Automatic

If you export the events to azure blob storage you can do multiple things:

• Use Azure Data Factory to copy the data from blob storage to Azure Data Lake
• Use AdlCopy to copy the data from blob storage to Azure Data Lake
• Write an U-Sql job to copy the data to Azure Data Lake

Manual

To manually place exported Application Insights data (in .xls format) you can use the portal to upload the file to Azure Data Lake.

If you need to have more control about the exported data you can use Application Insights Analytics to create a query based on the available data and export it to an .xls file.

If course you can also create a small app to export the .xls file to Azure Data Lake if you do not want to upload it using the portal. You can use the api for that.
