Log Analytics is a great way to query your data and reach insights.
Did you know Log Analytics allows you to easily share your insights and queries with others – right from the UI?
How to?
After composing your query, you can use our copy link menu to choose what you want to share:
You can:
1. Copy a link to the query – A link to the query will be copied to your clipboard, recipients will be able to drill into Log Analytics and run the query you shared with them.
2. Copy query text – your query text and a link to the query will be copied to the clipboard.
3. Copy results – your result set and a link to the query will be copied to your clipboard.
After selecting what you want to share, simply paste it in your favorite tool.
In my example, I used e-mail:
Please note, the recipient of your query must have sufficient permissions and Azure access to run the query.
Receiving a query:
When your recipients receives the query link, all they need to do is click it.
Log Analytics will open in the right context and will run the query:
Summary:
Sharing an insight right from the UI is quick and easy.
Try using it today!

This installment is part of a broader series to keep you up to date with the latest features in Azure Sentinel. The installments will be bite-sized to enable you to easily digest the new content.
Today we are announcing a new feature in Azure Sentinel that enhances our multi-workspace and multi-tenant capabilities.
As you might know, there are certain occasions where your Azure Sentinel environment is spread across multiple workspaces. There are various reasons for this, like data ownership requirements or multi-tenant/multi-geography setups. For a full explanation of use cases and alternatives, refer to Extend Sentinel across workspaces/tenants.
In these cases, there’s normally the need to have a central place where we can oversee the whole environment. This can be for example a global SOC or in the case of an MSSP, a multi-customer console. This central place can be also used to replicate configuration (analytics rules, workbooks, playbooks,…) and manage all your workspace from a single point, ideally using DevOps processes and tooling. The following diagram describes this setup:
Up to now, customers and partners were able to do many things across workspaces, like hunting, workbooks and incident management.
Today we are happy to present the ability to create Analytics Rules that inspect data stored across multiple workspaces! 
With this new feature you can now create in your Central SOC, an analytics rule that spans across other workspaces, like shown in this picture:
This can also be used in a multi-tenant setup (using Azure Lighthouse) like shown here:
There are some things you need to consider when using this feature:
One of the great things about this feature, is that alerts and incidents created as part of a cross-workspace analytics rule, will also contain all the related entities, even if those entities are not from the workspace where the rule and incident where triggered.
This, for example, will allow analysts to analyze data from all workspaces related to an alert/incident.
Some other features are still not fully functional in the cross-workspace scenario, like full visual investigation or UEBA. These will come in the future.
There are mainly two scenarios where customer and partners can benefit from this new feature:
There are other scenarios where customers and partners should not use cross-workspace rules:
Creating a cross-workspace rule is very easy…the only thing that changes compared to a regular rule is the query itself. In order to span multiple workspaces, you need to include the workspace and union KQL statements, adding tables from other workspaces as needed (remember the limit is 15). For example, a query to find EventID 4625 in two workspaces, would look like this:
workspace('<workspace-A>').SecurityEvent
| union workspace('<workspace-B>').SecurityEvent
| where EventID == '4625'
Remember that you can also leverage KQL functions to create aliases, that make it easier for you to use multiple workspaces. For example, you could create a function named wsAB_SecurityEvent that contains:
workspace('<workspace-A>').SecurityEvent
| union workspace('<workspace-B>').SecurityEvent
After defining this function, you can just use it in your analytics rules like this:
wsAB_SecurityEvent
| where EventID == '4625'
This new feature has special relevance for MSSPs as they normally manage multiple Sentinel environments spread across multiple organizations and tenants.
One of the reasons to use this feature is for example when the MSSP needs to hide the contents of the query from the end customer. In that case, the MSSP can create the query in its own tenant and Sentinel workspace but point at the customer workspace. See more information about protecting MSSPs intellectual property in this blog post.
The recommended approach for this scenario is to create analytics rules that only contain workspaces from a single customer (see diagram below). Mixing customer workspaces into a single analytics rule can lead to confusion and poor manageability.
The analytics rules in this case would contain a KQL query that doesn’t need the union statement, they would be as simple as this:
workspace('customerA_workspace').SecurityEvent
| where EventID == '4625'
We encourage you to leverage this new feature that enhances our cross-workspace capabilities and offers more flexibility in the way you organize your SOC.
Try it out, and let us know what you think!

Azure Stack Hub Partner Solutions Series – Eversource
Thomas Maurer
Together with the Azure Stack Hub team, we are starting a journey to explore the ways our customers and partners use, deploy, manage, and build solutions on the Azure Stack Hub platform. Together with the Tiberiu Radu (Azure Stack Hub PM @rctibi) and myself (Azure Cloud Advocate @ThomasMaurer), we created a new Azure Stack Hub Partner solution video series to show how our customers and partners use Azure Stack Hub in their Hybrid Cloud environment. In this series, as we will meet customers that are deploying Azure Stack Hub for their own internal departments, partners that run managed services on behalf of their customers, and a wide range of in-between as we look at how our various partners are using Azure Stack Hub to bring the power of the cloud on-premises.
How I Built a Resume API w/ JavaScript and Azure Functions [Community]
Lucie Simeckova
Been inspired by the Cloud Resume Challenge by Forest Brazeal to build more stuff in the cloud. I wanted to build something simple to continue my Cloud journey. I decided to build an open-source REST API for my JSON-based standard format resume. I’m using JavaScript and Azure Functions. Also, this would be a great challenge for newbies getting into Azure functions, a hands-on micro project to get started with Azure Functions.

Serverless services are your great ally when dealing with an evolving architecture. Mo will show you how a strategic, tactically motivated evolution journey could look like. To build nothing less and utterly grand such as a baby boy name generator for puzzled parents. We’ll talk about SAAS vs serverless as well, which is a fine but distinct line.
RFM NAV Customer Classification with Python and Azure Functions
Lucie Simeckova
The main goal of this article is to show you how you could modernize your old fashion NAV on-premises ERP, giving some of the Cloud power out there, using the Serverless Azure Functions Architecture. We will create an Azure Function that would act as an API Rest endpoint to classify customer based on their RFM score so we can integrate this information into the customer e-commerce. We will use SQL to add the RFM classification login and Python to create the Azure Function.

Handle Cosmos Cassandra API Rate Limiting for Go apps
Abhishek Gupta
Azure Cosmos DB is a resource governed system that allows you to execute a certain number of operations per second based on the provisioned throughput you have configured. If clients exceed that limit and consume more request units than what was provisioned, it leads to rate limiting of subsequent requests and exceptions being thrown – they are also referred to as 429 errors.

In about a week from today Microsoft Ignite 2020 gets underway. It’s quite a bit different this year but the one thing you can be certain of is we have lots of new and interesting content for you to enjoy.
If you haven’t registered yet, go do it now! It’s free to attend this year, and packed full of digital experiences for you to enjoy.
This post is to highlight the Exchange, Outlook and Bookings sessions we have created and curated for your viewing pleasure. The links won’t be live until the event starts, but we wanted to give you a peek into what to expect.
To be honest we have seen this shift to digital as an opportunity to give you more sessions about the things you want to hear about. With less constraints like rooms and speakers and space to worry about we decided to create content this year you wouldn’t normally get to see, and we really hope you enjoy it!
Here’s a list of all the material we have available, with links that will go live when the event starts on September 22nd 2020 at 8am PST. Enjoy!
This particular set of content is important and we’ll have more on this subject in the coming months, but the high level is this: How can you be sure we look after and protect your email and calendar data from end to end? What are all the things we do to make sure that your data is protected and privacy ensured from the device in your hand or on your desk to the bits on a disk in one of our datacenters.
This collection of recordings help explain what we do, how it works, and what it means, and we really hope you find these recordings helpful and informative. You’ll recognize the speakers as experts in their field.
This next set of material is something we probably wouldn’t have been able to do at Ignite this year were it a physical in-person event. Why? Because those kind of events we all fondly remember (remember the food? How can we ever forget the catering…) were always limited in terms of rooms, speakers and sessions. With an all-digital event, we can do whatever we want! Well, sort of. But in this case, we did exactly what we wanted to do – give you high quality content from the people that know it inside out.
The people presenting these sessions all work in Microsoft’s support or field organizations. Unlike our engineering and marketing teams they work with real customers day after day, helping solve issues and problems, helping customers get our software deployed and so on.
Engineering teams know how they designed something to work. Marketing knows what engineering told them about how it should work. The presenters of these sessions know how it actually works.
So, for some real world, hard-earned advice about migration from on-prem to the cloud, take a look at these recordings. You can consume them in any order, pick and choose what you want to see, or sit back and watch them as a collective playlist.
We hope you agree, that’s a lot of content. We know, as we spent a lot of time making it the last month or two and we really hope you enjoy and learn from it.
We always love to hear your feedback, but unlike physical events you can’t just come down to the booth after a session and talk to the speaker or the team. The best place to leave feedback or ask question will be in the Tech Community, so please interact there with us, or leave comments here on the blog.
Speaking of Tech Community, we’ve arranged a post-event Ask Me Anything session so you can ask us questions! The AMA will take place on October 8th from 9:00 – 10:00am PST in the Exchange AMA space in the Exchange Community. We’ll remind you all nearer the time, but if you want to pop that into the old calendar now, that would be splendid.

Director of Product Marketing – Exchange Server and Online
