Seeing all entries as 'trace' log level in Application Insights logs

[jeanabraham]

Expected behavior

• All logs levels reflected in Azure Application Insights dashboard as it is in the console/stdout logs. 'INFO' shows up as info itemType.
• Correct timestamp as it is in the console/stdout logs.

Actual behavior

Azure Application Insights dashboard:
All log levels (INFO, DEBUG, etc) show up as 'trace' in itemType.

Console logs

14:11:03.524 [restartedMain] INFO  o.a.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol - Initializing ProtocolHandler ["http-nio-8383"]

	<root level="trace">

</configuration>

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Figured out the timestamp issue. Didn't realize there was a 'local time' option for viewing. Just need to figure out why all log entries are showing up with 'trace' itemType.

Hi @jeanabraham! itemType refers to the table that logs are stored in (which is, sort of confusingly, named trace). the level should be in the customDimensions

Thanks @trask. Got it.
