Create a Log Analytics workspace in the Azure portal
Use the Log Analytics workspaces menu to create a Log Analytics workspace in the Azure portal. Log Analytics workspace is the environment for Azure Monitor log data. Each workspace has its own data repository and configuration, and data sources and solutions are configured to store their data in a particular workspace. A workspace has unique workspace ID and resource ID. You can reuse the same workspace name when in different resource groups. You require a Log Analytics workspace if you intend on collecting data from the following sources:
- Azure resources in your subscription
- On-premises computers monitored by System Center Operations Manager
- Device collections from Configuration Manager
- Diagnostics or log data from Azure storage
If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a free account before you begin.
Sign in to Azure portal
Sign in to the Azure portal at https://portal.azure.com.
Create a workspace
In the Azure portal, click All services. In the list of resources, type Log Analytics. As you begin typing, the list filters based on your input. Select Log Analytics workspaces.

Click Add, and then provide values for the following options:
Select a Subscription to link to by selecting from the drop-down list if the default selected is not appropriate.
For Resource Group, choose to use an existing resource group already setup or create a new one.
Provide a name for the new Log Analytics workspace, such as DefaultLAWorkspace. This name must be unique per resource group.
Select an available Region. For more information, see which regions Log Analytics is available in and search for Azure Monitor from the Search for a product field.

Click Review + create to review the settings and then Create to create the workspace. This will select a default pricing tier of Pay-as-you-go which will not incur any charges until you start collecting a sufficient amount of data. For more information about other pricing tiers, see Log Analytics Pricing Details.
Troubleshooting
When you create a workspace that was deleted in the last 14 days and in soft-delete state, the operation could have different outcome depending on your workspace configuration:
- If you provide the same workspace name, resource group, subscription and region as in the deleted workspace, your workspace will be recovered including its data, configuration and connected agents.
- Workspace name must be unique per resource group. If you use a workspace name that is already exists, also in soft-delete in your resource group, you will get an error The workspace name 'workspace-name' is not unique, or conflict. To override the soft-delete and permanently delete your workspace and create a new workspace with the same name, follow these steps to recover the workspace first and perform permanent delete:
- Recover your workspace
- Permanently delete your workspace
- Create a new workspace using the same workspace name
Next steps
Now that you have a workspace available, you can configure collection of monitoring telemetry, run log searches to analyze that data, and add a management solution to provide additional data and analytic insights.
- See Monitor health of Log Analytics workspace in Azure Monitor create alert rules to monitor the health of your workspace.
- See Collect Azure service logs and metrics for use in Log Analytics to enable data collection from Azure resources with Azure Diagnostics or Azure storage.
