Is there any API or powershell cmdlet available for configuring the Azure stroage account for Monitoring?I mean monitoring blobs,queues and tables.
There are many ways by which you can configure storage analytics on a storage account:
Using Storage REST API.
Using Storage Client Library. Look for GetServiceProperties and SetServiceProperties.
If you're looking for a 3rd party tool, there's a free tool available from Cerebrata - http://blog.cerebrata.com/articles/2011/08/11/cerebrata-windows-azure-storage-analytics-configuration-utility-a-free-utility-to-configure-windows-azure-storage-analytics/. Using this tool, you can configure storage analytics.

I did some research and found that there are some options to migrate on-premises QlikView reports to Azure data lake , using the IaaS approach.
Is there an PaaS component for QlikView in Azure ?
As of today , there is no PaaS component in Azure for QlikView . We have to go for the IaaS option, while migrating.
I can't find any Azure PaaS component to bind Qlik and ADLS, except using REST API from this link. The details of authentication of REST API could be referred in that case.
Here are some third-party tools to implement the transmission:
1.Dremio: https://www.dremio.com/, which supports ADLS connector.
2.Panoply: https://panoply.io/integrations/azure-blob-storage/, which supports Azure Blob Storage connector. Next step, you could move data from Azure Blob Storage into ADLS with ADF copy activity.
May I ask what is the security protocol (Https/TCPIP etc) applied in the following scenarios in Azure? I need these details to write my design document.
Between Azure Services
Azure Data Factory interacting with Azure Storage
Azure Databricks interacting with Azure Storage
Azure Python SDK connecting to Storage Account (Is it TCP/IP ?)
If there is any support page in MS Azure, please direct me there.
Inside the Azure data centers used TLS/SSL for communication between
services and you can read about it "Encryption of data in transit"
section on this page.
The main SDK implementations are wrappers around the REST API and
Python SDK is one of them.
my question is about Microsoft Azure blob storage.
Can I manage blob snapshots from user console (azure portal)? Take snapshot,delete,recover etc.
Thanks
No, currently the portal does not offer this functionality. You may want to check out Azure Explorers available in the market. Most of them have support for managing blob snapshots.
I've just discovered that I have 100's of GB of log files/failed request logs on Azure Blob storage that have been accumulating over the years. Is there a tool or technique for managing them - the directory structure is convoluted so its not as easy as just sorting by date (I use Cloud Storage Studio as an Azure management tool)
[With apologies in advance if it feels like product plug] You could possibly look into Azure Diagnostics Manager (http://www.cerebrata.com/Products/AzureDiagnosticsManager). This tool is built specifically for viewing/managing Windows Azure Diagnostics. You could also look into Azure Management Studio (http://www.cerebrata.com) which combines Cloud Storage Studio and Azure Diagnostics Manager into one product and is currently in public beta.
Both tools allow you to purge old data, search for logs data based on date ranges.

Someone explain to me what it is and how the Windows Azure Storage Analytics works and how I can use it in conjunction with storage.
Windows Azure Storage Analytics offers profiler like capabilities for Azure Storage (which includes Tables, Blobs and Queues).
You can find a very good overview of Azure Storage Analytics directly on MSDN. Then, for digging deeper and also getting some code samples, you can go here related to the logging functionality and here for the metrics one.
Check out the new Windows Azure Storage Analytics App for Windows 8 in the app store:
