Microsoft Corporation Azure Monitor Query Client Library for Python
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive MIT license, and is production-stable. Install it if you need to query Azure Monitor logs from Python. Be aware that metrics querying is no longer included—use azure-monitor-querymetrics or azure-mgmt-monitor for that instead.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.9 or later; Azure credentials and a Log Analytics workspace or Azure resource are needed to execute queries.
- Low install friction with three lightweight runtime dependencies (isodate, azure-core, typing-extensions).
- Actively maintained with recent releases; last commit 2026-08-14 and status marked active.

What it is and what it does
Azure Monitor Query is a Python client library for querying logs stored in Azure Monitor's Logs data platform. It provides both synchronous and asynchronous interfaces to execute read-only Kusto Query Language queries against Log Analytics workspaces or individual Azure resources. The library handles authentication via Azure credentials (typically DefaultAzureCredential), manages timespan parameters, and returns structured query results as tables with rows and columns.
The package is designed for developers who need to programmatically access Azure monitoring and diagnostic data. It consolidates log and performance data from multiple sources—platform logs, virtual machine agents, and application telemetry—into queryable results. As of version 2.0.0, metrics querying has been moved to separate packages (azure-monitor-querymetrics or azure-mgmt-monitor), so this library focuses exclusively on logs queries.
Use it for
- Query Azure Log Analytics workspaces to retrieve application logs, performance metrics, and diagnostic data for analysis or reporting.
- Build monitoring dashboards or alerting systems that pull data directly from Azure Monitor logs programmatically.
- Perform resource-centric log queries on individual Azure resources without needing a dedicated Log Analytics workspace.
- Implement batch log queries to retrieve multiple datasets in a single operation for bulk data export or analysis.
- Integrate Azure monitoring data into Python-based data pipelines or ETL workflows using async clients for non-blocking I/O.
