Connecting storage account datalake 2 to log analytics workspace

Question

I have a storage account datalake Gen2. I need to connect my storage account logs to a Log analytics workspace.

But there is no Diagnostic Settings menu, so I don't know how to do.

I think this was supported by datalake Gen1, but is there a workaround for datalake gen 2?

thank you

There is a Diagnostic settings option at the end of the left sidebar, but you have to scroll quite a bit to find it.

Sadly, i believe currently there is no such option to automatically send diagnostic logs to a log analytics workspace. The active logs will be generated inside a folder named "$logs" located on the root path of your storage account, its only visible through Azure storage explorer.

Microsoft provides a Powershell script located at Azure GitHub which aims to upload the log files generated to a log analytics workspace of your choice.

You can refer to this official guide from Microsoft to build this workflow to send your logs to log analytics: Querying Azure Storage logs in Azure Monitor Log Analytics
