Create an app to run management commands
במאמר זה
Applies to: ✅ Microsoft Fabric ✅ Azure Data Explorer
In this article, you learn how to:
Prerequisites
Set up your development environment to use the Kusto client library.
Run a management command and process the results
In your preferred IDE or text editor, create a project or file named management commands using the convention appropriate for your preferred language. Then add the following code:
Create a client app that connects your cluster. Replace the <your_cluster_uri>
placeholder with your cluster name.
Note
For management commands, you'll use the CreateCslAdminProvider
client factory method.
using Kusto.Data;
using Kusto.Data.Net.Client;
namespace ManagementCommands {
class ManagementCommands {
static void Main(string[] args) {
var clusterUri = "<your_cluster_uri>";
var kcsb = new KustoConnectionStringBuilder(clusterUri)
.WithAadUserPromptAuthentication();
using (var kustoClient = KustoClientFactory.CreateCslAdminProvider(kcsb)) {
}
}
}
}
from azure.kusto.data import KustoClient, KustoConnectionStringBuilder
def main():
cluster_uri = "<your_cluster_uri>"
kcsb = KustoConnectionStringBuilder.with_interactive_login(cluster_uri)
with KustoClient(kcsb) as kusto_client:
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
import { Client as KustoClient, KustoConnectionStringBuilder } from "azure-kusto-data/";
import { InteractiveBrowserCredentialInBrowserOptions } from "@azure/identity";
async function main() {
const clusterUri = "<your_cluster_uri>";
const authOptions = {
clientId: "5e39af3b-ba50-4255-b547-81abfb507c58",
redirectUri: "http://localhost:5173",
} as InteractiveBrowserCredentialInBrowserOptions;
const kcsb = KustoConnectionStringBuilder.withUserPrompt(clusterUri, authOptions);
const kustoClient = new KustoClient(kcsb);
}
main();
Note
For Node.js apps, use InteractiveBrowserCredentialNodeOptions
instead of InteractiveBrowserCredentialInBrowserOptions
.
import com.microsoft.azure.kusto.data.Client;
import com.microsoft.azure.kusto.data.ClientFactory;
import com.microsoft.azure.kusto.data.KustoOperationResult;
import com.microsoft.azure.kusto.data.KustoResultSetTable;
import com.microsoft.azure.kusto.data.KustoResultColumn;
import com.microsoft.azure.kusto.data.auth.ConnectionStringBuilder;
public class ManagementCommands {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
try {
String clusterUri = "<your_cluster_uri>";
ConnectionStringBuilder kcsb = ConnectionStringBuilder.createWithUserPrompt(clusterUri);
try (Client kustoClient = ClientFactory.createClient(kcsb)) {
}
}
}
}
Define a function that prints the command being run and its resultant tables. This function unpacks the column names in the result tables and prints each name-value pair on a new line.
static void PrintResultsAsValueList(string command, IDataReader response) {
while (response.Read()) {
Console.WriteLine("\n{0}\n", new String('-', 20));
Console.WriteLine("Command: {0}", command);
Console.WriteLine("Result:");
for (int i = 0; i < response.FieldCount; i++) {
Console.WriteLine("\t{0} - {1}", response.GetName(i), response.IsDBNull(i) ? "None" : response.GetString(i));
}
}
}
def print_result_as_value_list(command, response):
# create a list of columns
cols = (col.column_name for col in response.primary_results[0].columns)
print("\n" + "-" * 20 + "\n")
print("Command: " + command)
# print the values for each row
for row in response.primary_results[0]:
print("Result:")
for col in cols:
print("\t", col, "-", row[col])
function printResultsAsValueList(command: string, response: KustoResponseDataSet) {
// create a list of columns
const cols = response.primaryResults[0].columns;
console.log("\n" + "-".repeat(20) + "\n")
console.log("Command: " + command)
// print the values for each row
for (const row of response.primaryResults[0].rows()) {
console.log("Result:")
for (col of cols)
console.log("\t", col.name, "-", row.getValueAt(col.ordinal) ? row.getValueAt(col.ordinal).toString() : "None")
}
}
public static void printResultsAsValueList(String command, KustoResultSetTable results) {
while (results.next()) {
System.out.println("\n" + "-".repeat(20) + "\n");
System.out.println("Command: " + command);
System.out.println("Result:");
KustoResultColumn[] columns = results.getColumns();
for (int i = 0; i < columns.length; i++) {
System.out.println("\t" + columns[i].getColumnName() + " - " + (results.getObject(i) == null ? "None" : results.getString(i)));
}
}
}
Define the command to run. The command creates a table called MyStormEvents and defines the table schema as a list of column names and types. Replace the <your_database>
placeholder with your database name.
