title: Azure Application Logging not working for my Web App
body: <p>I'm having trouble getting Azure Application Logging to work with my Web app. I can successfully publish and use my web app. When I go to look at the logs, however, the "application" folder is empty. I can successfully see messages I write to the console in the stdout.log files... but there's never anything in the application folder.</p>
  
  <p>As for what I've tried, I've followed the steps outlined <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-enable-diagnostic-log/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>. It seems pretty straightforward. Configure Azure to turn on Application Logging, write Trace commands in your code, and stuff should get written to the application folder in the logs. I've also tried setting Application Logging (Blob) to on, but I don't see anything written there either.</p>
  
  <p>Below is a screenshot of what I have configured in Azure:</p>

  <p>And here's an example of me writing to Trace in code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class HomeController : Controller
  {
      public IActionResult Index()
      {
          Trace.TraceInformation("At Home");
          return View();
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is using ASP.NET 5/MVC 6. Note that I've tried using TraceWarning and TraceError too without luck. I've also tried turning on ALL the logging options in Azure, but that doesn't seem to do anything either.</p>
