Public Preview: Export historical data from Log Analytics workspace with Export jobs

The Log Analytics Export job enables you to export historical data from a Log Analytics workspace to an Azure Storage account based on a specified query and time range. This allows you to extract only the data you need and move it to external systems for further processing or long-term retention.  

Key scenarios include: 

• Compliance and audit – Export data from specific time periods to support audit requests, legal holds, and regulatory requirements. 
• Security investigations – Extract relevant datasets for forensic analysis or integration with third-party SIEM solutions.  
• Advanced analytics and machine learning – Use exported datasets to build and train models in external environments.  
• Business intelligence and reporting – Combine exported logs with other data sources to enable reporting and analytics across your organization.  
• Data migration – Move data out of Log Analytics for use in other platforms or long-term storage.
