Unable to send logs to azure application insights when using logback appender for java web project

[deepushri]

I have a java web app (springboot app) where in I want to push the logs to the application insights in azure. I am using logback as my logging framework as it is natively supported by Springboot.
I followed the following blog for the integration of the applicationInsights for my web app.

https://github.com/AzureCAT-GSI/DevCamp/tree/master/HOL/java/06-appinsights

As per this blog I have created the following:

1. created the application insights resource in azure
2. created the filter in my java web app to capture the http requests
3. created ApplicationInsights.xml
4. created logback.xml which will have the AI appender provided by Azure.

here are the snippets from my web app

1. ApplicationInsight filter class is as follows:-

   @configuration

   public class AppInsightsConfig {

    @Bean
    public String telemetryConfig() {
        String telemetryKey = System.getenv("APPLICATION_INSIGHTS_IKEY");
        if (telemetryKey != null) {
            TelemetryConfiguration.getActive().setInstrumentationKey(telemetryKey);
        }
        return telemetryKey;
    }
   
    @Bean
    @Order(1)
    public org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.FilterRegistrationBean aiFilterRegistration() {
        FilterRegistrationBean registration = new FilterRegistrationBean();
        registration.setFilter(new WebRequestTrackingFilter());
        registration.addUrlPatterns("/**");
        registration.setOrder(1);
        return registration;
    } 
   
    @Bean(name = "WebRequestTrackingFilter")
    public Filter WebRequestTrackingFilter() {
        return new WebRequestTrackingFilter();
    }	
   

   }

2. ApplicationInsights.xml (src/main/resources folder)

    <!-- The key from the portal: -->
    
    <InstrumentationKey>my app key</InstrumentationKey>
    
    
    <!-- HTTP request component (not required for bare API) -->
    
    <TelemetryModules>
        <Add type="com.microsoft.applicationinsights.web.extensibility.modules.WebRequestTrackingTelemetryModule"/>
        <Add type="com.microsoft.applicationinsights.web.extensibility.modules.WebSessionTrackingTelemetryModule"/>
        <Add type="com.microsoft.applicationinsights.web.extensibility.modules.WebUserTrackingTelemetryModule"/>
    </TelemetryModules>
    
    <!-- Events correlation (not required for bare API) -->
    <!-- These initializers add context data to each event -->
    
    <TelemetryInitializers>
        <Add   type="com.microsoft.applicationinsights.web.extensibility.initializers.WebOperationIdTelemetryInitializer"/>
        <Add type="com.microsoft.applicationinsights.web.extensibility.initializers.WebOperationNameTelemetryInitializer"/>
        <Add type="com.microsoft.applicationinsights.web.extensibility.initializers.WebSessionTelemetryInitializer"/>
        <Add type="com.microsoft.applicationinsights.web.extensibility.initializers.WebUserTelemetryInitializer"/>
        <Add type="com.microsoft.applicationinsights.web.extensibility.initializers.WebUserAgentTelemetryInitializer"/>
    
    </TelemetryInitializers>
    </ApplicationInsights>  
   

---

3. Logback.xml is as follows:-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <appender name="aiAppender" 
        class="com.microsoft.applicationinsights.logback.ApplicationInsightsAppender">
    </appender>
    <root level="trace">
        <appender-ref ref="aiAppender" />
    </root>

    <logger name="org.springframework.web" level="INFO"/>
</configuration>

The issue is that I am not able to push the logs to the app insights. However I am able to get the telemetries in the app insights.

Note: I am using the latest versions of appinsights libraries (core and web)

@deepushri have you tried if this issue persist with the latest released version of sdk v2.0.0-BETA. I believe that it should have been resolved. Let me know so we can close this issue

@deepushri @kmalhotra2504 we believe this issue has been fixed in all our subsequent releases after 1.0.10. You may try out the latest stable SDK 2.0.1. I am closing this as of now and you can always reopen if the issue persists.
