Azure HTTP Web Server Logs to SQL

If you enable File System Web Server logs for your Azure App Service...

Settings > Diagnostics logs > Web server logging > File System





You'll start to see logs on the file system for your app service here:

(you can find your FTP host and credentials in the publish profile file)

/LogFiles/http/RawLogs




Alternatively, you can see these logs through the Kudu UI:

https://{yourappservicename}.scm.azurewebsites.net/DebugConsole/?shell=powershell



Instead of downloading these one and a time and parsing through them, you can use the following library to assist in loading them into a relational database.

You could even run this as a webjob within your app service.


Get the code here:

**Update: This repo now includes a web project that references the console app as a WebJob.

Hope this helps,
