Service log events

Batch service logs contain events emitted by the Batch service during the lifetime of an individual Batch resource, such as a pool or task. The Batch service emits the following log events:

• Pool create
• Pool delete start
• Pool delete complete
• Pool resize start
• Pool resize complete
• Pool autoscale
• Task start
• Task complete
• Task fail
• Task schedule fail

Each event emitted by Batch is logged in JSON format. The following example shows the body of a sample pool create event:

{
    "id": "myPool1",
    "displayName": "Production Pool",
    "vmSize": "Standard_F1s",
    "imageType": "VirtualMachineConfiguration",
