test customer subscription, and I can successfully query log analytics (via Lighthouse delegation) with no errors. This suggests it's something specific to your provider tenant, which would require a support ticket for Microsoft to investigate.
