Azure Monitor Ingestion client library for .NET - version 1.1.2

The Azure Monitor Ingestion client library is used to send custom logs to Azure Monitor.

This library allows you to send data from virtually any source to supported built-in tables or to custom tables that you create in Log Analytics workspace. You can even extend the schema of built-in tables with custom columns.

Resources:

Getting started

Prerequisites

Install the package

Install the Azure Monitor Ingestion client library for .NET with NuGet:

dotnet add package Azure.Monitor.Ingestion

Authenticate the client

An authenticated client is required to ingest data. To authenticate, create an instance of a TokenCredential class. Pass it to the constructor of the LogsIngestionClient class.

To authenticate, the following example uses DefaultAzureCredential from the Azure.Identity package:

var endpoint = new Uri("<data_collection_endpoint_uri>");
var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
var client = new LogsIngestionClient(endpoint, credential);

Configure client for Azure sovereign cloud

By default, LogsIngestionClient is configured to connect to the Azure public cloud. To connect to a sovereign cloud instead, set the LogsIngestionClientOptions.Audience property. For example:

var endpoint = new Uri("<data_collection_endpoint_uri>");
var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
var clientOptions = new LogsIngestionClientOptions
{
    Audience = LogsIngestionAudience.AzureChina
};
var client = new LogsIngestionClient(endpoint, credential, clientOptions);

Upload the logs

For examples of logs ingestion, see the Examples section.

Key concepts

Data collection endpoint

Data collection endpoints (DCEs) allow you to uniquely configure ingestion settings for Azure Monitor. This article provides an overview of DCEs, including their contents, structure, and how you can create and work with them.

Data collection rule

Data collection rules (DCRs) define data collected by Azure Monitor and specify how and where that data should be sent or stored. The REST API call must specify a DCR to use. A single DCE can support multiple DCRs, so you can specify a different DCR for different sources and target tables.

The DCR must understand the structure of the input data and the structure of the target table. If the two don't match, it can use a transformation to convert the source data to match the target table. You may also use the transform to filter source data and perform any other calculations or conversions.

For more information, see Data collection rules in Azure Monitor.

Log Analytics workspace tables

Custom logs can send data to any custom table that you create and to certain built-in tables in your Log Analytics workspace. The target table must exist before you can send data to it. The following built-in tables are currently supported:

Thread safety

We guarantee that all client instance methods are thread-safe and independent of each other (guideline). This design ensures that the recommendation of reusing client instances is always safe, even across threads.

Additional concepts

Client options | Accessing the response | Long-running operations | Handling failures | Diagnostics | Mocking | Client lifetime

Examples

You can familiarize yourself with different APIs using samples.

Register the client with dependency injection

To register LogsIngestionClient with the dependency injection (DI) container, invoke the AddLogsIngestionClient method. For more information, see Register client.

Upload custom logs

You can upload logs using either the LogsIngestionClient.Upload or the LogsIngestionClient.UploadAsync method. Note the data ingestion limits. This method has an optional parameter: string contentEncoding. This refers to the encoding of the RequestContent that is being passed in. If you're passing in content that is already manipulated, set the contentEncoding parameter. For example if your content is gzipped, set contentEncoding to be "gzip". If this parameter isn't set, the default behavior is to gzip all input.

var endpoint = new Uri("<data_collection_endpoint>");
var ruleId = "<data_collection_rule_id>";
var streamName = "<stream_name>";

var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
LogsIngestionClient client = new(endpoint, credential);
DateTimeOffset currentTime = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow;

// Use BinaryData to serialize instances of an anonymous type into JSON
BinaryData data = BinaryData.FromObjectAsJson(
    new[] {
        new
        {
            Time = currentTime,
            Computer = "Computer1",
            AdditionalContext = new
            {
                InstanceName = "user1",
                TimeZone = "Pacific Time",
                Level = 4,
                CounterName = "AppMetric1",
                CounterValue = 15.3
            }
        },
        new
        {
            Time = currentTime,
            Computer = "Computer2",
            AdditionalContext = new
            {
                InstanceName = "user2",
                TimeZone = "Central Time",
                Level = 3,
                CounterName = "AppMetric1",
                CounterValue = 23.5
            }
        },
    });

