Fairly new to Umbraco and am using version 8, can anyone help me / push me in the right direction on how to configure Application Insights to work with Umbraco's internal Logging.
I'd like to be able to see all Logs that created pushed through to app insights
Check the configuration of the package and try to 'translate' it to the XML configuration if you need something else, but that should give you a start ;)
Odd - it works for me as per the following on 3.1.0
<!-- The following three keys are from https://our.umbraco.com/forum/umbraco-8/96895-serilog-to-app-insights -->
<add key="serilog:using:ApplicationInsights" value="Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights"/>
<add key="serilog:write-to:ApplicationInsights.telemetryConverter" value="Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights.Sinks.ApplicationInsights.TelemetryConverters.TraceTelemetryConverter, Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights"/>
<add key="serilog:minimum-level:override:Microsoft" value="Warning" />
Hi Sean. Were you able to get this to work? For example, how did you configure the instrumentation key and/or connection string so it knows which appinsights instance to write to?
In case anyone else stumbles over this from Google: I added application insights to an existing Umbraco 8.18 installation, and a combination of solutions worked:
Serilog to App Insights?

To push Umbraco log messages from serilog to App Insights you need to use the correct "sink".
You can find the package for the sink here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights/
And the documentation here: https://github.com/serilog/serilog-sinks-applicationinsights
Hi Sean, were you able to implement this? Can you post some learnings.
You need to install the nuget that Dave said. Then you have to configure it in the '~/config/serilog.user.config' as:
Check the configuration of the package and try to 'translate' it to the XML configuration if you need something else, but that should give you a start ;)
I added the settings to my serilog.user.config and now get the following error:
Invalid cast from 'System.String' to 'Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights.TelemetryConverters.ITelemetryConverter'.
.. Any assistance would be appreciated.
I got this error after upgrading a working version of
Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsightsto v4.0.0- rolling back to3.1.0fixed the issue.This line keeps giving me error: Invalid cast from 'System.String' to 'Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights.TelemetryConverters.ITelemetryConverter'.
Downgrading the version to 3.1.0 but nothing happens.

Using the manual installation guide here (automatic didnt work): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/azure-monitor/app/asp-net#add-application-insights-manually
Then Mario Lopez' solution with serilog in the config, and lastly Keith Lawrence with serilog sink version tip (saved me a couple of hours!).
