Azure Function : How do I write my logs to Azure Application Insights using local debug mode with Azure Functions using Python?

Question

I want to write my logs to the Azure Application Insights but I do not know how to achieve it.
Do I need to update my azure function local.settings.json and host.json file ??
Also, do I need to use call specific function in init.py file to write my logs to Azure Application Insights?
Can you please share some examples to write logs. Please note- I am using python for my Azure function.
Thanks

This is the host.json:

{
    "version": "2.0",
    "logging": {
        "applicationInsights": {
            "samplingSettings": {
                "isEnabled": true,
                "excludedTypes": "Request"
            }
        }
    }
}

This is the official settings:

'applicationInsights.samplingSettings.isEnabled' is to Enables or disables sampling.
