Log Analytics: Enhancement in REST API source creation workflow

The Log Analytics user interface for creating a REST API type log source is now enhanced with the following changes:

• When you click Add log endpoint, you can select one of the two Log endpoint types:
  • Select Log when the endpoint response contains log records to collect.
  • Select Initialization when the endpoint retrieves values, such as a session token, for later endpoints. HTTP cookies are passed on to subsequent endpoints.
• The option to click Add list endpoint for multiple logs allows you to add log list endpoints. These endpoints can also now use the values retrieved in the Initialization endpoint.
• Option to place Initialization endpoints before the endpoints that use their response values.
