The Azure Monitor Query client library is used to execute read-only queries against Azure Monitor's two data platforms:
Resources:
Install the Azure Monitor Query client library for Python with pip:
pip install azure-monitor-query
Create the client
An authenticated client is required to query Logs or Metrics. The library includes both synchronous and asynchronous forms of the clients. To authenticate, create an instance of a token credential. Use that instance when creating a LogsQueryClient
, MetricsQueryClient
, or MetricsClient
. The following examples use DefaultAzureCredential
from the azure-identity package.
Consider the following example, which creates synchronous clients for both Logs and Metrics querying:
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.monitor.query import LogsQueryClient, MetricsQueryClient, MetricsClient
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
logs_query_client = LogsQueryClient(credential)
metrics_query_client = MetricsQueryClient(credential)
metrics_client = MetricsClient("https://<regional endpoint>", credential)
Asynchronous clients
The asynchronous forms of the query client APIs are found in the .aio
-suffixed namespace. For example:
from azure.identity.aio import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.monitor.query.aio import LogsQueryClient, MetricsQueryClient, MetricsClient
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
async_logs_query_client = LogsQueryClient(credential)
async_metrics_query_client = MetricsQueryClient(credential)
async_metrics_client = MetricsClient("https://<regional endpoint>", credential)
To use the asynchronous clients, you must also install an async transport, such as aiohttp.
pip install aiohttp
Configure client for Azure sovereign cloud
By default, all clients are configured to use the Azure public cloud. To use a sovereign cloud, provide the correct endpoint
argument when using LogsQueryClient
or MetricsQueryClient
. For MetricsClient
, provide the correct audience
argument instead. For example:
from azure.identity import AzureAuthorityHosts, DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.monitor.query import LogsQueryClient, MetricsQueryClient, MetricsClient
# Authority can also be set via the AZURE_AUTHORITY_HOST environment variable.
credential = DefaultAzureCredential(authority=AzureAuthorityHosts.AZURE_GOVERNMENT)
logs_query_client = LogsQueryClient(credential, endpoint="https://api.loganalytics.us/v1")
metrics_query_client = MetricsQueryClient(credential, endpoint="https://management.usgovcloudapi.net")
metrics_client = MetricsClient(
"https://usgovvirginia.metrics.monitor.azure.us", credential, audience="https://metrics.monitor.azure.us"
)
Note: Currently, MetricsQueryClient
uses the Azure Resource Manager (ARM) endpoint for querying metrics. You need the corresponding management endpoint for your cloud when using this client. This detail is subject to change in the future.
For examples of Logs and Metrics queries, see the Examples section.
Key concepts Logs query rate limits and throttlingThe Log Analytics service applies throttling when the request rate is too high. Limits, such as the maximum number of rows returned, are also applied on the Kusto queries. For more information, see Query API.
If you're executing a batch logs query, a throttled request returns a LogsQueryError
object. That object's code
value is ThrottledError
.
Each set of metric values is a time series with the following characteristics:
This example shows how to query a Log Analytics workspace. To handle the response and view it in a tabular form, the pandas
library is used. See the samples if you choose not to use pandas
.
The following example demonstrates how to query logs directly from an Azure resource without the use of a Log Analytics workspace. Here, the query_resource
method is used instead of query_workspace
. Instead of a workspace ID, an Azure resource identifier is passed in. For example, /subscriptions/{subscription-id}/resourceGroups/{resource-group-name}/providers/{resource-provider}/{resource-type}/{resource-name}
.
import os
import pandas as pd
from datetime import timedelta
from azure.monitor.query import LogsQueryClient, LogsQueryStatus
from azure.core.exceptions import HttpResponseError
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
client = LogsQueryClient(credential)
query = """AzureActivity | take 5"""
try:
response = client.query_resource(os.environ['LOGS_RESOURCE_ID'], query, timespan=timedelta(days=1))
if response.status == LogsQueryStatus.SUCCESS:
data = response.tables
else:
# LogsQueryPartialResult
error = response.partial_error
data = response.partial_data
print(error)
for table in data:
df = pd.DataFrame(data=table.rows, columns=table.columns)
print(df)
except HttpResponseError as err:
print("something fatal happened")
print(err)
Specify timespan
The timespan
parameter specifies the time duration for which to query the data. This value can take one of the following forms:
timedelta
timedelta
and a start datetime
datetime
/end datetime
For example:
import os
import pandas as pd
from datetime import datetime, timezone
from azure.monitor.query import LogsQueryClient, LogsQueryResult
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.core.exceptions import HttpResponseError
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
client = LogsQueryClient(credential)
query = """AppRequests | take 5"""
start_time=datetime(2021, 7, 2, tzinfo=timezone.utc)
end_time=datetime(2021, 7, 4, tzinfo=timezone.utc)
try:
response = client.query_workspace(
workspace_id=os.environ['LOG_WORKSPACE_ID'],
query=query,
timespan=(start_time, end_time)
)
if response.status == LogsQueryStatus.SUCCESS:
data = response.tables
else:
# LogsQueryPartialResult
error = response.partial_error
data = response.partial_data
print(error)
for table in data:
df = pd.DataFrame(data=table.rows, columns=table.columns)
print(df)
except HttpResponseError as err:
print("something fatal happened")
print(err)
Handle logs query response
The query_workspace
API returns either a LogsQueryResult
or a LogsQueryPartialResult
object. The batch_query
API returns a list that can contain LogsQueryResult
, LogsQueryPartialResult
, and LogsQueryError
objects. Here's a hierarchy of the response:
LogsQueryResult
|---statistics
|---visualization
|---tables (list of `LogsTable` objects)
|---name
|---rows
|---columns
|---columns_types
LogsQueryPartialResult
|---statistics
|---visualization
|---partial_error (a `LogsQueryError` object)
|---code
|---message
|---details
|---status
|---partial_data (list of `LogsTable` objects)
|---name
|---rows
|---columns
|---columns_types
The LogsQueryResult
directly iterates over the table as a convenience. For example, to handle a logs query response with tables and display it using pandas
:
response = client.query(...)
