Workbooks are the best solution because they provide a flexible canvas for data analysis and the creation of rich visual reports within Azure. They can query data from various sources, including Log Analytics workspaces, and present it in a variety of visual formats like charts, graphs, and grids. Workbooks also allow you to create interactive reports and dashboards without writing complex code, which minimizes administrative effort.
Why not the other options?
A Playbook: In the context of Azure, a playbook (also known as a Logic App) is an automated workflow used for responding to security alerts or other events. It's not designed for creating visual reports.
A Notebook: An Azure Notebook (or Jupyter Notebook) is an interactive environment for writing and running code (like Python or R) to analyze data. While you could create a report this way, it requires more technical effort and coding knowledge compared to a Workbook, which offers a more user-friendly, low-code interface for visualization.
A PowerShell script: A PowerShell script could be used to query the data from Log Analytics, but it would only output raw data to the console or a file. It doesn't natively provide a visual report or a dashboard-like experience, and creating one would require significant additional scripting and effort.
