Clarify dependency between AddAzureWebAppDiagnostics and AddConsole on linux webapps #16095

Closed

Description

@SidShetye

All extension methods referenced here are in C#, .net core 3.0 within Program.cs

It appears that removing logging.AddConsole(); breaks logging.AddAzureWebAppDiagnostics();. One would expect each logger to be independent but from our testing we found that AddAzureWebAppDiagnostics() depends on AddConsole().

Further more, going to the portal UI -> web app -> App Service logs -> Application Logging -> File System (enable) makes the AddAzureWebAppDiagnostics() redundant because linux AppService now automatically saves console logs to the webapp file system.

In addition, the documented folders are wrong on linux. There is no Application folder generated within LogFiles.

I suggest a documentation do-over on the Azure WebApp + Linux + .NET Core 3.x combination.
