Azure Data Explorer output bindings for Azure Functions (preview)

When a function runs, the Azure Data Explorer output binding ingests data to Azure Data Explorer.

For information on setup and configuration details, see the overview.

Examples

A C# function can be created by using one of the following C# modes:

• Isolated worker model: Compiled C# function that runs in a worker process that's isolated from the runtime. Isolated worker process is required to support C# functions running on LTS and non-LTS versions .NET and the .NET Framework.
• In-process model: Compiled C# function that runs in the same process as the Functions runtime.
• C# script: Used primarily when you create C# functions in the Azure portal.

Important

Support will end for the in-process model on November 10, 2026. We highly recommend that you migrate your apps to the isolated worker model for full support.

Isolated worker model

More samples for the Azure Data Explorer output binding are available in the GitHub repository.

This section contains the following examples:

• HTTP trigger, write one record
• HTTP trigger, write records with mapping

The examples refer to Product class and a corresponding database table:

public class Product
{
    [JsonProperty(nameof(ProductID))]
    public long ProductID { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty(nameof(Name))]
    public string Name { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty(nameof(Cost))]
    public double Cost { get; set; }
}

.create-merge table Products (ProductID:long, Name:string, Cost:double)

HTTP trigger, write one record

The following example shows a C# function that adds a record to a database. The function uses data provided in an HTTP POST request as a JSON body.

using Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker;
using Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker.Extensions.Kusto;
using Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker.Http;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Kusto.SamplesOutOfProc.OutputBindingSamples.Common;

namespace Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Kusto.SamplesOutOfProc.OutputBindingSamples
{
    public static class AddProduct
    {
        [Function("AddProduct")]
        [KustoOutput(Database: "productsdb", Connection = "KustoConnectionString", TableName = "Products")]
        public static async Task<Product> Run(
            [HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Anonymous, "post", Route = "addproductuni")]
            HttpRequestData req)
        {
            Product? prod = await req.ReadFromJsonAsync<Product>();
            return prod ?? new Product { };
        }
    }
}

HTTP trigger, write records with mapping

The following example shows a C# function that adds a collection of records to a database. The function uses mapping that transforms a Product to Item.

To transform data from Product to Item, the function uses a mapping reference:

.create-merge table Item (ItemID:long, ItemName:string, ItemCost:float)


-- Create a mapping that transforms an Item to a Product

.create-or-alter table Product ingestion json mapping "item_to_product_json" '[{"column":"ProductID","path":"$.ItemID"},{"column":"Name","path":"$.ItemName"},{"column":"Cost","path":"$.ItemCost"}]'

namespace Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Kusto.SamplesOutOfProc.OutputBindingSamples.Common
{
    public class Item
    {
        public long ItemID { get; set; }

        public string? ItemName { get; set; }

        public double ItemCost { get; set; }
    }
}

using Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker;
using Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker.Extensions.Kusto;
using Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker.Http;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Kusto.SamplesOutOfProc.OutputBindingSamples.Common;

namespace Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Kusto.SamplesOutOfProc.OutputBindingSamples
{
    public static class AddProductsWithMapping
    {
        [Function("AddProductsWithMapping")]
        [KustoOutput(Database: "productsdb", Connection = "KustoConnectionString", TableName = "Products", MappingRef = "item_to_product_json")]
        public static async Task<Item> Run(
            [HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Anonymous, "post", Route = "addproductswithmapping")]
            HttpRequestData req)
        {
            Item? item = await req.ReadFromJsonAsync<Item>();
            return item ?? new Item { };
        }
    }
}

In-process model

More samples for the Azure Data Explorer output binding are available in the GitHub repository.

This section contains the following examples:

• HTTP trigger, write one record
• HTTP trigger, write to two tables
• HTTP trigger, write records using IAsyncCollector

The examples refer to Product class and a corresponding database table:

public class Product
{
    [JsonProperty(nameof(ProductID))]
    public long ProductID { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty(nameof(Name))]
    public string Name { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty(nameof(Cost))]
    public double Cost { get; set; }
}

.create-merge table Products (ProductID:long, Name:string, Cost:double)

HTTP trigger, write one record

The following example shows a C# function that adds a record to a database. The function uses data provided in an HTTP POST request as a JSON body.

