Setup data used by Azure Log Analytics with Azure Fucntions

I have questions on setting up data used Azure Log Analytics for Azure Functions.

I cannot see options related to setting up Log Analytics or see information about it within Azure Functions.

But I can open Log Analytics where I can enter query to return data.

I created a Log Analytics Workspace, but am not sure if it is useful for Azure Functions with Log Analytics.

Questions

1 What data is Log Analytics based on by default?

2 Do I need to specify or turn on the logging data Log Analytics is based on?

Put it simply, how to setup for Log Analytics with Azure Functions.

Solution

  • Microsoft recommends Application Insights for monitoring functions.

    But if you persist using Log analytics, you can follow the steps below:

    1.Nav to your log analytics workspace in azure portal.

    2.in the left blade, select Workspace Data Sources -> Azure Resources, then click your azure function there.
