-## Activity log insights
-
-Activity log insights let you view information about changes to resources and resource groups in a subscription. The dashboards also present data about which users or services performed activities in the subscription and the activities' status. This article explains how to view activity log insights in the Azure portal.
-
-Before you use activity log insights, you must [enable sending logs to your Log Analytics workspace](./diagnostic-settings.md).
-
-### How do activity log insights work?
-
-Activity logs you send to a [Log Analytics workspace](../logs/log-analytics-workspace-overview.md) are stored in a table called `AzureActivity`.
-
-Activity log insights are a curated [Log Analytics workbook](../visualize/workbooks-overview.md) with dashboards that visualize the data in the `AzureActivity` table. For example, data might include which administrators deleted, updated, or created resources and whether the activities failed or succeeded.
