Have enabled Azure application insights. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/nodejs

Want to log the output from my express Node JS application:

GET /api/loggedin 304 6.377 ms - -
GET /api/xx 304 31.052 ms - -
hello // a console.log
GET /api/loggedin 304 5.127 ms -

Where can I see the console.log data? Can't find it.

Update:

As per this doc -> in the note section, it mentions that "Note that by default setAutoCollectConsole is configured to exclude calls to console.log (and other console methods)".

So if you want to change this behavior to collect the console log, you should use this line of code: setAutoCollectConsole(true, true)

If you configure your node project correctly, then in the azure portal -> your application insights -> click the "Search" in the left blade:

then set the "Local time", and "Event type", at last click the "Refresh" button:

Or if you know application insights query, you can also click the "Logs(Analytics)" button to write your own log query code:
