Container Instances not sending all logs to Log analytics workspace

Question

Following the official microsoft docs on how to monitor and collect resource logs from Container Instances, i see that only 12 at the time logs are ingested into the log analytics workspace, for example if container instances produced 2 logs they are not ingested until there are 12 logs available.

Any known fixes for this issue?

Hi @Uros Djerman,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

It seems Azure Container Instances batch logs into groups of 12 before sending them to the Log Analytics workspace. If fewer than 12 logs are generated, they won't be ingested until the batch size is met.

Unfortunately, there’s no direct fix for this design choice. You might consider adjusting your logging configuration to reduce batch size or setting up a custom solution for real-time log ingestion.
