Activity logs insights let you view information about changes to resources and resource groups in your Azure subscription. It uses information from the [Activity log](activity-log.md) to also present data about which users or services performed particular activities in the subscription. This includes which administrators deleted, updated or created resources, and whether the activities failed or succeeded. This article explains how to enable and use Activity log insights.

## How does Activity logs insights work?

21-
Activity logs you send to a [Log Analytics workspace](/azure/azure-monitor/logs/log-analytics-workspace-overview) are stored in a table called AzureActivity.

Activity logs insights are a curated [Log Analytics workbook](/azure/azure-monitor/visualize/workbooks-overview) with dashboards that visualize the data in the AzureActivity table. For example, which administrators deleted, updated or created resources, and whether the activities failed or succeeded.

## Enable Activity log insights
17+
The only requirement to enable Activity log insights is to [configure the Activity log to export to a Log Analytics workspace](activity-log.md#send-to-log-analytics-workspace). Pre-built [workbooks](/azure/azure-monitor/visualize/workbooks-overview) curate this data, which is stored in the [AzureActivity](/azure/azure-monitor/reference/tables/azureactivity) table in the workspace.
