RequestId should be included in logging template in AzureAppServices

[jbrinkle]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I've added AzureAppService logging to my project with
logging.AddAzureWebAppDiagnostics();
And the output doesn't indicate the request ID which prevents anyone from being able to correlate their log entries together.

Describe the solution you'd like

I want to be able to correlate logs based on the request ID. It appears this project used to support it by allowing an output template to be specified but no longer (see https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/webdev/2017/04/26/asp-net-core-logging/)

Describe alternatives you've considered

I could add Serilog but that feels heavyweight just to change the output template.

The request ID is handle via log scopes but you are correct that the AzureAppServices logger doesn't use those scopes when rendering logs.

This seems like a relatively fundamental aspect of logging - being able to identify which lines come from which request.

Hello,

I'm also interested in a way to correlate the logs with a specific request.

Any recommendation on how to achieve this?

Thank you,
Cosmin

After further digging (reading through issues such as dotnet/runtime#34305) it turns out that if you set

    "AzureAppServicesBlob": {
      "IncludeScopes": true
    }

You then get SpanId:c5e7a1ea259e6d4f, TraceId:75f47b9e6a71924db9d197404ce3013f, ParentId:0000000000000000 out of the box.

I think this will do the trick.
