A Log Source in Logging Analytics defines how logs are collected and processed:
Which Parsers to use (A): Specifies the parsers (e.g., Syslog, JSON) that extract fields from logs,
enabling structured analysis.
Where to find Logs (C): Defines the log location (e.g., file path /var/log/messages, database
connection string), directing the collection process.
Why not B or D?
Where to store Log data (B): Storage is managed by Logging Analytics, not defined in the Source.
Which Management Agents to use (D): Agents are associated with Entities, not specified in the
Source.
These elements configure log ingestion effectively.
