Resource-centric log queries with the Azure Monitor Query libraries

The Azure SDK team released the Azure Monitor Query client libraries for .NET, Java, JavaScript, and Python in October 2021. However, customer feedback indicated the need for a Go library and resource-centric log query APIs. Resource-centric queries allow targeting logs for specific Azure resources by their resource ID. The minimum package versions for the resource-centric log query APIs are available for .NET, Go, Java, JavaScript, and Python. The article explains how to query logs for a single Azure resource and provides language-specific code samples.

Steps to query a single Azure resource's logs

1. Invoke the AddLogsQueryClient and UseCredential methods in the Program.cs file.
2. Query the resource via a call to QueryResource or QueryResourceAsync methods, depending on the language being used.
3. Use the resource's ID, which can be found in the Azure portal under the Overview blade in the JSON View link.

Feedback welcome

The Azure Monitor Query libraries are continually evolving, and feedback on how to improve the libraries is appreciated. For more information and language-specific code samples, refer to the links provided in the article.
