Log data in Azure Monitor is stored in a Log Analytics workspace. If you already created a workspace in your subscription, then you can use that one. You can also choose to use the default workspace that's created in each Azure subscription.
If you want to create a new Log Analytics, then you can use the following procedure. If you're going to use an existing one, then move on to the next section.
From All services in the Azure portal, select Log Analytics workspaces.

On the Basics tab, select a Subscription, Resource group, and Region for the workspace. These do not need to be the same as the resource being monitored. Provide a Name that must be globally unique across all Azure Monitor subscriptions.
