Azure Monitor is the native monitoring solution for Microsoft Azure aimed at helping users maximize the availability and performance of the applications. Azure Monitor provides users with full observability into their cloud and on-premise environments, collecting and analyzing data from a variety of sources before storing the information to be later processed (similar to Amazon CloudWatch).

Application Insights is a feature of Azure Monitor, used to monitor your live applications. It will automatically detect performance anomalies, and includes analytics tools to help you diagnose issues.

Using Application Insights

You can create an Application Insights instance when you create your function app. In this case, the instrumentation key required for the integration is already set as an application setting named APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY. If your function app doesn't have the instrumentation key set, you need to enable Application Insights integration.

For example, if you see an error in the monitor, you can use Application Insights to get the complete stack and detail of the error.

Moreover, you can get detailed information if you go through the option "All available telemetry 5 minutes before and after this event"

Check the logs generated by the GeneXus application

With Application Insights integration enabled, telemetry data is sent to your connected Application Insights instance. This data includes logs generated by GeneXus.

Go through Diagnostic Settings in the Azure portal, and add a Diagnostic setting.

Note: In GeneXus, you have to configure the Log output property to "Console Appender" value.

Then you can check the logs, going through the Log Analytics workspace you selected. Then go to the "Logs" option on the left side menu, and run the query over the FunctionAppLogs table.
