Imagine you have a Function App that has multiple Functions deployed. It's a common scenario, and depending on how you've built the architecture for the solution, it can come in handy to use Dependency Injection to instantiate a service once when the Function App (host) starts up, and re-use that object across all executions of your Functions inside this Function App. To paint a picture of what this means, I can refer to one of my spare-time project scenarios. I have a Function App on a premium tier with 8 Functions that are a mix between Timer Triggers and Queue…

I have a lot of Azure Functions. Most of them are running on v2 with support for .NET Core 2.2 and netstandard2.0. During the upgrade process of my projects, I stumbled onto this several times across different projects: Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host: Cannot bind parameter 'log' to type ILogger. The full message: [2019-12-17 8:10:32 PM] Error indexing method 'ControlApp' [2019-12-17 8:10:32 PM] Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host: Error indexing method 'ControlApp'. Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host: Cannot bind parameter 'log' to type ILogger. Make sure the parameter Type is supported by the binding. If you're using…
Over the years there's been a plethora of API's and approaches to work with artifacts and resources in Azure. In July this year (2019), Microsoft announced the availability of the new Azure SDK API Standards, which is a new set of SDK's in the following languages: Python, Java, JavaScript and .NET. These SDK's are supposed to be a unified approach to building the SDK's, and whatever goes into one API goes into all of them, so there's no disconnect between capabilities in different programming languages. Now that some Azure services have matured and been adopted into business-critical enterprise applications, we…
A powerful capability of the Azure Sentinel service is that you can ingest data from a wide variety of sources. Using Connectors, you can even ingest data from other places than Azure, and you can get a more complete picture of your security posture across services in your technological landscape. In a previous post I talked about how to ingest Office 365 logs into your Azure Sentinel dashboards. In this post, I'm talking about how we can build our own Azure Log Analytics Data Collector API application to send custom logs to your Log Analytics workspace - and since I'm…
When working with Azure's Application Insights, there's some times where I would've wanted to quickly and programmatically export specific events, search the logs or otherwise pull some data out based on dynamic metrics of applications or monitoring solutions I've set up. In this post we'll take a look at how easy it is to use the Microsoft.Azure.ApplicationInsights NuGet package to utilize .NET Core to retrieve data programmatically from Application Insights. For example, in the Azure Portal I can easily see my Application Insights data on demand and search and filter my logs in the intuitive and simplified UI:…
