How does Claude run KQL queries?

Claude uses the azure__kusto or azure__monitor MCP tools to execute Kusto Query Language (KQL) commands against your workspaces.

Does it support infrastructure metrics?

Yes, it can query standard Azure metrics like CPU usage, memory, and network throughput using the Azure CLI or MCP tools.

Can I use this for distributed tracing?

Yes, it provides access to Application Insights for APM features, including distributed tracing and request performance analysis.

What is the Azure Observability skill for Claude?

It is a specialized capability that allows Claude to access and analyze Azure monitoring services like Log Analytics, App Insights, and Azure Monitor directly.

What tools are required to use this skill?

You need the Azure MCP server enabled. If not active, you can run /azure:setup or enable it via the /mcp command.