for table in response:
df = pd.DataFrame(table.rows, columns=[col.name for col in table.columns])
A full sample can be found here.
In a similar fashion, to handle a batch logs query response:
for result in response:
if result.status == LogsQueryStatus.SUCCESS:
for table in result:
df = pd.DataFrame(table.rows, columns=table.columns)
print(df)
A full sample can be found here.
Batch logs queryThe following example demonstrates sending multiple queries at the same time using the batch query API. The queries can either be represented as a list of LogsBatchQuery
objects or a dictionary. This example uses the former approach.
import os
from datetime import timedelta, datetime, timezone
import pandas as pd
from azure.monitor.query import LogsQueryClient, LogsBatchQuery, LogsQueryStatus
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
client = LogsQueryClient(credential)
requests = [
LogsBatchQuery(
query="AzureActivity | summarize count()",
timespan=timedelta(hours=1),
workspace_id=os.environ['LOG_WORKSPACE_ID']
),
LogsBatchQuery(
query= """bad query""",
timespan=timedelta(days=1),
workspace_id=os.environ['LOG_WORKSPACE_ID']
),
LogsBatchQuery(
query= """let Weight = 92233720368547758;
range x from 1 to 3 step 1
| summarize percentilesw(x, Weight * 100, 50)""",
workspace_id=os.environ['LOG_WORKSPACE_ID'],
timespan=(datetime(2021, 6, 2, tzinfo=timezone.utc), datetime(2021, 6, 5, tzinfo=timezone.utc)), # (start, end)
include_statistics=True
),
]
results = client.query_batch(requests)
for res in results:
if res.status == LogsQueryStatus.PARTIAL:
## this will be a LogsQueryPartialResult
print(res.partial_error)
for table in res.partial_data:
df = pd.DataFrame(table.rows, columns=table.columns)
print(df)
elif res.status == LogsQueryStatus.SUCCESS:
## this will be a LogsQueryResult
table = res.tables[0]
df = pd.DataFrame(table.rows, columns=table.columns)
print(df)
else:
# this will be a LogsQueryError
print(res.message)
Advanced logs query scenarios Set logs query timeout
The following example shows setting a server timeout in seconds. A gateway timeout is raised if the query takes more time than the mentioned timeout. The default is 180 seconds and can be set up to 10 minutes (600 seconds).
import os
from datetime import timedelta
from azure.monitor.query import LogsQueryClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
client = LogsQueryClient(credential)
response = client.query_workspace(
os.environ['LOG_WORKSPACE_ID'],
"range x from 1 to 10000000000 step 1 | count",
timespan=timedelta(days=1),
server_timeout=600 # sets the timeout to 10 minutes
)
Query multiple workspaces
The same logs query can be executed across multiple Log Analytics workspaces. In addition to the Kusto query, the following parameters are required:
workspace_id
- The first (primary) workspace IDadditional_workspaces
- A list of workspaces, excluding the workspace provided in the workspace_id
parameter. The parameter's list items can consist of the following identifier formats:
For example, the following query executes in three workspaces:
client.query_workspace(
<workspace_id>,
query,
timespan=timedelta(days=1),
additional_workspaces=['<workspace 2>', '<workspace 3>']
)
A full sample can be found here.
