Applies to: ✅ Microsoft FabricAzure Data ExplorerAzure MonitorMicrosoft Sentinel

Returns a sha256 hash value of the source input.

Syntax

hash_sha256(source)

Parameters

Name Type Required Description
source scalar ✔️ The value to be hashed.

Returns

The sha256 hash value of the given scalar, encoded as a hex string (a string of characters, each two of which represent a single Hex number between 0 and 255).

Warning

The algorithm used by this function (SHA256) is guaranteed to not be modified in the future, but is very complex to calculate. Users that need a "lightweight" hash function for the duration of a single query are advised to use the function hash() instead.

Examples

print 
    h1=hash_sha256("World"),
    h2=hash_sha256(datetime(2020-01-01))

Output

h1 h2

The following example uses the hash_sha256() function to aggregate StormEvents based on State's SHA256 hash value.

StormEvents 
| summarize StormCount = count() by State, StateHash=hash_sha256(State)
| top 5 by StormCount desc

Output
