Use example queries
In this article, you learn how to use example KQL queries to get an initial look at your data.
A query is a read-only request to process data and return results. The request is stated in plain text, using a data-flow model that is easy to read, author, and automate. Queries always run in the context of a particular table or database. At a minimum, a query consists of a source data reference and one or more query operators applied in sequence, indicated visually by the use of a pipe character (|) to delimit operators.
