# azure-loganalytics — Microsoft Azure Log Analytics Client Library for Python

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 1.8M/mo

## What it is and what it does

azure-loganalytics is a Python client library for the Microsoft Azure Log Analytics service, allowing developers to query and retrieve log data from Azure workspaces. It depends on msrest, azure-common, and azure-nspkg to handle REST communication and Azure SDK infrastructure.

However, this package has been explicitly marked as no longer maintained since November 2021. Microsoft has published a migration guide and recommends using azure-monitor-query as its replacement. New projects should not adopt this package; existing users should plan migration to the successor library.

Use it for:

- Querying historical Log Analytics data from legacy applications still running on older codebases
- Migrating away from this package to azure-monitor-query using the provided migration guide
- Maintaining existing Python 2.7 or early Python 3 applications that depend on this client

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides a Python client for querying Azure Log Analytics workspaces, though the package is no longer maintained and has been superseded by azure-monitor-query.

No. This package is explicitly unmaintained and superseded by azure-monitor-query. While it carries low install friction and no known vulnerabilities, its inactive status means no bug fixes or API updates will be provided. Existing users should migrate using the published guide; new projects should use azure-monitor-query directly.

## Install

pip install azure-loganalytics
uv add azure-loganalytics
poetry add azure-loganalytics

## Installing azure-loganalytics

Before you install: Low install friction, but maintenance status is inactive as of the latest release in November 2021. The package is explicitly marked as no longer maintained in its own description.

License in practice: MIT License permits use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions, suitable for most projects.

Quickstart:

pip install azure-loganalytics
from azure.loganalytics import LogAnalyticsClient
# Note: This package is no longer maintained; use azure-monitor-query instead

Package is inactive and no longer maintained; Microsoft recommends migrating to azure-monitor-query

Verify before relying:

- Whether existing deployments using this package will continue to function with current Azure service APIs
- Compatibility with modern Python versions beyond 3.7, given the package's age and inactive status
