Introduction
A Log Analytics workspace is a data store into which you can collect any type of log data from all of your Azure and non-Azure resources and applications. We recommend that you send all log data to one Log Analytics workspace, unless you have specific business needs that require you to create multiple workspaces, as described in Design a Log Analytics workspace architecture.
Scenario
Imagine you are an Azure Security Engineer using a Log Analytics workspace to collect data from Azure and non-Azure resources, enabling centralized monitoring, custom alerts, and advanced threat detection to enhance security and compliance across a hybrid cloud environment.
