c# - Azure Bot logging

Question

I have a Bot configured for Teams and hosted in Azure. I have a couple of graph api requests sent from the Bot. I would like to log the time between request, response, and other related exceptions thrown. Where is this log best kept for an Azure hosted Bot?

Answer 1

This can be done automatically when you choose to integrate Application Insights. See this guide:

Application Insights helps you get actionable insights through application performance management (APM) and instant analytics. Out of the box you get rich performance monitoring, powerful alerting, and easy-to-consume dashboards to help ensure your Bot is available and performing as you expect. You can quickly see if you have a problem, then perform a root cause analysis to find and fix the issue.

You can also keep track of bot messages analytics using Application Insights (source):

Analytics is an extension of Application Insights. Application Insights provides service-level and instrumentation data like traffic, latency, and integrations. Analytics provides conversation-level reporting on user, message, and channel data.