{
    public static class AddProduct
    {
        [FunctionName("AddProductUni")]
        public static IActionResult Run(
            [HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Anonymous, "post", Route = "addproductuni")]
            HttpRequest req, ILogger log,
            [Kusto(Database:"productsdb" ,
            TableName ="Products" ,
            Connection = "KustoConnectionString")] out Product product)
        {
            log.LogInformation($"AddProduct function started");
            string body = new StreamReader(req.Body).ReadToEnd();
            product = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Product>(body);
            return new CreatedResult($"/api/addproductuni", product);
        }
    }
}

HTTP trigger, write to two tables

The following example shows a C# function that adds records to a database in two different tables (Products and ProductsChangeLog). The function uses data provided in an HTTP POST request as a JSON body and multiple output bindings.

.create-merge table ProductsChangeLog (ProductID:long, CreatedAt:datetime)

            HttpRequest req, ILogger log,
            [Kusto(Database:"productsdb" ,
            TableName ="Products" ,
            Connection = "KustoConnectionString")] IAsyncCollector<Product> productsCollector,
                        [Kusto(Database:"productsdb" ,
            TableName =S"ProductsChangeLog" ,
            Connection = "KustoConnectionString")] IAsyncCollector<ProductsChangeLog> changeCollector)
        {
            log.LogInformation($"AddProducts function started");
            string body = new StreamReader(req.Body).ReadToEnd();
            Product[] products = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Product[]>(body);
            products.ForEach(p =>
            {
                productsCollector.AddAsync(p);
                changeCollector.AddAsync(new ProductsChangeLog { CreatedAt = DateTime.UtcNow, ProductID = p.ProductID });
            });
            productsCollector.FlushAsync();
            changeCollector.FlushAsync();
            return products != null ? new ObjectResult(products) { StatusCode = StatusCodes.Status201Created } : new BadRequestObjectResult("Please pass a well formed JSON Product array in the body");
        }
    }
}

HTTP trigger, write records using IAsyncCollector

The following example shows a C# function that ingests a set of records to a table. The function uses data provided in an HTTP POST body JSON array.

using System.IO;

            Connection = "KustoConnectionString")] IAsyncCollector<Product> collector)
        {
            log.LogInformation($"AddProductsAsyncCollector function started");
            string body = new StreamReader(req.Body).ReadToEnd();
            Product[] products = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Product[]>(body);
            products.ForEach(p =>
            {
                collector.AddAsync(p);
            });
            collector.FlushAsync();
            return products != null ? new ObjectResult(products) { StatusCode = StatusCodes.Status201Created } : new BadRequestObjectResult("Please pass a well formed JSON Product array in the body");
        }
    }
}

More samples for the Java Azure Data Explorer input binding are available in the GitHub repository.

This section contains the following examples:

• HTTP trigger, write a record to a table
• HTTP trigger, write to two tables

The examples refer to a Products class (in a separate file Product.java) and a corresponding database table Products (defined earlier):

package com.microsoft.azure.kusto.common;

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;

public class Product {
    @JsonProperty("ProductID")
    public long ProductID;
    @JsonProperty("Name")
    public String Name;
    @JsonProperty("Cost")
    public double Cost;

    public Product() {
    }

    public Product(long ProductID, String name, double Cost) {
        this.ProductID = ProductID;
        this.Name = name;
        this.Cost = Cost;
    }
}

HTTP trigger, write a record to a table

The following example shows an Azure Data Explorer output binding in a Java function that adds a product record to a table. The function uses data provided in an HTTP POST request as a JSON body. The function takes another dependency on the com.fasterxml.jackson.core library to parse the JSON body.

Attributes

The C# library uses the KustoAttribute attribute to declare the Azure Data Explorer bindings on the function, which has the following properties.

