# Azure Monitor Ingestion SDK for Python
Send custom logs to Azure Monitor Log Analytics workspace using the Logs Ingestion API.
Installation
pip install azure-monitor-ingestion
pip install azure-identityEnvironment Variables
# Data Collection Endpoint (DCE)
AZURE_DCE_ENDPOINT=https://<dce-name>.<region>.ingest.monitor.azure.com
# Data Collection Rule (DCR) immutable ID
AZURE_DCR_RULE_ID=dcr-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
# Stream name from DCR
AZURE_DCR_STREAM_NAME=Custom-MyTable_CLPrerequisites
Before using this SDK, you need:
1. **Log Analytics Workspace** — Target for your logs
2. **Data Collection Endpoint (DCE)** — Ingestion endpoint
3. **Data Collection Rule (DCR)** — Defines schema and destination
4. **Custom Table** — In Log Analytics (created via DCR or manually)

Handle partial failures with a callback:

def on_error(error):
print(f"Upload failed: {error.error}")
failed_logs.extend(error.failed_logs)
client.upload(
rule_id=rule_id,

logs=logs,
on_error=on_error
)
# Retry failed logs
if failed_logs:
print(f"Retrying {len(failed_logs)} failed logs...")

def ignore_errors(error):

client = LogsIngestionClient(
endpoint="https://example.ingest.monitor.azure.us",
credential=credential,
credential_scopes=["https://monitor.azure.us/.default"]
)Batching Behavior
The SDK automatically:
- Splits logs into chunks of 1MB or less
- Compresses each chunk with gzip
- Uploads chunks in parallel
No manual batching needed for large log sets.
