Analyze Query Results Using KQL

By Ashwin Venugopal -

 



Use the Summarize Operator

The count operator can create a new column with the help of its variations and with the calculated result for the specified fields. The By clause, makes the result set in three columns- Process, Computer, Count.
The arg_max() and arg_min() functions can filter out top and bottom rows respectively while the make_functions return a dynamic (JSON) array based on the specific function's purpose.

Use the Render operator to create visualizations

The render operator generates a visualization of the query results. The supported visualizations are:
  • areachart
  • bacchant
  • columnchart
  • piechart
  • scatterchart
  • timechart 

Build Multi-Table Statements Using KQL

Use the Union operator

The union operators take two or more tables and returns the rows of all of them and it is essential to understand how results are passed as well as impacted with the pipe character. 

Use Join operator

The join operator merges the rows of two tables to form a new table by matching the specified columns' values from each table. While joining tables, you can use flavors to determine the joining behavior. The graphic below shows which records will be kept if there is or isn't a matching record in the other dataset. The inner join will only show records from the left side if there is a matching record on the right side which also requires a left side record.

Join Flavor

Output Records

Kind=leftanti, kind=leftantisemi

Returns all the records from the left side that don’t have matches from the right.

Kind=rightant, kind=rightantisemi

Returns all the records from the right side that don’t have matches from the left.

Kind-unspecified, kind=innerunique

Only one row from the left side is matched for each value of the on key. The output contains a row for each match of this row which rows from the right.

Kind=leftsemi

Returns all the records from the left side that have matches from the right.

Kind=rightsemi

Returns all the records from the right side that have matches from the left.

Kind=inner

Contains a row in the output for every combination of matching rows from left and right.

Kind=leftouter (or kind=rightouter or kind=fullouter)

Contains a row for every row on the left and right, even if it has no match. The unmatched output cells contain nulls.

Query, Visualize, & Monitor Data in Azure Sentinel

  Azure Sentinel Workbooks Several ready for use templates are provided by the Azure Sentinel that can be used to create your own workbook and then modify them as needed for Contoso. Most of the data connectors it uses to ingest data come with their own workbooks, but better insight can be obtained by simply looking into the data that is being ingested by using tables and visualizations, including bar and pie charts. You can also make your own workbook easily by using this data from the beginning instead of using the predefined templates. Workbook Page You can easily access the workbook page from the Azure Sentinel from the navigation pane which consists of the: Workbook header- You can add a new workbook and review the saved workbooks as well as templates that are available on the workbook page. Templates section- You can access existing workbook templates on the Templates tab. You can save some of the workbooks for quick access and they will appear on the My Workbooks tab.  From the

The loaf balancer also offers an option of DirectServerReturn which if configured, can help in directing the traffic from the DBMS VM to the SAP application layer directly to the application layer without routing through the load balancer. But, if it isn't configured, then the return traffic to the SAP application layer is routed through the load balancer. You can also use Azure Load Balan

Work with String Data Using KQL Statements

  Extract Data from Unstructured String Fields Unstructured string fields often contains the Security log data and requires parsing to extract data. There are multiple ways of pulling information from string fields in KQL and the two primary operators used are extract and parse.  Extract It gets a match for a regular expression from a text string. You can convert the extracted substring to the indicated type.  Arguments regex- A regular expression. captureGroup- A positive int constant indicating the capture group to extract. 0 stands for the entire match, 1 for the value matched by the first '('parenthesis')' in the regular expression, 2 or more for subsequent parenthesis.  text- A string to search. typeLiteral- An optional type literal. If provided, the extracted substring is converted to this type.  Returns If regex finds a match in text- the substring matched against the indicated capture group captureGroup, optionally converted to typeLiteral. If there's no mat
