We are logging trace data to AppInsights from an Azure Function using log.LogInformation(someString);
In AppInsights we are able to query the data in 'traces'. The AppInsights account was created using a Log Analytics Workspace. In the Workspace we see what appears to be the same data in 'AppTraces'. These two tables have similar fields but completely different names, for example traces.timestamp versus AppTraces.TimeGenerated.
Are these truly the same data? Is the data mapped or duplicated in AppInsights? We are hoping to use the Workspace as our centralized source-of-truth and write all of our queries there.
Yes. This is the same AI data mapped to the new Log Analytics workspace: Tables: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/convert-classic-resource#table-structure
