Log Analyics adding Customer dimensions possible via powershell? - json

Question

Hello I am trying to add a custom dimension or something similar called properties. Below I added a printscreen so something similar found online
Here is the code I used to try and create this
$JSON = #{
Type = 'SQL'
Subscriptionname = "123"
property = #{
SQLServerName = "myServer";
DatabaseName = "myDatabase";
}
}
$json2 = $JSON | ConvertTo-Json
# $json2
# Submit the data to the API endpoint
Post-LogAnalyticsData -customerId $customerId -sharedKey $sharedKey -body ([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($json2)) -logType "MyRecordTypetoo"
But the results came out like below
Anyone have any ideas to get this working?