string database = "<your_database>";
string table = "MyStormEvents";
// Create a table named MyStormEvents
// The brackets contain a list of column Name:Type pairs that defines the table schema
string command = @$".create table {table}
(StartTime:datetime,
EndTime:datetime,
State:string,
DamageProperty:int,
DamageCrops:int,
Source:string,
StormSummary:dynamic)";
database = "<your_database>"
table = "MyStormEvents"
# Create a table named MyStormEvents
# The brackets contain a list of column Name:Type pairs that defines the table schema
command = ".create table " + table + " " \
"(StartTime:datetime," \
" EndTime:datetime," \
" State:string," \
" DamageProperty:int," \
" DamageCrops:int," \
" Source:string," \
" StormSummary:dynamic)"
const database = "<your_database>";
const table = "MyStormEvents";
// Create a table named MyStormEvents
// The brackets contain a list of column Name:Type pairs that defines the table schema
const command = `.create table ${table}
(StartTime:datetime,
EndTime:datetime,
State:string,
DamageProperty:int,
Source:string,
StormSummary:dynamic)`;
String database = "<your_database>";
String table = "MyStormEvents";
// Create a table named MyStormEvents
// The brackets contain a list of column Name:Type pairs that defines the table schema
String command = ".create table " + table + " " +
"(StartTime:datetime," +
" EndTime:datetime," +
" State:string," +
" DamageProperty:int," +
" DamageCrops:int," +
" Source:string," +
" StormSummary:dynamic)";
Run the command and print the result using the previously defined function.
Note
You'll use the ExecuteControlCommand
method to run the command.
using (var response = kustoClient.ExecuteControlCommand(database, command, null)) {
PrintResultsAsValueList(command, response);
}
Note
You'll use the execute_mgmt
method to run the command.
response = kusto_client.execute_mgmt(database, command)
print_result_as_value_list(command, response)
Note
You'll use the executeMgmt
method to run the command.
const response = await kustoClient.executeMgmt(database, command);
printResultsAsValueList(command, response)
KustoOperationResult response = kusto_client.execute(database, command);
printResultsAsValueList(command, response.getPrimaryResults());
The complete code should look like this:
using Kusto.Data;
using Kusto.Data.Net.Client;
namespace ManagementCommands {
class ManagementCommands {
static void Main(string[] args) {
string clusterUri = "https://<your_cluster_uri>";
var kcsb = new KustoConnectionStringBuilder(clusterUri)

string database = "<your_database>";
string table = "MyStormEvents";
// Create a table named MyStormEvents
// The brackets contain a list of column Name:Type pairs that defines the table schema
string command = @$".create table {table}
(StartTime:datetime,
EndTime:datetime,

Run your app
In a command shell, use the following command to run your app:
# Change directory to the folder that contains the management commands project
dotnet run .
python management_commands.py
In a Node.js environment:
node management-commands.js
In a browser environment, use the appropriate command to run your app. For example, for Vite-React:
npm run dev
mvn install exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="<groupId>.ManagementCommands"
You should see a result similar to the following:
--------------------
Command: .create table MyStormEvents
(StartTime:datetime,
EndTime:datetime,
State:string,
DamageProperty:int,
Source:string,
StormSummary:dynamic)
Result:
TableName - MyStormEvents
Schema - {"Name":"MyStormEvents","OrderedColumns":[{"Name":"StartTime","Type":"System.DateTime","CslType":"datetime"},{"Name":"EndTime","Type":"System.DateTime","CslType":"datetime"},{"Name":"State","Type":"System.String","CslType":"string"},{"Name":"DamageProperty","Type":"System.Int32","CslType":"int"},{"Name":"Source","Type":"System.String","CslType":"string"},{"Name":"StormSummary","Type":"System.Object","CslType":"dynamic"}]}
DatabaseName - MyDatabaseName
Folder - None
DocString - None
Change the table level ingestion batching policy
You can customize the ingestion batching behavior for tables by changing the corresponding table policy. For more information, see IngestionBatching policy .
