Send Test and Customer Data to Log Analytics Workspace

Overview

This tool provides two functionalities for sending log data to an Azure Log Analytics Workspace:

  • Send Test Data to Log Analytics Workspace
  • Send Customer Data to Log Analytics Workspace

Send Test Data to Log Analytics Workspace

This feature sends 10 sample log entries to a Log Analytics Workspace. Each log entry includes a customizable message and a severity level (Information, Warning, or Error). It is ideal for testing and exploring the Log Analytics Workspace functionality.

Send Customer Data to Log Analytics Workspace

This feature generates and sends 100 entries related to customer events, such as e-commerce transactions, to a Log Analytics Workspace. The dataset simulates realistic customer interactions, including purchase data, customer names, and transaction statuses. It is particularly useful for learning and practicing Kusto Query Language (KQL) by providing realistic, structured training data.

Purpose

These tools help you:

  • Test the integration by sending sample log data.
  • Ensure logs are captured and ingested correctly in the workspace.
  • Provide realistic training data for learning KQL, enabling structured queries against test and sample data.

Technical Summary

Tool 1: Send Test Data

  • Sends 10 customizable log entries.
  • Each entry uses a unique severity level for testing purposes.
  • Ideal for validating initial workspace configurations.

Tool 2: Send Customer Data

  • Sends 100 log entries simulating customer events, such as purchases.
  • Data includes fields like customer names, purchased products, quantities, and transaction statuses.
  • Allows for advanced KQL (Kusto Query Language) exploration and testing.

Both tools use the HTTP Data Collector API to send data to Log Analytics Workspace.
