Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “Commands such as sort by and limit control the order and the number of records in the output.”

A block of code is set as follows:

AzureNetworkAnalytics_CL
| where SubType_s == "FlowLog"
| extend FlowDirection = iff(FlowDirection_s == 'O', 'Outbound', 'Inbound')
| extend AllowedOrDenied = iff(FlowStatus_s == 'A', 'Allowed', 'Denied')

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

StorageBlobLogs
| where TimeGenerated > ago(7d)
| project TimeGenerated, OperationName, AuthenticationType, Uri, _ResourceId, CallerIpAddress

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ gsutil iam get gs://test_cf1_test1

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on screen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “All virtual networks can be accessed directly from the Virtual networks service on Azure’s Home page.”
