Is there a way to identify and get a list of all the sources (i.e. Apps, OS, Azure Resources, Azure Subscription, Azure Tenant, Custom Sources etc.) that are sending data (Logs/Metrics) to Azure Monitor in our subscription? Is there a dashboard, or view that would list every single source that's sending data to Azure Monitor?

    Hi,
    You can use the Usage table to get Data Types and solutions: 

    Usage   
| distinct  DataType, Solution

    Additionally, you can use the search function to find Data types, resource IDs, subscriptions and tenants. 

    search * | distinct  Type, _ResourceId, TenantId, SubscriptionId

    Keep in mind that this is a resource intensive query, so it is not meant to be executed all the time. Also, not every log would contain _ResourceId, TenantId and SubscriptionId columns. If you need something specific for a specific log you will need to drill down to that log in order to find the needed information.
