While I mostly write about SQL Server, I have a soft spot for Kusto. In this series, I will explore solutions to fun challenges collectively known as the Kusto Detective Agency.
What’s a Kusto Detective Agency?
It’s essentially a series of exercises where you tackle problems and uncover insights from data. Think of it as solving a mystery, but instead of clues and suspects, you’re working with data sets and queries.
You can try it yourself here: Kusto Detective Agency
Reason
There will be a new challenge on June 8th called Call of the Cyber Duty , with a grand prize of $10k.
While I’ve already completed the previous challenges, it’s been a while, and I need a refresher to keep my skills sharp.
I’ve completed both full seasons and some holiday challenges as well. The only one I skipped is Digibus Real-Time Crisis,
because it involves Fabric.
Change of order
The order of challenges in the menu now doesn’t match the chronological release of the season. I can also see that they’ve added names to them:
- Season 1
- Now named New Shadows Over Digitown
- 5 cases
- Difficulty level = master (est. completion time 20 hours)
- Listed as second
- Season 2
- Now named Echoes of Deception
- 10 cases
- Difficulty level = expert (est. completion time 20 hours)
- Listed as first
I’ll adhere to the newly preferred order: Season 2 first, then Season 1
