Log analytics

The Matillion CDC agent requires an existing Log Analytics workspace to be available for its logging functionality. This must be completed prior to agent installation.

It is possible to use an existing Log Analytics workspace to use with the Matillion CDC agent, however we recommend setting up new resources which is covered in this article.

Log Analytics

Setting up the workspace

1. Log in to the Microsoft Azure Portal.
2. Browse to the Log Analytics workspaces resource.
3. Click Create.
4. Select a resource group and region. It is recommended to choose the same as you will be launching your agent (and Key Vault) in. You may want to create a new resource group to contain your CDC resources in.
5. Give your new workspace a name and click Review + create then Create.
6. After a brief moment your resource will be created. Click Go to resource when complete.
