Terms in this definition
- 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.
- Event
Table in Log Analytics where entries from Windows event logs are kept.
- Resource logs
Platform logs, specific to each resource, describing operations within it. Nothing is gathered or kept until a diagnostic setting sends them to a destination.
- Azure Firewall
Stateful network firewall run by Azure as a managed service; it can be placed in Virtual WAN hubs and administered through Firewall Manager.
- OS
Operating system, which you manage yourself on IaaS VMs. PaaS offerings like App Service do not expose it.
Related terms
- Resource-specific tables
Mode for a diagnostic setting's destination in which every log category gets a dedicated table, such as AZFWNetworkRule for Azure Firewall, rather than everything landing in AzureDiagnostics.
