description Azure Monitor Workbooks Overview

Workbooks allow users to build rich, interactive, and narrative-driven reports directly within the Azure portal. Unlike static dashboards, Workbooks allow embedding multiple query results (metrics, logs, resource data) into a single, guided document. This is perfect for creating compliance reports or post-mortem analyses that tell a story with data.

help Azure Monitor Workbooks FAQ

How do Azure Monitor Workbooks differ from standard Azure Dashboards?

While standard Azure Dashboards focus on pinning static tiles for a quick glance, Workbooks allow you to build interactive, narrative-driven reports using multiple data sources like logs and metrics. They provide a guided document experience directly within the Azure portal, making it easier to troubleshoot complex issues step-by-step.

Can I use Kusto Query Language (KQL) in Azure Monitor Workbooks?

Yes, Azure Monitor Workbooks support KQL to query Azure Monitor Logs, allowing you to pull highly customized data sets into your reports. You can combine these log queries with Azure Resource Graph data and standard performance metrics to create comprehensive visualizations.

Can I share an Azure Monitor Workbook with my team?

Yes, Workbooks can be shared with team members by saving them to a shared Azure resource group or linking them directly via a URL. You can also control access using standard Azure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to ensure only authorized users can view or edit the reports.
