Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be nice to have the ability to query Azure Monitor logs (and app Insights) as a data source in the explorer. This would be a new service like CosmosDB is, etc.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like Azure Monitor Log and Azure App Insights to be data sources that can be connected to and queries executed against using KQL. Either in the Azure Storage explorer, or even in Azure Data Studio would be fine (I'm submitting the idea to both).

Describe alternatives you've considered
I currently use the tools in the portal, but would like to have it in a tool instead where it can be more consistent with the other tools I run (many, many times I hit F5 to run a query like I would for SSMS or Azure Data studio, only to refresh the entire browser page in the portal and lose the work I've been doing on a query)

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the existing CosmosDB service is represented in Azure Storage Explorer and how connections and queries are handled. Define the integration for Azure Monitor Logs and App Insights, including KQL execution; done means both data sources can be connected to and queried in the explorer.