// Upload our logs
Response response = await client.UploadAsync(
    ruleId,
    streamName,
    RequestContent.Create(data)).ConfigureAwait(false);

Upload custom logs as IEnumerable

You can also upload logs using either the LogsIngestionClient.Upload or the LogsIngestionClient.UploadAsync method in which logs are passed in a generic IEnumerable type along with an optional LogsUploadOptions parameter. The LogsUploadOptions parameter includes a serializer, concurrency, and an EventHandler.

var endpoint = new Uri("<data_collection_endpoint_uri>");
var ruleId = "<data_collection_rule_id>";
var streamName = "<stream_name>";

var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
LogsIngestionClient client = new(endpoint, credential);

DateTimeOffset currentTime = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow;

var entries = new List<Object>();
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
    entries.Add(
        new {
            Time = currentTime,
            Computer = "Computer" + i.ToString(),
            AdditionalContext = i
        }
    );
}

// Upload our logs
Response response = await client.UploadAsync(ruleId, streamName, entries).ConfigureAwait(false);

Upload custom logs as IEnumerable with EventHandler

You can upload logs using either the LogsIngestionClient.Upload or the LogsIngestionClient.UploadAsync method. In these two methods, logs are passed in a generic IEnumerable type. Additionally, there's an LogsUploadOptions-typed parameter in which a serializer, concurrency, and EventHandler can be set. The default serializer is set to System.Text.Json, but you can pass in the serializer you would like used. The MaxConcurrency property sets the number of threads that will be used in the UploadAsync method. The default value is 5, and this parameter is unused in the Upload method. The EventHandler is used for error handling. It gives the user the option to abort the upload if a batch fails and access the failed logs and corresponding exception. Without the EventHandler, if an upload fails, an AggregateException will be thrown.

var endpoint = new Uri("<data_collection_endpoint_uri>");
var ruleId = "<data_collection_rule_id>";
var streamName = "<stream_name>";

var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
LogsIngestionClient client = new(endpoint, credential);

DateTimeOffset currentTime = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow;

var entries = new List<Object>();
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
    entries.Add(
        new {
            Time = currentTime,
            Computer = "Computer" + i.ToString(),
            AdditionalContext = i
        }
    );
}
// Set concurrency and EventHandler in LogsUploadOptions
LogsUploadOptions options = new LogsUploadOptions();
options.MaxConcurrency = 10;
options.UploadFailed += Options_UploadFailed;

// Upload our logs
Response response = await client.UploadAsync(ruleId, streamName, entries, options).ConfigureAwait(false);

Task Options_UploadFailed(LogsUploadFailedEventArgs e)
{
    // Throw exception from EventHandler to stop Upload if there is a failure
    IReadOnlyList<object> failedLogs = e.FailedLogs;
    // 413 status is RequestTooLarge - don't throw here because other batches can successfully upload
    if ((e.Exception is RequestFailedException) && (((RequestFailedException)e.Exception).Status != 413))
        throw e.Exception;
    else
        return Task.CompletedTask;
}

Verify logs

You can verify that your data has been uploaded correctly by using the Azure Monitor Query library. Run the Upload custom logs sample first before verifying the logs.

var workspaceId = "<log_analytics_workspace_id>";
var tableName = "<table_name>";

var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
LogsQueryClient logsQueryClient = new(credential);

LogsBatchQuery batch = new();
string query = tableName + " | Count;";
string countQueryId = batch.AddWorkspaceQuery(
    workspaceId,
    query,
    new QueryTimeRange(TimeSpan.FromDays(1)));

Response<LogsBatchQueryResultCollection> queryResponse =
    await logsQueryClient.QueryBatchAsync(batch).ConfigureAwait(false);

Console.WriteLine("Table entry count: " +
    queryResponse.Value.GetResult<int>(countQueryId).Single());
