Hello!

I am thinking of usage Azure Data Explorer API as an audit log for customers.
So, our services can write important events to Kusto and then customers can use UI to retrieve and filter operations made, statuses and other important info.

Is Azure Data Explorer API good fit for that?
For instance, in terms of latency of queries or other technical challenges?

    Hello @Yuri Legachev ,

    Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

    I would say it's perfect fit for the data that you want to log and read later, there is latency but for these types of logs it's not critical. I can't think of anything that would be problematic though for this specific use case.

    Hope this will help. Please let us know if any further queries.
