Azure tools are used for managing data in Azure Application Insights and Azure Search, using Microsoft REST API. These tools allow the retrieval of Sitecore XP logs (traces, exceptions, requests) and indexes from Azure Search.
Note: Sitecore Azure Tools is a community tool that is not supported in the scope of the Sitecore Support Program.