Note
If you don't specify all parameters of a PolicyObject , the unspecified parameters will be set to default values . For example, specifying only "MaximumBatchingTimeSpan" will result in "MaximumNumberOfItems" and "MaximumRawDataSizeMB" being set to default.
For example, you can modify the app to change the ingestion batching policy timeout value to 30 seconds by altering the ingestionBatching
policy for the MyStormEvents
table using the following command:
// Reduce the default batching timeout to 30 seconds
command = @$".alter-merge table {table} policy ingestionbatching '{{ ""MaximumBatchingTimeSpan"":""00:00:30"" }}'";
using (var response = kustoClient.ExecuteControlCommand(database, command, null))
{
PrintResultsAsValueList(command, response);
}
# Reduce the default batching timeout to 30 seconds
command = ".alter-merge table " + table + " policy ingestionbatching '{ \"MaximumBatchingTimeSpan\":\"00:00:30\" }'"
response = kusto_client.execute_mgmt(database, command)
print_result_as_value_list(command, response)
// Reduce the default batching timeout to 30 seconds
command = ".alter-merge table " + table + " policy ingestionbatching '{ \"MaximumBatchingTimeSpan\":\"00:00:30\" }'"
response = await kustoClient.executeMgmt(database, command)
printResultsAsValueList(command, response)
// Reduce the default batching timeout to 30 seconds
command = ".alter-merge table " + table + " policy ingestionbatching '{ \"MaximumBatchingTimeSpan\":\"00:00:30\" }'";
response = kusto_client.execute(database, command);
printResultsAsValueList(command, response.getPrimaryResults());
When you add the code to your app and run it, you should see a result similar to the following:
--------------------
Command: .alter-merge table MyStormEvents policy ingestionbatching '{ "MaximumBatchingTimeSpan":"00:00:30" }'
Result:
PolicyName - IngestionBatchingPolicy
EntityName - [YourDatabase].[MyStormEvents]
Policy - {
"MaximumBatchingTimeSpan": "00:00:30",
"MaximumNumberOfItems": 500,
"MaximumRawDataSizeMB": 1024
}
ChildEntities - None
EntityType - Table
Show the database level retention policy
You can use management commands to display a database's retention policy .
For example, you can modify the app to display your database's retention policy using the following code. The result is curated to project away two columns from the result:
// Show the database retention policy (drop some columns from the result)
command = @$".show database {database} policy retention | project-away ChildEntities, EntityType";
using (var response = kustoClient.ExecuteControlCommand(database, command, null)) {
PrintResultsAsValueList(command, response);
}
# Show the database retention policy (drop some columns from the result)
command = ".show database " + database + " policy retention | project-away ChildEntities, EntityType"
response = kusto_client.execute_mgmt(database, command)
print_result_as_value_list(command, response)
// Show the database retention policy (drop some columns from the result)
command = ".show database " + database + " policy retention | project-away ChildEntities, EntityType"
response = await kustoClient.executeMgmt(database, command)
printResultsAsValueList(command, response)
// Show the database retention policy (drop some columns from the result)
command = ".show database " + database + " policy retention | project-away ChildEntities, EntityType";
response = kusto_client.execute(database, command);
printResultsAsValueList(command, response.getPrimaryResults());
When you add the code to your app and run it, you should see a result similar to the following:
--------------------
Command: .show database YourDatabase policy retention | project-away ChildEntities, EntityType
Result:
PolicyName - RetentionPolicy
EntityName - [YourDatabase]
Policy - {
"SoftDeletePeriod": "365.00:00:00",
"Recoverability": "Enabled"
}
