Do I need all the tables and queries defined in my LAW ARM template?

I've exported a Log Analytics Workspace to an ARM template and it looks like it's exported all the default tables and queries. There's 499 instances of 'Microsoft.OperationalInsights/workspaces/tables' for example. Do I need all these cluttering up my ARM template, or will I get them for when I deploy a new LAW?

    Hi, Short answer is yes and no. It all depends on what you want to manage and what you do not want to manage. So, you have to decide which of those tables you want to manage. For example, pick a table and decide, do I need to manage the retention period of that table or not. Do I need to manage any custom fields/columns on that table or not? That will help you decide.
