We need to identify the distinct event ID of each VM. Here it’s a sample of the table:
Name,Event ID,,,,,,,,
VM1 ,[100,200,303,504, 726, 1200],,,,,,,,
VM2,[101,202,300,303,407,426,508,1500],,,,,,,,
…,…,,,,,,,,
Below there is the query:
Event |order by TimeGenerated desc | ??? ??? by computer
Complete the query below using the commands (you can use them more than once):
* count()
* makelist(EventID)
* makeset(EventID)
* mv-expand
* project
* render
* summarize
| where TimeGenerated > ago(12h)
Name | Event ID | | | | | | | | |
Event |order by TimeGenerated desc |summarize makeset(EventID) by computer
where TimeGenerated > ago(12h)
