What? You haven’t heard of Kusto or KQL?
Increasingly, Azure is becoming the infrastructure backbone for many corporations. It is imperative then, that you have the ability to query Azure to gain insights to the Azure services your company is using. The Kusto Query Language, or KQL for short, is the language you use to query these Azure services such as Azure Log Analytics, Azure Security Center, Azure Application Insights, and Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection.
Kusto is the new database engine that stores data for all of these services. Kusto was designed from scratch to be a “big data” repository for Azure that was easy to query using KQL.
The course starts with the basics of KQL, the Kusto Query Language. In the first module alone you’ll learn 80% of the commands to cover most of the queries you’ll need.
Most, but not all, as KQL has many more commands to handle unique needs. After learning a variety of aggregation operators, you will progress to advanced KQL abilities such as machine learning and time series analysis.
Finally, you will explore how to export the results of your KQL queries to CSV files and PowerBI. When you’re finished with this course, you will have the skills and knowledge of the Kusto Query Language needed to gain valuable insights to your Azure services.
