## Key Concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| Logs | Log and performance data from Azure resources via Kusto Query Language |
| Metrics | Numeric time-series data collected at regular intervals |
| Workspace ID | Log Analytics workspace identifier |
| Resource ID | Azure resource URI for metrics queries |
| QueryTimeInterval | Time range for the query |
## Logs Query Operations
### Basic Query
```java
import com.azure.monitor.query.models.LogsQueryResult;
import com.azure.monitor.query.models.LogsTableRow;
import com.azure.monitor.query.models.QueryTimeInterval;
import java.time.Duration;
LogsQueryResult result = logsClient.queryWorkspace(
"{workspace-id}",
"AzureActivity | summarize count() by ResourceGroup | top 10 by count_",
new QueryTimeInterval(Duration.ofDays(7))
);
for (LogsTableRow row : result.getTable().getRows()) {
System.out.println(row.getColumnValue("ResourceGroup") + ": " + row.getColumnValue("count_"));
}
```
### Query by Resource ID
```java
LogsQueryResult result = logsClient.queryResource(
"{resource-id}",
"AzureMetrics | where TimeGenerated > ago(1h)",
new QueryTimeInterval(Duration.ofDays(1))
);
for (LogsTableRow row : result.getTable().getRows()) {
System.out.println(row.getColumnValue("MetricName") + " " + row.getColumnValue("Average"));
}
```
### Map Results to Custom Model
```java
// Define model class
public class ActivityLog {
private String resourceGroup;
private String operationName;
public String getResourceGroup() { return resourceGroup; }
public String getOperationName() { return operationName; }
}
// Query with model mapping
List<ActivityLog> logs = logsClient.queryWorkspace(
"{workspace-id}",
"AzureActivity | project ResourceGroup, OperationName | take 100",
new QueryTimeInterval(Duration.ofDays(2)),
ActivityLog.class
);
for (ActivityLog log : logs) {
System.out.println(log.getOperationName() + " - " + log.getResourceGroup());
}
```
### Batch Query
```java
import com.azure.monitor.query.models.LogsBatchQuery;
import com.azure.monitor.query.models.LogsBatchQueryResult;
import com.azure.monitor.query.models.LogsBatchQueryResultCollection;
import com.azure.core.util.Context;
LogsBatchQuery batchQuery = new LogsBatchQuery();
String q1 = batchQuery.addWorkspaceQuery("{workspace-id}", "AzureActivity | count", new QueryTimeInterval(Duration.ofDays(1)));
String q2 = batchQuery.addWorkspaceQuery("{workspace-id}", "Heartbeat | count", new QueryTimeInterval(Duration.ofDays(1)));
String q3 = batchQuery.addWorkspaceQuery("{workspace-id}", "Perf | count", new QueryTimeInterval(Duration.ofDays(1)));
LogsBatchQueryResultCollection results = logsClient
.queryBatchWithResponse(batchQuery, Context.NONE)
.getValue();
LogsBatchQueryResult result1 = results.getResult(q1);
LogsBatchQueryResult result2 = results.getResult(q2);
LogsBatchQueryResult result3 = results.getResult(q3);
// Check for failures
if (result3.getQueryResultStatus() == LogsQueryResultStatus.FAILURE) {
System.err.println("Query failed: " + result3.getError().getMessage());
}
```
### Query with Options
```java
import com.azure.monitor.query.models.LogsQueryOptions;
import com.azure.core.http.rest.Response;
LogsQueryOptions options = new LogsQueryOptions()
.setServerTimeout(Duration.ofMinutes(10))
.setIncludeStatistics(true)
.setIncludeVisualization(true);
Response<LogsQueryResult> response = logsClient.queryWorkspaceWithResponse(
"{workspace-id}",
"AzureActivity | summarize count() by bin(TimeGenerated, 1h)",
new QueryTimeInterval(Duration.ofDays(7)),
options,
Context.NONE
);
LogsQueryResult result = response.getValue();
// Access statistics
BinaryData statistics = result.getStatistics();
// Access visualization data
BinaryData visualization = result.getVisualization();
```
### Query Multiple Workspaces
```java
import java.util.Arrays;
LogsQueryOptions options = new LogsQueryOptions()
.setAdditionalWorkspaces(Arrays.asList("{workspace-id-2}", "{workspace-id-3}"));
Response<LogsQueryResult> response = logsClient.queryWorkspaceWithResponse(
"{workspace-id-1}",
"AzureActivity | summarize count() by TenantId",
