Yes. If you select an existing workspace, make sure that it was migrated to the new query language. If you don't want to upgrade the workspace, you need to create a new one. For more information about Kusto Query Language (KQL), see [Log queries in Azure Monitor](/azure/azure-monitor/logs/log-query-overview).

Traffic analytics performs a resource discovery scan every 6 hours to identify new VMs, NICs, virtual networks, and subnets. When a new VM or NIC is created after the most recent discovery cycle, and flow data is collected before the next discovery, traffic analytics can't yet associate the traffic with a known resource. As a result, those resources are temporarily labeled as *unknown* in the analytics view.
