DxC Azure Application Logs

  • Updated

Azure application logging can greatly reduce the time to diagnose and resolve issues. Below are the steps for accessing those logs for the integration environment. 

Resolution

First, ensure that Azure application logging(blob) is enabled. Please note that enabling this will restart the web application, potentially causing downtime. 


If you have PaaS Portal account you can retrieve logs there. 

  1. Log into the PaaS portal.
  2. Choose the organization and project you are looking to retrieve logging from. 
  3. On the next screen choose the environment, site, and dates for the logs.

Logs can also be downloaded using Azure Storage Explorer but typically only from Integration.

  2. Run Azure Storage Explorer.
  3. When you first start the program you should see an option to add an account. However if you do not, click the plug button.
