Azure Container Apps Logs to Sumo Logic – Diagnostic Settings / Event Hub Configuration Issue

Question

Hello,

I’m trying to send my Azure Container Apps logs to Sumo Logic. My container app is running inside a Container Apps Environment, and I’m trying to understand whether I need to create and configure an Event Hub at the Container App level or at the Container App Environment level.

Based on my understanding, there should be a “Diagnostic settings” option under Monitoring, where we can configure an Event Hub destination. However, I don’t see the Diagnostic settings option under either the Container App or the Container App Environment.

I do see Diagnostic settings available for some other resources in the portal, but I expected this configuration to be available directly on the container/container environment.

Also, I have Contributor access, so I don’t think this is an access/permission issue.

Can you please confirm the correct way to set up Event Hub diagnostics for Container Apps so I can forward logs to Sumo Logic?

Answer 1

To send Azure Container Apps logs to Sumo Logic via Event Hub, you need to configure the Event Hub at the Container App Environment level. The diagnostic settings for Azure Container Apps are indeed available, but they may not be visible if the logs destination is not set to Azure Monitor.

Here are the steps you can follow to configure the Event Hub:

1. Ensure that you have selected Azure Monitor as your logs destination for your Container Apps environment.
2. After setting Azure Monitor as the logs destination, you should be able to see the Diagnostic settings option under the Monitoring section of your Container App Environment.
3. From there, you can add a diagnostic setting and select Stream to an event hub as your destination to forward logs to Sumo Logic.

If you still do not see the Diagnostic settings option, try refreshing the portal or checking if there are any specific configurations or limitations in your Azure subscription that might affect visibility.

Make sure that you have the necessary permissions and that the Event Hub is properly set up to receive logs from Azure Monitor.

It looks like you're trying to send logs from your Azure Container Apps to Sumo Logic but you're having trouble finding the Diagnostic Settings option for your Container App or Container App Environment. Here’s a breakdown of what you can do:

Diagnostic Settings Location: You should be able to configure Diagnostic Settings at the Container App level. To do this:

• Go to your Container App in the Azure portal.
  • Select Monitoring and then Diagnostic settings.
    • If you’ve just configured logs for your Container App Environment to go to Azure Monitor, you might need to refresh the page for this option to show up.
    Creating Diagnostic Settings: Once in the Diagnostic Settings:

        - Click on **Add diagnostic setting**.
        
        
           - Give your setting a name and select the logs/metrics you want under **Metrics**.
        
           
              - Choose **Stream to an event hub** for your Sumo Logic integration.
        
              
                 - Don’t forget to click **Save**!
        
                 
                 **Permissions**: Since you mentioned that you have **Contributor** access, you should have the necessary permissions to set this up. If you continue having issues, verify that there are no restrictions or policies preventing configurations at the resource level.
        
                 
                 **Event Hub Setup**: You will need an Event Hub configured correctly to route logs to Sumo Logic. Make sure it is set up with the right access permissions (Send and Listen) and your configuration matches what Azure needs.
        ```If you’re still not seeing the option or are running into errors, consider these troubleshooting steps:
    
    

• Ensure that all required logs and metrics are enabled.
• Check if you have any policy restrictions affecting resource configurations.
• If you've made any recent changes, a little refresh might be all you need.
