Enable IBM MQ tracing in Azure durable function

I am trying to enable MQ client tracing in my Azure durable Function App (.NET 7, Isolated, on Windows), but I have not been very successful so far.

I am using IBMMQDotnetClient 9.3.3.

I have placed a mqclient.ini file in the root of the application, with the following contents:

MQDotnetTraceLevel=2
MQDotnetTracePath=C:home\mq_traces
MQDonetErrorPath=C:home\mq_traces_error

and created both directories on my function app file share in the corresponding storage account. I cannot see any files being created in those directories.

How can I get tracing for this .NET client working inside an Azure function?

Solution

  • You need a Trace stanza, like the following:

    Trace:
   MQDotnetTraceLevel=2
   MQDotnetTracePath=C:home\mq_traces
   MQDonetErrorPath=C:home\mq_traces_error

    This is documented here.
