[QUERY] Support for Metadata Endpoint in Azure.Monitor.Query SDK?

[mfamphlett]

Library name and version

Azure.Monitor.Query 1.6.0

Query/Question

The MetadataResults model exists in the Azure.Monitor.Query package:

sdk/monitor/Azure.Monitor.Query/src/Generated/Models/MetadataResults.cs

This appears to correspond to the response from the REST endpoint:

GET https://api.loganalytics.io/v1/workspaces/{workspaceId}/metadata

However, I can’t find a way to call this endpoint using the .NET SDK. Does the SDK currently support accessing this data, or is using the REST API the only option?

I would strongly prefer not to mix REST and SDK calls in my application, as it complicates implementation and undermines the benefits of using the SDK. Additionally, it seems logical that this endpoint should be supported, given the presence of the MetadataResults model.

If it’s not currently supported, could it be added in a future release? This would provide a more cohesive and streamlined experience for SDK users.

Thank you for considering this suggestion!

Hi @mfamphlett,

Thank you for your message. I believe the metadata link you provided is actually for the Azure.ResourceManager.Query package

The Azure.Monitor.Query package is a dataplane package and not a Management one. I believe the package you're looking for is: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Azure.ResourceManager.Monitor/1.4.0-beta.1.

@ArthurMa1978 - Can you please help understand what management package API should be called for this endpoint?

[mfamphlett]

@nisha-bhatia thanks for the response. I also believe this should be part of Azure.ResourceManager.Monitor but can find no reference to it in the docs or the code.

The relevant class there would seem to be MonitorMetadataValue but this appears to only be referenced by MonitorTimeSeriesElement which seems to be exposed under MetricsRestOperations. However, I can't find reference to this in the docs.

Perhaps I'm missing/misunderstanding something, but I feel this should not be this complicated. Even if I could decipher the correct method from looking at the source is it reasonable to expect people to discover this? As it is, I would say the SDK is unusable for this purpose.

Hey @mfamphlett , thanks for you feedback. From the spec repo, this API is defined in the data-plane of OperationalInsights, which we don't produce .Net SDK for it.

@nisha-bhatia do you know if the service team has asked us to release a sdk for it?
