Instantly Download Sitecore Logs from Azure Web Apps

I had to troubleshoot an issue and started with logs. Since we are in Azure PaaS, I used Kudu or App Service Explorer to search for recent logs. It was absolutely time-consuming.

AzureTools comes to the rescue. It is a simple .aspx page that can be dropped into CM environments, and download logs in seconds.

Download the recent AzureTools-1.2.0 (It should work with any Sitecore version) –

Download AzureTools

Unzip and drop the AzureTools.aspx in https://[CM_Site]/sitecore/admin folder

Now it’s ready to download logs from App Insights, Azure Search, and Kibana Logs – https://[CM_Site]/sitecore/admin/azuretools.aspx

To pull logs from App Insights, need the Application ID and API Key.

Application ID:

Navigate to the Azure App Insights Resource -> Configure -> API Access.

API Key:

– Create the API Key with Read Telemetry access.

Remember to save the key in notes, you can’t get it after creation!

Now I was excited to download logs –

But then it’s erroring out –

The console is showing the following error –

azuretools.aspx:2082 Refused to connect to ‘https://api.applicationinsights.io/v1/apps/e…ityLevel%2C%20customDimensions.ThreadName%2C%20customDimensions.StackTrace’ because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: “default-src ‘self’ mailto: tel: ‘unsafe-inline’ ‘unsafe-eval'”. Note that ‘connect-src’ was not explicitly set, so ‘default-src’ is used as a fallback.

It made me curious to check the Web.Config – I couldn’t find the content-src node, added the following line.

connect-src ‘self’ ‘unsafe-inline’ ‘unsafe-eval’ https://api.applicationinsights.io;

<location path="sitecore">
<system.webServer>
<httpProtocol>
<customHeaders>

<add name="Content-Security-Policy"
xdt:Locator="Match(name)"
xdt:Transform="SetAttributes"
value="default-src 'self' mailto: tel: 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval'; img-src 'self' data:; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https://fonts.googleapis.com; font-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https://fonts.gstatic.com; upgrade-insecure-requests; block-all-mixed-content;"/>
value="default-src 'self' mailto: tel: 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval'; img-src 'self' data:; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https://fonts.googleapis.com; font-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https://fonts.gstatic.com; connect-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval' https://api.applicationinsights.io; upgrade-insecure-requests; block-all-mixed-content;"/>
</customHeaders>
</httpProtocol>
</system.webServer>
</location>

Now I’m able to pull logs, preview traces, and exceptions.

Utilize the Extended View for more filtered options.

Hope it helps.

Happy Sitecoring!
