This repository hosts an Azure Function App Python code in order to run Log Analytics and Resource Graph queries and send results to Splunk Observability (formerly SignalFx) or Datadog.

• A Python 3.12 Azure Function App
• A Log Analytics Workspace with resources Diagnostic Settings linked to it
• A Table Storage containing the queries.
• Function Managed Identity or Azure Service Principal with at least Log Analytics Reader right on the Log Analytics Workspace for Log Analytics queries, Reader on the subscription for the Resource Graph for Resource Graph queries and Reader and Data Access on the Storage Account if storage key is not provided.
• Either:
  • A Splunk Observability account and its associated ingest Token
  • OR a Datadog account and its associated API key

• QUERIES_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME (optional): The name of the Storage Account containing the table with the queries. If not set, use the AzureWebJobsStorage connection string.
• QUERIES_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY (optional): The key to access the Storage Account containing the table with the queries, will try to fetch it if empty. If not set, use the AzureWebJobsStorage connection string.
• QUERIES_STORAGE_TABLE_NAME (optional, defaults to LogQueries): The name of the table in the Storage Account with the queries
• METRICS_EXTRA_DIMENSIONS (optional): Extra dimensions/tags to send along the metrics. Example: env=prod,dd_monitored=true

• SFX_TOKEN (required for Splunk): The Splunk Observability token for metric sending
• SFX_REALM (optional, defaults to eu0): Splunk realm (region) to use for metric sending

• DD_API_KEY (required for Datadog): The Datadog API key for metric sending
• DD_API_HOST (optional, defaults to https://api.datadoghq.eu): Datadog API host

• LOG_ANALYTICS_WORKSPACE_GUID (required): ID of the Log Analytics Workspace for Log Analytics queries
• SUBSCRIPTION_ID (required): ID of the Subscription for Resource Graph queries
• LOG_LEVEL (optional, defaults to INFO): Logging level
• AZURE_CLIENT_ID (optional): Azure Service Principal ID if Service Principal authentication is used
• AZURE_TENANT_ID (optional): Azure Tenant ID if Service Principal authentication is used
• AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET (optional): Azure Service Principal secret key if Service Principal authentication is used

The function runs all the queries stored in the associated Table Storage every minute within the given Log Analytics Workspace and sends the results to either Splunk Observability or Datadog, depending on the configuration.

Each query specifies the value of the metric and its associated time. Every column in the query is sent as metric dimension along with the defined extra dimensions.

The records in the Table Storage must have the following columns:

• MetricName: Name of the metric to send to the configured backend (Splunk Observability or Datadog)
• Query: Query to run either on the Log Analytics Workspace or the Azure Resource Graph (See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/logs/get-started-queries)
• QueryType: Type of Query to run. Can be log_analytics (default) or resource_graph. (See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/logs/get-started-queries)

The query must contain the columns metric_value with a metric value and timestamp with the datetime of the metric to send. The others columns must be strings and are treated as dimensions for the metric.

For Log Analytics queries, you must specify a time range in your query to avoid retrieving and sending a huge amount of data.

You can use Zip deployment, Azure Function Core Tools or any other Azure deployment method to deploy this application.
