Tutorial: Cypher graph editor

CSA Loom cypher-graph editor — verified working against a live console by the UAT harness on 2026-07-01.

Open the editor

  1. Sign in to your CSA Loom Console (for example https://<your-console-host>).
  2. Open or create a workspace from the Workspaces page.
  3. Click + New item and choose Cypher graph from the catalog.
  4. The editor opens at /items/cypher-graph/<id>:

Cypher graph editor

What this editor does

A Cypher graph lets Neo4j-trained engineers use the openCypher dialect; in Loom it is translated to ADX make-graph/graph-match operators and dispatched via the KQL database query route — server-side, no Spark or Gremlin, millisecond-scale up to ~10M edges.

Getting started

  1. Load sample data — Run admin Load sample data (kind=graph) once to create SampleSocialGraph in the default Kusto DB.
  2. Write Cypher — Author Cypher patterns; (a)-[1..3]->(b) maps to KQL graph-match (a)-[e1..3]->(b).
  3. Run via KQL backend — The translator emits make-graph + graph-match and dispatches to the KQL database query route.
  4. Use path operators — For shortest path use graph-shortest-paths; results render in the graph view.
