Use this method when monitoring functions running on multiple-instances and supports all plan types. Live Metrics Stream: when your function app is connected to Application Insights, you can view log data and other metrics in near real-time in the Azure portal using Live Metrics Stream. When your function is scaled to multiple instances, data from other instances isn't shown using this method.

This is equivalent to the output seen when you debug your functions during local development and when you use the Test tab in the portal.
There are two ways to view a stream of log files being generated by your function executions.īuilt-in log streaming: the App Service platform lets you view a stream of your application log files. While developing an application, you often want to see what's being written to the logs in near real time when running in Azure.
