In the Azure portal, how to add Microsoft Insights Diagnostic Settings Write, to Web App

Question

I'm going through a lesson video to prepare for the Azure AD Administrator exam. I'm using the Log Analytics Workspace for these steps. I also added the Diagnostic settings, with the App Services Web App Window.

In the lesson video for the web app's App Services, in the Azure portal Monitor window. He runs a query using the AzureActivity, that then returns results and he points too and specifies the OperationNameValue of Microsoft.Insights/Diagnosticsettings/Write

Yet when I run the same AzureActivity query, in the Monitor Logs window for the Web App. The only results I receive are about the web app service starting and then restarting a couple times over the last 48 hours.

Yet that Microsoft.Insights/Diagnosticsettings/write doesn't show at all. What am I missing to get this to show as well? As the lesson video doesn't mention this part.

I've looked through the App Insights Diagnostic settings, I have the following selected: Exceptions, Page view, performance counters, requests, traces, AllMetrics.

Also for the Web App, App Services Diagnostic settings, I have all of the Logs and Metrics selected: HTTP logs, App Service Console Logs, App Service Application Logs, Access Audit Logs, IPSecurity Audit Logs, App Service Platform logs, AllMetrics.

Additionally in the Monitor Diagnostic settings window, I have the Application Insights enabled.

Yet I'm still not seeing a setting to make the Diagnosticsettings/write show up in the query.

I realize I probably went into more details here then necessary, but as I'm not sure what I'm overlooking. I thought it was best to add as much information as I could think of.

I could really use assistance with this.

Answer 1

Turns out, that I had to upgrade the Web App's VM, from free to standard. Now when I run a query, it's showing the Microsoft.Insights/diagnosticsettings/write.

So I'm good on this.
