BabyKusto.Core 0.0.7-preview

BabyKusto

BabyKusto is a self-contained execution engine for the Kusto Query Language (KQL). See a live demo.

How to use

Queries that don't rely on any external data can be evaluated with as little as two lines of code:

var query = "print hello='world'";

var engine = new BabyKustoEngine();
var result = engine.Evaluate(query);
result.Dump(Console.Out);

Most real world scenarios will want to operate on real data sourced from elsewhere. For that, BabyKusto allows you to register an ITableSource with any name in the global scope. The ProcessQuerier sample shows how to feed live data to BabyKusto with this mechanism.

var query = @"MyTable | summarize c = count() by AppMachine";

ITableSource myTable = /*...*/; // Get your data from anywhere
var engine = new BabyKustoEngine();
engine.AddGlobalTable("MyTable", myTable);

var result = engine.Evaluate(query);
result.Dump(Console.Out);

This repo ships with three ready-to-run samples that showcase BabyKusto in action.

• HelloWorld: as simple as it gets, shows how to run a simple query.

• ProcessQuerier: a command-line tool that lets you explore processes running on your machine using KQL. For example, find the process using the most memory with a query like this:

  Processes
  | project name, memMB=workingSet/1024/1024
  | order by memMB desc
  | take 1
  

• BlazorApp: a web-facing demo that lets you query an arbitrary CSV file using KQL queries. Live demo.

How it works

BabyKusto leverages the official Microsoft.Azure.Kusto.Language package for parsing and semantic analysis of KQL queries.

The syntax tree is then translated to BabyKusto's internal representation (see InternalRepresentation), which is evaluated by BabyKustoEvaluator.cs.

You can explore the internal representation of a query by setting dumpIRTree: true when calling BabyKustoEngine.Evaluate. Below is an example of the internal representation for the query:

Processes
| project name, memMB=workingSet/1024/1024
| order by memMB desc
| take 1