new QueryTimeInterval(Duration.ofDays(1)),
options,
Context.NONE
);
```
## Metrics Query Operations
### Basic Metrics Query
```java
import com.azure.monitor.query.models.MetricsQueryResult;
import com.azure.monitor.query.models.MetricResult;
import com.azure.monitor.query.models.TimeSeriesElement;
import com.azure.monitor.query.models.MetricValue;
import java.util.Arrays;
MetricsQueryResult result = metricsClient.queryResource(
"{resource-uri}",
Arrays.asList("SuccessfulCalls", "TotalCalls")
);
for (MetricResult metric : result.getMetrics()) {
System.out.println("Metric: " + metric.getMetricName());
for (TimeSeriesElement ts : metric.getTimeSeries()) {
System.out.println(" Dimensions: " + ts.getMetadata());
for (MetricValue value : ts.getValues()) {
System.out.println(" " + value.getTimeStamp() + ": " + value.getTotal());
}
}
}
```
### Metrics with Aggregations
```java
import com.azure.monitor.query.models.MetricsQueryOptions;
import com.azure.monitor.query.models.AggregationType;
Response<MetricsQueryResult> response = metricsClient.queryResourceWithResponse(
"{resource-id}",
Arrays.asList("SuccessfulCalls", "TotalCalls"),
new MetricsQueryOptions()
.setGranularity(Duration.ofHours(1))
.setAggregations(Arrays.asList(AggregationType.AVERAGE, AggregationType.COUNT)),
Context.NONE
);
MetricsQueryResult result = response.getValue();
```
### Query Multiple Resources (MetricsClient)
```java
import com.azure.monitor.query.MetricsClient;
import com.azure.monitor.query.MetricsClientBuilder;
import com.azure.monitor.query.models.MetricsQueryResourcesResult;
MetricsClient metricsClient = new MetricsClientBuilder()
.credential(new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build())
.endpoint("{endpoint}")
.buildClient();
MetricsQueryResourcesResult result = metricsClient.queryResources(
Arrays.asList("{resourceId1}", "{resourceId2}"),
Arrays.asList("{metric1}", "{metric2}"),
"{metricNamespace}"
);
for (MetricsQueryResult queryResult : result.getMetricsQueryResults()) {
for (MetricResult metric : queryResult.getMetrics()) {
System.out.println(metric.getMetricName());
metric.getTimeSeries().stream()
.flatMap(ts -> ts.getValues().stream())
.forEach(mv -> System.out.println(
mv.getTimeStamp() + " Count=" + mv.getCount() + " Avg=" + mv.getAverage()));
}
}
```
## Response Structure
### Logs Response Hierarchy
```
LogsQueryResult
├── statistics (BinaryData)
├── visualization (BinaryData)
├── error
└── tables (List<LogsTable>)
├── name
├── columns (List<LogsTableColumn>)
│ ├── name
│ └── type
└── rows (List<LogsTableRow>)
├── rowIndex
└── rowCells (List<LogsTableCell>)
```
### Metrics Response Hierarchy
```
MetricsQueryResult
├── granularity
├── timeInterval
├── namespace
├── resourceRegion
└── metrics (List<MetricResult>)
├── id, name, type, unit
└── timeSeries (List<TimeSeriesElement>)
├── metadata (dimensions)
└── values (List<MetricValue>)
├── timeStamp
├── count, average, total
├── maximum, minimum
```
## Error Handling
```java
import com.azure.core.exception.HttpResponseException;
import com.azure.monitor.query.models.LogsQueryResultStatus;
try {
LogsQueryResult result = logsClient.queryWorkspace(workspaceId, query, timeInterval);
// Check partial failure
if (result.getStatus() == LogsQueryResultStatus.PARTIAL_FAILURE) {
System.err.println("Partial failure: " + result.getError().getMessage());
}
} catch (HttpResponseException e) {
System.err.println("Query failed: " + e.getMessage());
System.err.println("Status: " + e.getResponse().getStatusCode());
}
```
## Best Practices
1. **Use batch queries** — Combine multiple queries into a single request
2. **Set appropriate timeouts** — Long queries may need extended server timeout
3. **Limit result size** — Use `top` or `take` in Kusto queries
4. **Use projections** — Select only needed columns with `project`
5. **Check query status** — Handle PARTIAL_FAILURE results gracefully
6. **Cache results** — Metrics don't change frequently; cache when appropriate
7. **Migrate to new packages** — Plan migration to `azure-monitor-query-logs` and `azure-monitor-query-metrics`
