Logging stdout/err from a nodejs azure web-app: Blobs still not supported?

Question

• nodejs apps on azure can log stdout and stderr to the file system (d:\home\logiles\Application)
• The file system logs are automatically disabled after ~ 12 hours
• Logging to blog would be a good alternative
• According to the docs, it is still not supported for nodejs apps

Just wanted to know if that still holds true. I tried to turn ob blob logging in the portal: app => monitoring => diagnostics logs. azure correctly creates folders (named after my app) in my blob container, but contain rather empty csv-files only.

Thanks a lot

Yes, the doc is right, Log to blob storage for nodejs is still not supported as of now.

As a workaround, you can take a look at winston-azure-blob-transport.

Hope it helps.
