Select the tab for your preferred language.

Connect to your cluster

The Kusto Data library provides a Kusto client object to help you connect to your cluster. This object accepts a Kusto connection string builder object as input, which is used to define the cluster URI and authentication mode. For an example, see Create your first Kusto client app.

Run queries and commands

The Kusto Data library can be used to run Kusto Query Language (KQL) queries or T-SQL queries from your own client application. For an example, see Create an app to run basic queries.

You can also run management commands. These commands are requests made to the service to retrieve or modify information that may not necessarily reside within the database tables, such as policies or security roles. For an example, see Create an app to run management commands.
