[cliffkoh]

The documentation page at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-monitoring does not mention what the default is...

@cliffkoh Thanks for the feedback! I have assigned the issue to the content author to investigate further and update the document as appropriate.

in this documentation the version 1.x seems to be used. For the version 2.x there is a host.json reference in place: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-host-json#logging

[cliffkoh]

The feedback about the documentation gap was more, in the absence of any manual configuration, what the default logging behavior is...

[ggailey777]

@jeffhollan do you know if we default to debugOnly? It's not entirely clear in the host.json article(s).

[jeffhollan]

Yes we default to debugOnly from what I understand @brettsam to confirm 👍

[brettsam]

fileLoggingMode defaults to debugOnly, yes.

@cliffkoh Is the documentation in the host.json article sufficient?

[ggailey777]

@Karishma-Tiwari-MSFT or @mike-urnun-msft can you also please change the service label to azure-functions/svc? Thanks!

[cliffkoh]

@ggailey777 It is good enough. Not sure if the info was there when I first opened this issue but a possible action item for improvement would just be to link to the defaults from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-host-json#logging

[ggailey777]

Thanks @cliffkoh. Let's #please-close this issue.
