Monitor an app in Azure Container Apps

Azure Container Apps gathers a broad set of data about your container app and stores it using Log Analytics. This article describes the available logs, and how to write and view logs.

Writing to a log

When you write to the Standard output (stdout) or standard error (stderr) streams, the Container Apps logging agents write logs for each message.

As a message is logged, the following information is gathered in the log table:

Property Remarks
RevisionName
ContainerAppName
ContainerGroupID
ContainerGroupName
ContainerImage
ContainerID The container's unique identifier. You can use this value to help identify container crashes.
Stream Shows whether stdout or stderr is used for logging.
EnvironmentName

Simple text vs structured data

You can log a single text string or line of serialized JSON data. Information is displayed differently depending on what type of data you log.

Data type Description
A single line of text Text appears in the Log_s column.
Serialized JSON Data is parsed by the logging agent and displayed in columns that match the JSON object property names.

Viewing Logs

Data logged via a container app are stored in the ContainerAppConsoleLogs_CL custom table in the Log Analytics workspace. You can view logs through the Azure portal or with the CLI.

Set the name of your resource group and Log Analytics workspace, and then retrieve the LOG_ANALYTICS_WORKSPACE_CLIENT_ID with the following commands.

Bash

RESOURCE_GROUP="my-containerapps"
LOG_ANALYTICS_WORKSPACE="containerapps-logs"

LOG_ANALYTICS_WORKSPACE_CLIENT_ID=`az monitor log-analytics workspace show --query customerId -g $RESOURCE_GROUP -n $LOG_ANALYTICS_WORKSPACE --out tsv`

PowerShell

$RESOURCE_GROUP="my-containerapps"
$LOG_ANALYTICS_WORKSPACE="containerapps-logs"

$LOG_ANALYTICS_WORKSPACE_CLIENT_ID=az monitor log-analytics workspace show --query customerId -g $RESOURCE_GROUP -n $LOG_ANALYTICS_WORKSPACE --out tsv

Use the following CLI command to view logs on the command line.

Bash

az monitor log-analytics query \
  --workspace $LOG_ANALYTICS_WORKSPACE_CLIENT_ID \
  --analytics-query "ContainerAppConsoleLogs_CL | where ContainerAppName_s == 'my-container-app' | project ContainerAppName_s, Log_s, TimeGenerated | take 3" \
  --out table

PowerShell

az monitor log-analytics query `
  --workspace $LOG_ANALYTICS_WORKSPACE_CLIENT_ID `
  --analytics-query "ContainerAppConsoleLogs_CL | where ContainerAppName_s == 'my-container-app' | project ContainerAppName_s, Log_s, TimeGenerated | take 3" `
  --out table

The following output demonstrates the type of response to expect from the CLI command.

ContainerAppName_s    Log_s                 TableName      TimeGenerated
--------------------  --------------------  -------------  ------------------------
