You can now send runbook job status and runbook job streams from Azure Automation to your Azure Log Analytics (Operations Management Suite) workspace. Some use cases for this feature are:
- Get insight on your Automation jobs.
- Trigger an email or alert based on your runbook job status (failed, suspended).
- Write advanced queries across your job streams.
- Correlate jobs across Automation accounts.
- Visualize your job history over time.
When your logs are being sent to Log Analytics, you can write queries against your Automation logs and set up alerts. Here are a few sample queries to illustrate how you can use these logs:
- Failed or suspended jobs: Category=JobLogs (ResultType=Failed || ResultType=Suspended)
- Jobs with error streams (by job ID): Category=JobStreams StreamType_s=Error | measure count() by JobId_g
- Investigate job streams for a job: Category=JobStreams JobId_g="INSERT RUNBOOK JOB ID HERE" | sort TimeGenerated | select ResultDescription
- Job history over time: Category=JobLogs NOT(ResultType="Started") | measure Count() by ResultType interval 1day
