Log Analytics not showing any logs

Log Analytics not showing any logs

chetali naigaonkar 1

Hi Team

I am trying to fetch the logs from one of the log file which is generated by the azure pipeline and is present on my azure VM.
I have connected that machine and created log analytics workspace.

when I am trying to execute query, i am not getting any output, even after waiting for a whole day.

Need help!

TIA

Hi there,
Where exactly are these log files?
If they're just plain old text files on your VM the agent won't pick them up until you create a 'flat file reader' configuration for the log analytics agent.
Take a look at the Log Analytics Workspace > Custom Logs configuration.

Hi @chetali naigaonkar ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for the question.

I would request you to check the configuration and the query that you are using to fetch the log. Also please share the query to verify if that is correct.

Kindly check the below Microsoft documentation to understand the steps to setup and fetch the logs,

View and create queries for monitoring and tracking in Azure Monitor logs for Azure Logic Apps

@chetali naigaonkar Thanks for reaching out. Can you share more details on your setup? Are you using logic app to execute the query and pull the logs for the analytics workspace or you are trying to execute the query directly in analytics workspace?

You can collect text files using the MMA or AMA agent. If you don't see any logs it could be a configuration issue...wrong location or invalid parsing. Also, I believe this relies on the file timestamp. The file must be updated regularly.
