TraceWriter logs not getting to analytics
I am trying to set up analytics for a test app:
public void ProcessQueueMessage(
[BlobTrigger("blob-injector/name")] CloudBlockBlob blob,
string name,
[Queue("invoice")] ICollector<string> output,
[Blob("blob-archive/name")] CloudBlockBlob archive,
TraceWriter log)
log.Info($"Started processing name");
string content = blob.DownloadText();
log.Info($"retrieved file nameEnvironment.NewLinecontent");
output.Add(content);
log.Info($"name added to queue");
archive.UploadText(content);
log.Info($"name has been archived");
blob.DeleteIfExists();
log.Info($"Completed processing name");
and I have added an appInsights instance to my azure subscription. I am getting some logging from the App service:

I have Diagnostic logging set to log to blob storage and I can find my logs there. all info I am finding seems to state that what I have is all I should need. Yet I cannot find my logs in Application Insights.
[edit}
This is a .net 4.6.1 WebJob if that is pertinent.
[update]
I have changed it to use a TelemetryClient and I get logs with that.

Which version of Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Logging.ApplicationInsights are you using?

Assume you are using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Logging.ApplicationInsights 2.2.0.
I can see the TraceWriter logs getting to analytics as per the steps/code below:
1.Create a .net framework 4.6.1 webjob
2.In visual studio Nuget Package Manager, installs the following version packages:
Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Logging.ApplicationInsights 2.2.0
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager 4.5.0
Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Console 2.1.1
3.In the app.config file, add the following(for local test):
AzureWebJobsDashboard, AzureWebJobsStorage, APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY
The screenshot looks like below:
4.In your azure web app -> application settings, add AzureWebJobsDashboard and APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY, screenshot looks like below:
5.In the Main() method, add the following code:
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using System.Configuration;
namespace WebJob8
class Program
static void Main()
using (var loggerFactory = new LoggerFactory())
var config = new JobHostConfiguration();
var instrumentationKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY"];
config.DashboardConnectionString = "";
config.LoggerFactory = loggerFactory
.AddApplicationInsights(instrumentationKey, null)
.AddConsole();
if (config.IsDevelopment)
config.UseDevelopmentSettings();
var host = new JobHost(config);
// The following code ensures that the WebJob will be running continuously
host.RunAndBlock();
6.The code in the Functions.cs:
public class Functions
// This function will get triggered/executed when a new message is written
// on an Azure Queue called queue.
public static void ProcessQueueMessage([QueueTrigger("queue")] string message, TraceWriter log)
log.Info("1113 this is a queue message: "+message);
log.Info("1113 it is a test from azure web jobs!!!");
7.Publish web job to azure, run it, and then nav to azure portal -> your application insights -> search, you can see the log messages:

and it also appears in analytics:
Thank you for such a full explanation. I think it is the part in Main linking it all up that I am missing.
