Should Azure WebJobs logs be visible in Log Stream & Blob Storage after turning on the options in App Service Logs?

I have a .NET solution with two projects:

  • LoggingWebJob
  • LoggingWebSite

The first project is a .NET Core 3.1 Azure WebJob created by using the template in Visual Studio. I am publishing that WebJob to Azure by Visual Studio and its appearing in Azure and showing logs in the WebJobs Dashboard.

The other project is a .NET Core 3.1 MVC App. That is also deployed fine to Azure through Visual Studio.

In Azure I turned on App Service Logs in hope to see Log Stream for both Apps & see the logs in blob storage. I set the level Verbose for both Application FileSystem & Blob. However I am able to see the logs for LoggingWebSite, but not for LoggingWebJob in both filesystem & as files in blob storage.

This is my Program.cs file:

    class Program
    {
        static async Task Main(string[] args)
        {
            var builder = new HostBuilder();
            builder.ConfigureWebJobs(b =>
            {
                b.AddAzureStorageCoreServices();
                b.AddAzureStorage();
            });

            builder.ConfigureLogging((context, b) =>
            {
                b.AddConsole();
                b.add
            });

            var host = builder.Build();
            using (host)
            {
                await host.RunAsync();
            }
        }
    }

This is the function file of the WebJob where logs should be generated:

   public class Functions
    {
        public static void ProcessQueueMessage([QueueTrigger("webjobqueue")] string message, ILogger logger)
        {
            var ts = new TraceSource("Diagoutput");

            ts.TraceEvent(TraceEventType.Verbose, 1, $"ProcessQueueMessage verbose trace {message}");
            ts.TraceEvent(TraceEventType.Information, 1, $"ProcessQueueMessage info trace {message}");
            ts.TraceEvent(TraceEventType.Warning, 1, $"ProcessQueueMessage warn trace {message}");
            ts.TraceEvent(TraceEventType.Error, 1, $"ProcessQueueMessage err trace {message}");
            ts.TraceEvent(TraceEventType.Critical, 1, $"ProcessQueueMessage crit trace {message}");

            logger.LogInformation(message);

            Console.WriteLine($"ProcessQueueMessage Console {message}");
            Console.Error.WriteLine($"ProcessQueueMessage Console Error {message}");
        }
    }

So I am really wondering if Live Log Stream & Logs to blob are supported for WebJobs as part of App Service also? If so, what may be possible reasons for not seeing the logs?

You should use Console Logging rather than App Service Logging in WebJobs. Here is a sample:

using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;

#region snippet_LoggerFactory
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        using var loggerFactory = LoggerFactory.Create(builder =>
        {
            builder
                .AddFilter("Microsoft", LogLevel.Warning)
                .AddFilter("System", LogLevel.Warning)
                .AddFilter("LoggingConsoleApp.Program", LogLevel.Debug)
                .AddConsole()
                .AddEventLog();
        });
        ILogger logger = loggerFactory.CreateLogger<Program>();
        logger.LogInformation("Example log message");
    }
}
#endregion

And see the log file from kudu site: data -> jobs -> {your-job-type} -> {your-job-name}

The log file looks like this: enter image description here
