How to capture console output from Webjob to Log Analytics Workspace

Question

Hello,

We have an App Service that is running a continous Webjob consisting of a .Net framework application. We would like to capture the output seen in Web job console and have it in Log Analytics workspace .
Specifically we want both Kudu messages about the webjob starting/stopping, job directory change detected etc and application standard output to be captured to Log Analytics workspace .

Here are the steps taken so far:

1. We have enabled in Diagnostic settings App Service Console Logs to be sent to Log Analytics workspace. They are both in the same subscription

2.We have set Application logging (Filesystem) to On and Level Verbose

Nothing appears in the Log Analytics workspace. What step might be missing?

Hi Claudiu-Alexandru,

In order to see logs, you also need to enable "App Service logs" (under Monitoring category in the Web App) and set

• Application Logging (Filesystem)" to "On"
• the "Level" to "Verbose"

Then in Log Analytics Workspace, run the following query to verify the application logs:

AppServiceConsoleLogs
| where Resource == "YourAppServiceName"
| sort by TimeGenerated desc
