Azure Storage Explorer: How to query Table Storage Rowkey with “Contains”?

Question

We are sending our logs to Azure Table Storage. I am trying to query those logs but finding it hard to do via Azure Storage Explorer. I can't imagine why there is not a "contains" option to filter the RowKey column (where our actual log data is contained.)

Am I missing something obvious? Or is there a better tool for this job?

Answer 1

Contains unfortunately is not a supported query operator in Azure Table Storage.

For a list of supported/unsupported query operators, please see this link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/query-operators-supported-for-the-table-service .
