Unable to see Datadog logs with Serilog.Sinks.Datadog.Logs Version 0.5.4 on Azure Function App

I am learning Azure Function Apps. My function app is a timer trigger that writes logs to datadog. The issue I am facing is related to the version incompatibility.

The below works (I can see logs on Datadog):

<PackageReference Include="Serilog" Version="2.9.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Serilog.Sinks.Datadog.Logs" Version="0.2.0" />

However, I want to use the latest packages and the following does not work:

<PackageReference Include="Serilog" Version="4.2.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Serilog.Sinks.Datadog.Logs" Version="0.5.4" />

Serilog.Sinks.Datadog.Logs version 0.5.4 should be compatible with Serilog >= 2.9.0, and Serilog.Sinks.PeriodicBatching is a transitive dependency for which the correct version is installed.

I can play around with lower versions of Serilog (>= 2.9.0, <4.2.0) to find the right fit for Serilog.Sinks.Datadog.Logs 0.5.4 and vice-versa. Can someone tell me what should be my next steps?

Solution

  • Create .NET 9.0 Isolated Azure function to use Serilog.Sinks.Datadog.Logs version 0.5.4 and Serilog version 4.2.0.

    I have tested the same with .NET 9.0 isolated Azure function and it worked as expected.

    public static class Function1
{
    [Function("MyFunction")]
    public static void Run(
        [TimerTrigger("0 */2 * * * *")] FunctionContext context)
    {
        // Serilog logs
        Log.Information("C# Timer trigger function executed at: {time}", DateTime.Now);
        Log.Information("Time in UTC: {time}", DateTime.UtcNow);
        Log.Information("This is Datadog LOG");

        // ILogger logs
        var logger = context.GetLogger("Function1");
        logger.LogInformation("This is an Azure Functions log message.");
        logger.LogWarning("This is a Warning message");
        logger.LogError("this is a error message");

    }
}

    program.cs:

    var host = new HostBuilder()
    .ConfigureFunctionsWebApplication()
    .ConfigureServices(services =>
    {
        Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
            .WriteTo.DatadogLogs(apiKey: "<DataDog_APIKey>")
            .CreateLogger();
    })
    .Build();

host.Run();

    host.json:

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

    Console Output:
