Create Log Analytics Workspace in Azure
Log
Analytics is an Azure service which collects and stores information/data from a
set of different sources. Log analytics workspace is a place where we can store
Azure Monitor log data These data are organized into tables created
automatically. I’ll be showing that in this article how does it look like. Just
for the sake of understanding I’ll be using term LA for Log analytics .
LA allows
you to monitor, analyze, visualize and create alerts for that data.

Sign in to Azure portal
Sign in to
the Azure portal at https://portal.azure.com.
Create a log analytics workspace
In the Azure portal, click All services. In the list of resources, type Log Analytics. As you begin typing, the list filters based on your input. Select Log Analytics workspaces.
Click Add, and then select choices
for the following items:
1. Provide a name for the new Log Analytics workspace, such as dotnetpiperLAWorkspace. This name must be globally unique across all Azure Monitor subscriptions.
2. Select a Subscription to link
to by selecting from the drop-down list if the default selected is not
appropriate.
3. For Resource Group, choose to use an
existing resource group already setup or create a new one.
4. Select an available Location.
5. If you are creating a workspace in a new
subscription created after April 2, 2018, it will automatically use the Per
GB pricing plan and the option to select a pricing tier will not be
available. If you are creating a workspace for an existing subscription created
before April 2, or to subscription that was tied to an existing Enterprise
Agreement (EA) enrollment, select your preferred pricing tier. For more
information about the particular tiers, see Log Analytics Pricing Details.
After providing the required information on the Log Analytics
Workspace pane, click OK.
