How to send logs to Azure Application Insights using log4net
I recently worked on a .Net application that sends its logs to files on the local file system using the log4Net Framework (see the documentation here). With the objective of improving and centralising logs, we considered sending the logs to an Azure Application Insight. Of course, we can use the App Insight SDK, but to avoid multiplying the code, we decided to extend Log4nNet by using a Log4Net appender dedicated to App Insight. In this post walks you through the steps to configure Log4net with the Application Insights appender and view your logs in the Azure portal.
