Using LogMetric in an Azure Function 8.0 isolated mode

Question

I have installed Microsoft.Extensions.Logging, but I get following compiler error:

'ILogger' does not contain a definition for 'LogMetric' and no accessible extension method 'LogMetric'.

Any pointers on what to install to be able to log to metrics from an Azure Function App 8.0?

The issue seems to be with your packages and after changing the packages to below, it worked for me:

I have used Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker.ApplicationInsights package.

My packages in csproj:

  <ItemGroup>
    <FrameworkReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.App" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker" Version="1.21.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker.Extensions.Http" Version="3.1.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker.Extensions.Http.AspNetCore" Version="1.2.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker.Sdk" Version="1.17.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.WorkerService" Version="2.22.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker.ApplicationInsights" Version="1.2.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.UserSecrets" Version="8.0.0" />
  </ItemGroup>
  

Function1.cs:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;

namespace FunctionApp182
{
    public class Function1
    {
        private readonly ILogger<Function1> _logger;
        public Function1(ILogger<Function1> logger)
        {
            _logger = logger;
        }
        [Function("Function1")]
        public IActionResult Run([HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Function, "get", "post")] HttpRequest req)
        {
            _logger.LogInformation("Hello Rithwik, Func Started");
            _logger.LogMetric("rithwik", 8);
            return new OkObjectResult("Hello Rithwik, Func Ended");
        }
    }
}

Program.cs:

using Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;

var host = new HostBuilder()
    .ConfigureFunctionsWebApplication()
    .ConfigureServices(services =>
    {
        services.AddApplicationInsightsTelemetryWorkerService();
        services.ConfigureFunctionsApplicationInsights();
    })
    .Build();

host.Run();

Output:

In Application Insights:
