Configuring your data connection to Azure Data Explorer (ADX)

Data Connections now allows you to export to Azure Data Explorer for near-real time ingestion and distribution of your data. After you configure a data connection with your ADX cluster information, PlayFab exports your data into the ADX cluster specified.
Don’t have a ADX cluster yet? See Create a free Azure Data Explorer cluster.
