Connect the Azure Activity connector

Completed

The Azure Activity Log is a subscription log that provides insight into subscription-level events that occur in Azure. The events included are from Azure Resource Manager operational data, service health events, write operations taken on the resources in your subscription, and the status of activities performed in Azure. The Azure Activity Data connector uses Azure Policy to apply an Azure Subscription log-streaming pipeline that sends the event data to Log Analytics.
