Azure Monitor Workbook

description Azure Monitor Workbook Overview

Workbooks provide a more interactive and narrative-driven way to visualize data than static dashboards. They allow you to embed multiple queries (from Logs, Metrics, etc.) into a single, navigable report. This is ideal for creating deep-dive reports for stakeholders who need to explore data relationships step-by-step.

help Azure Monitor Workbook FAQ

Are Azure Monitor Workbooks free to use?

The Workbooks feature itself carries no additional license cost in Azure Monitor. You do pay for the underlying data, such as Log Analytics ingestion and retention, that your workbook queries consume.

What's the difference between Azure Workbooks and dashboards?

Dashboards are static collections of pinned tiles, while Workbooks are interactive, report-style documents that combine multiple queries with parameters and text into a navigable narrative. That makes them better suited to deep-dive reports for stakeholders than a glance-and-go dashboard.

Can I use KQL queries inside an Azure Monitor Workbook?

Yes, Workbooks let you embed KQL log queries from Log Analytics alongside metrics and other data sources. A single workbook can pull several of these query results together into one report.

Can I share or reuse an Azure Monitor Workbook?

Yes, workbooks can be shared with others in your Azure environment via links and exported as ARM templates for reuse. Microsoft also maintains a public gallery of workbook templates on GitHub that you can deploy into your own subscriptions.
