In my previous post I blogged about how to install the latest version of Azure Stack Development Kit. Release 1.1809.0.90 has a built-in syslog client which I wanted to test. Azure Log Analytics supports syslog messages and therefore I think it is a valid solution to use it with Azure Stack. Sounds very cool in […]

Azure Stack – Deploy Latest Azure Stack Development Kit 1.1809.0.90 on Azure VM
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a blog post how to install Azure Stack Development Kit (ASDK) 1.1018.0.97 on an Azure VM. If we want to test the latest release of Azure Stack (DK) we need to redeploy the entire VM, because there is no supported update nor upgrade process for the ASDK. So […]
Azure Stack – Azure Stack Development Kit Meets Terraform
In this post I would like to write about my experiences using Terraform on Azure Stack Development Kit (ASDK). What is Terraform? Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions. Configuration files describe to Terraform the […]
Azure Monitor – Combine Azure Monitor and Azure Log Analytics Data in Grafana
Probably one of the biggest pain in monitoring is to provide a dashboard displaying all information needed. There are many third party solutions available but also Microsoft offers plenty of ways to display monitoring information. One feature I like very much is to have Azure Log Analytic queries exported and displayed in PowerBI. In this […]
Azure Stack – Azure Stack Development Kit Azure Registration
The next step in our Azure Stack Development Kit journey is to join Azure. In order to download marketplace items from Azure and to set up commerce data reporting back to Microsoft, we will need to register Azure Stack in Azure. This is required to support full Azure Stack functionality, including marketplace syndication. If you […]

Azure Stack – Deploy Azure Stack on Azure VM
At Ignite 2018 a couple of weeks ago, I got the feeling that Microsoft is getting really serious about their hybrid cloud strategy. It may sound strange or weird, because Microsoft always used the terms hybrid cloud and announced tailored products. But in the past years, I wasn’t really sure that Microsoft will hear the […]
Azure Log Analytics – Get Windows Event Description
There are cases where Microsoft tries to make our live a bit harder than it needs to be. One thing I always struggled with in the old SCOM days and also in the present Azure Log Analytics (ALA) days are Windows event descriptions. I just had a need to get the event description for a […]
Azure Monitor – Modify Alerts Using Logic App
I am a big fan of Azure Monitor and Azure in general. What I like is the service offers, the flexibility, standards and the chance that you can build basically anything you want – the limit is your imagination. In terms of flexibility I have a nice example which was bothering me for some time. […]
Azure – Azure Mask
I really like to do presentations about the latest and greatest Microsoft Azure technology. One big security problem I always have is that e.g. Subscription ID, email addresses, keys etc. are visible on a big screen or visible in the session recordings afterwards. A very nice tool to hide such sensitive information is a browser […]
