Upload data from Azure Automation Account Powershell - azure

Question

I have some code which pulls out a Kusto query from Azure Monitor and I need to upload the data to a blob storage account for long term retention.
I can pull out the data and display it in the azure automation screen when I run through the test pane, but it doesn't upload to blob.
I think the error is here
$SearchResult
$StorageAccountName = Get-AutomationVariable -Name "AccessKey"
$StorageAccountKey = Get-AutomationVariable -Name "StorageAccName"
foreach ($sr in $SearchResult){
$ctx = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName $StorageAccountName `
-StorageAccountKey $StorageAccountKey
$ContainerName = "Data"
New-AzureStorageContainer -Name $ContainerName -Context $ctx -Permission Blob
$BlobName = "$sr"
Set-AzureStorageBlobContent -Container $ContainerName -Blob $BlobName `
-Context $ctx
The full script is below

Basically it authenticates using some stored variables and then runs a query which returns the results below (up to that part works), but then I'd like to upload the data to Blob.
The output example can be found at:

If there's a better way of getting a kusto query stored straight to blob storage I'd be happy to consider that .. thanks everyone :)

Your Set-AzureStorageBlobContent call seems to be missing the -File parameter. You probably get a message complaining about this in the job Error stream.
Assuming that you want to send the data stored in the $sr variable, something like this should work (not tested):
$tempFile = New-TemporaryFile
$sr | Out-File -FilePath $tempFile.FullName
Set-AzureStorageBlobContent ... -File $tempFile.FullName
Remove-Item $tempFile
