Comments

<comment>

::=

/* text_of_comment */ -- text_of_comment

Comments are user-provided text not evaluated by Log Parser, used to document code or temporarily disable parts of query statements.

Remarks:

• Use -- for single-line or nested comments. Comments inserted with -- are delimited by the newline character.
• Multiple-line comments must be indicated by /* and */.
• There is no maximum length for comments.

Examples:

A. Single-line comments

SELECT TimeGenerated, SourceName
FROM   System -- We are using the SYSTEM event log

B. Multiple-line comments

SELECT   TypeName, COUNT(*) AS TotalCount
USING    TO_UPPERCASE( EXTRACT_TOKEN(EventTypeName, 0, ' ') ) AS TypeName
INTO     Report.csv
FROM     System
/* We only want to retrieve event logs whose
   type name contains 'service'
*/
WHERE    TypeName LIKE '%service%'
GROUP BY TypeName
HAVING   TotalCount > 5
ORDER BY TotalCount DESC