Include statisticsTo get logs query execution statistics, such as CPU and memory consumption:
include_statistics
parameter to True
.statistics
field inside the LogsQueryResult
object.The following example prints the query execution time:
query = "AzureActivity | top 10 by TimeGenerated"
result = client.query_workspace(
<workspace_id>,
query,
timespan=timedelta(days=1),
include_statistics=True
)
execution_time = result.statistics.get("query", {}).get("executionTime")
print(f"Query execution time: {execution_time}")
The statistics
field is a dict
that corresponds to the raw JSON response, and its structure can vary by query. The statistics are found within the query
property. For example:
{
"query": {
"executionTime": 0.0156478,
"resourceUsage": {...},
"inputDatasetStatistics": {...},
"datasetStatistics": [{...}]
}
}
Include visualization
To get visualization data for logs queries using the render operator:
include_visualization
property to True
.visualization
field inside the LogsQueryResult
object.For example:
query = (
"StormEvents"
"| summarize event_count = count() by State"
"| where event_count > 10"
"| project State, event_count"
"| render columnchart"
)
result = client.query_workspace(
<workspace_id>,
query,
timespan=timedelta(days=1),
include_visualization=True
)
print(f"Visualization result: {result.visualization}")
The visualization
field is a dict
that corresponds to the raw JSON response, and its structure can vary by query. For example:
{
"visualization": "columnchart",
"title": "the chart title",
"accumulate": False,
"isQuerySorted": False,
"kind": None,
"legend": None,
"series": None,
"yMin": "NaN",
"yMax": "NaN",
"xAxis": None,
"xColumn": None,
"xTitle": "x axis title",
"yAxis": None,
"yColumns": None,
"ySplit": None,
"yTitle": None,
"anomalyColumns": None
}
Interpretation of the visualization data is left to the library consumer. To use this data with the Plotly graphing library, see the synchronous or asynchronous code samples.
Metrics queryThe following example gets metrics for an Event Grid subscription. The resource ID (also known as resource URI) is that of an Event Grid topic.
The resource ID must be that of the resource for which metrics are being queried. It's normally of the format /subscriptions/<id>/resourceGroups/<rg-name>/providers/<source>/topics/<resource-name>
.
To find the resource ID/URI:
NOTE: The metrics are returned in the order of the metric_names
sent.
import os
from datetime import timedelta, datetime
from azure.monitor.query import MetricsQueryClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
client = MetricsQueryClient(credential)
start_time = datetime(2021, 5, 25)
duration = timedelta(days=1)
metrics_uri = os.environ['METRICS_RESOURCE_URI']
response = client.query_resource(
metrics_uri,
metric_names=["PublishSuccessCount"],
timespan=(start_time, duration)
)
for metric in response.metrics:
print(metric.name)
for time_series_element in metric.timeseries:
for metric_value in time_series_element.data:
print(metric_value.time_stamp)
Handle metrics query response
The metrics query API returns a MetricsQueryResult
object. The MetricsQueryResult
object contains properties such as a list of Metric
-typed objects, granularity
, namespace
, and timespan
. The Metric
objects list can be accessed using the metrics
param. Each Metric
object in this list contains a list of TimeSeriesElement
objects. Each TimeSeriesElement
object contains data
and metadata_values
properties. In visual form, the object hierarchy of the response resembles the following structure:
MetricsQueryResult
|---granularity
|---timespan
|---cost
|---namespace
|---resource_region
|---metrics (list of `Metric` objects)
|---id
|---type
|---name
|---unit
|---timeseries (list of `TimeSeriesElement` objects)
|---metadata_values
|---data (list of data points represented by `MetricValue` objects)
Example of handling response
import os
from azure.monitor.query import MetricsQueryClient, MetricAggregationType
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
client = MetricsQueryClient(credential)
metrics_uri = os.environ['METRICS_RESOURCE_URI']
response = client.query_resource(
metrics_uri,
metric_names=["MatchedEventCount"],
aggregations=[MetricAggregationType.COUNT]
)
for metric in response.metrics:
print(metric.name)
for time_series_element in metric.timeseries:
for metric_value in time_series_element.data:
if metric_value.count != 0:
print(
"There are {} matched events at {}".format(
metric_value.count,
metric_value.time_stamp
)
)
Query metrics for multiple resources
To query metrics for multiple Azure resources in a single request, use the query_resources
method of MetricsClient
. This method:
MetricsQueryClient
methods.Each Azure resource must reside in:
Furthermore:
from datetime import timedelta
import os
from azure.core.exceptions import HttpResponseError
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.monitor.query import MetricsClient, MetricAggregationType
endpoint = "https://westus3.metrics.monitor.azure.com"
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
client = MetricsClient(endpoint, credential)
resource_ids = [
"/subscriptions/<id>/resourceGroups/<rg-name>/providers/<source>/storageAccounts/<resource-name-1>",
"/subscriptions/<id>/resourceGroups/<rg-name>/providers/<source>/storageAccounts/<resource-name-2>"
]
response = client.query_resources(
resource_ids=resource_ids,
metric_namespace="Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts",
metric_names=["Ingress"],
timespan=timedelta(hours=2),
granularity=timedelta(minutes=5),
aggregations=[MetricAggregationType.AVERAGE],
)
for metrics_query_result in response:
print(metrics_query_result.timespan)
