Description

We want to analyze TRE logs to understand the actions a user performed — for example:

  • “Create Workspace” or “Create VM”
  • Navigating into a workspace to view details

In Log Analytics:

  • The Requests table captures requests, but does not include user identifiers.
  • The Traces table also lacks this context.

I know that Cosmos DB entries store these operations and can be queried through Swagger. Is there a way to obtain user-specific action details directly from TRE logs, or is Cosmos DB currently the only reliable source for this information

Research direction

No repository files or tests are named. Start with the Log Analytics Requests and Traces tables and the Cosmos DB operations queried through Swagger; document whether user-specific actions can be obtained from TRE logs and identify the reliable source.
