Terms in this definition
- Event
Table in Log Analytics where entries from Windows event logs are kept.
- Dedicated cluster
To encrypt Azure Monitor Logs with your own keys, the Log Analytics workspace must be linked to this cluster tier. Setting a CMK on a storage account gives Log Analytics no such protection.
- WHERE
Limits a SELECT, UPDATE or DELETE to just the rows meeting a condition. Omit it, and the statement hits every row.
- subscription
Entitlement bought for a product under VCF 9.0 licensing, carrying a set capacity. Where active ones share the same site, unit and product, their capacity is combined into licences, which are then allocated to vCenters.
- Activity log
Record, held for 90 days, of control-plane operations in a subscription such as deployments and Policy events. Data-plane actions, Key Vault reads for example, are not captured.
