Azure Monitor Ingestion SDK for Python

Send custom logs to Azure Monitor Log Analytics workspace using the Logs Ingestion API.

Installation

pip install azure-monitor-ingestion
pip install azure-identity

Environment Variables

# Data Collection Endpoint (DCE)
AZURE_DCE_ENDPOINT=https://<dce-name>.<region>.ingest.monitor.azure.com

# Data Collection Rule (DCR) immutable ID
AZURE_DCR_RULE_ID=dcr-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

# Stream name from DCR
AZURE_DCR_STREAM_NAME=Custom-MyTable_CL

Prerequisites

Before using this SDK, you need:

Log Analytics Workspace — Target for your logs
Data Collection Endpoint (DCE) — Ingestion endpoint
Data Collection Rule (DCR) — Defines schema and destination
Custom Table — In Log Analytics (created via DCR or manually)

Authentication

from azure.monitor.ingestion import LogsIngestionClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
import os

client = LogsIngestionClient(
    endpoint=os.environ["AZURE_DCE_ENDPOINT"],
    credential=DefaultAzureCredential()
)

Upload Custom Logs

from azure.monitor.ingestion import LogsIngestionClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
import os

client = LogsIngestionClient(
    endpoint=os.environ["AZURE_DCE_ENDPOINT"],
    credential=DefaultAzureCredential()
)

rule_id = os.environ["AZURE_DCR_RULE_ID"]
stream_name = os.environ["AZURE_DCR_STREAM_NAME"]

logs = [
    {"TimeGenerated": "2024-01-15T10:00:00Z", "Computer": "server1", "Message": "Application started"},
    {"TimeGenerated": "2024-01-15T10:01:00Z", "Computer": "server1", "Message": "Processing request"},
    {"TimeGenerated": "2024-01-15T10:02:00Z", "Computer": "server2", "Message": "Connection established"}
]

client.upload(rule_id=rule_id, stream_name=stream_name, logs=logs)

import json

with open("logs.json", "r") as f:
    logs = json.load(f)

client.upload(rule_id=rule_id, stream_name=stream_name, logs=logs)

    print(f"Upload failed: {error.error}")
    failed_logs.extend(error.failed_logs)

client.upload(
    rule_id=rule_id,
    stream_name=stream_name,
    logs=logs,
    on_error=on_error
)

# Retry failed logs
if failed_logs:
    print(f"Retrying {len(failed_logs)} failed logs...")
    client.upload(rule_id=rule_id, stream_name=stream_name, logs=failed_logs)

def ignore_errors(error):
    pass  # Silently ignore upload failures

client.upload(
    rule_id=rule_id,
    stream_name=stream_name,
    logs=logs,
    on_error=ignore_errors
)

    async with LogsIngestionClient(

)

Client	Purpose
`LogsIngestionClient`	Sync client for uploading logs
`LogsIngestionClient` (aio)	Async client for uploading logs

Concept	Description
DCE	Data Collection Endpoint — ingestion URL
DCR	Data Collection Rule — defines schema, transformations, destination
Stream	Named data flow within a DCR
Custom Table	Target table in Log Analytics (ends with `_CL`)
