Sending logs to Azure Monitor from Python is not working anymore

Question

Is there something happening with Azure Monitor? I know opencensus-ext-azure was deprecated last month.

pip install azure-monitor-opentelemetry==1.6.2

from logging import INFO, getLogger

from azure.monitor.opentelemetry import configure_azure_monitor

configure_azure_monitor(

    connection_string="my-connection-string",

    logger_name="azure_monitor",

)

logger = getLogger("azure_monitor")

logger.setLevel(INFO)

logger.info("test")

Retrying due to server request error:

Hi Giancarlo

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

Check your application can connect to Azure Monitor without problems.

Check that the credentials have the right permissions to send data to Azure Monitor. A 403-error means access is denied.

Check that your connection string is correct and valid.

Ensure the Azure resource you're sending data to has the right permissions, and that your connection string is linked to a valid Azure Monitor or Application Insights resource.

If you are using an agent (like the Azure Monitor Agent), check its status and logs for errors that could show connection issues with Azure services.

Hello, I have the same problem... when I use
configure_azure_monitor with logger_name="my name here" the logs are not sending to azure. Without logger_name parameter it works as expected
