Get operation correlation ID from Activity Log for Microsoft Discovery

Use the Azure Activity Log to find a correlation ID for a Microsoft Discovery control-plane operation.

Summary

The Azure Resource Manager Activity Log records resource modifications. Events that share a correlation ID belong to the same broader action. This guide shows you how to retrieve that ID for troubleshooting or a support request. For field definitions, see Activity Log schema.

Don't assume that an Activity Log correlationId is interchangeable with an application API response-header ID or a CorrelationId in Discovery application logs. For application request tracing, see Query workspace logs.

Prerequisites

  • Reader access (or equivalent activity-log read permission) on the resource group in the Azure portal.

Get operation correlation ID

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal.

  2. Go to the resource group in the Azure portal. Select Activity log from the left menu.

  3. On Activity log, apply filters to narrow down the results. For example, filter by operation type, resource type, or date/time range to show activities for a specific resource. By default, the Activity Log shows all activities for the resource group. Select the timespan as appropriate.