Attribute property	Description
Database	Required. The database against which the query must be executed.
Connection	Required. The name of the variable that holds the connection string, which is resolved through environment variables or through function app settings. Defaults to look up on the variable KustoConnectionString. At runtime, this variable is looked up against the environment. Documentation on the connection string is at Kusto connection strings. For example: "KustoConnectionString": "Data Source=https://your_cluster.kusto.windows.net;Database=your_Database;Fed=True;AppClientId=your_AppId;AppKey=your_AppKey;Authority Id=your_TenantId.
TableName	Required. The table to ingest the data into.
MappingRef	Optional. Attribute to pass a mapping ref that's already defined in the cluster.
ManagedServiceIdentity	Optional. A managed identity can be used to connect to Azure Data Explorer. To use a system managed identity, use "system." Any other identity names are interpreted as a user managed identity.
DataFormat	Optional. The default data format is multijson/json. It can be set to text formats supported in the datasource format enumeration. Samples are validated and provided for CSV and JSON formats.

Annotations

The Java functions runtime library uses the @KustoInput annotation (com.microsoft.azure.functions.kusto.annotation.KustoOutput).

Element	Description
name	Required. The name of the variable that represents the query results in function code.
database	Required. The database against which the query must be executed.
connection	Required. The name of the variable that holds the connection string, which is resolved through environment variables or through function app settings. Defaults to look up on the variable KustoConnectionString. At runtime, this variable is looked up against the environment. Documentation on the connection string is at Kusto connection strings. For example: "KustoConnectionString": "Data Source=https://your_cluster.kusto.windows.net;Database=your_Database;Fed=True;AppClientId=your_AppId;AppKey=your_AppKey;Authority Id=your_TenantId.
tableName	Required. The table to ingest the data into.
mappingRef	Optional. Attribute to pass a mapping ref that's already defined in the cluster.
dataFormat	Optional. The default data format is multijson/json. It can be set to text formats supported in the datasource format enumeration. Samples are validated and provided for CSV and JSON formats.
managedServiceIdentity	A managed identity can be used to connect to Azure Data Explorer. To use a system managed identity, use "system." Any other identity names are interpreted as a user managed identity.

Configuration

The following table explains the binding configuration properties that you set in the function.json file.

function.json property	Description
type	Required. Must be set to kusto.
direction	Required. Must be set to out.
name	Required. The name of the variable that represents the query results in function code.
database	Required. The database against which the query must be executed.
connection	Required. The name of the variable that holds the connection string, resolved through environment variables or through function app settings. Defaults to look up on the variable KustoConnectionString. At runtime, this variable is looked up against the environment. Documentation on the connection string is at Kusto connection strings. For example: "KustoConnectionString": "Data Source=https://your_cluster.kusto.windows.net;Database=your_Database;Fed=True;AppClientId=your_AppId;AppKey=your_AppKey;Authority Id=your_TenantId.
tableName	Required. The table to ingest the data into.
mappingRef	Optional. Attribute to pass a mapping ref that's already defined in the cluster.
dataFormat	Optional. The default data format is multijson/json. It can be set to text formats supported in the datasource format enumeration. Samples are validated and provided for CSV and JSON formats.
managedServiceIdentity	A managed identity can be used to connect to Azure Data Explorer. To use a system managed identity, use "system." Any other identity names are interpreted as a user managed identity.

When you're developing locally, add your application settings in the local.settings.json file in the Values collection.

Usage

The attribute's constructor takes the database and the attributes TableName, MappingRef, and DataFormat and the connection setting name. The KQL command can be a KQL statement or a KQL function. The connection string setting name corresponds to the application setting (in local.settings.json for local development) that contains the Kusto connection strings. For example:"KustoConnectionString": "Data Source=https://your_cluster.kusto.windows.net;Database=your_Database;Fed=True;AppClientId=your_AppId;AppKey=your_AppKey;Authority Id=your_TenantId. Queries executed by the input binding are parameterized. The values provided in the KQL parameters are used at runtime.
