I am using Azure container app, I'm right at the start of my project and I just want to be able to search for logs outputted by my application. Let's compare the AWS experience to Azure.

AWS

1) Run the app

2) Go to cloud watch, click on the logs, read the logs.

Nice.

Azure

1) Run the app

2) Make sure Log analytics resource exists

3) Do I have to configure anything else? Not sure, carry on.

4) Click on log analytics workspace, read through a bunch of useless queries about resources that do not matter.

5) Try to change the scope to my container app.

6) This breaks it, so I click off, then back into the log workspace, select scope again.

7) Working now, but still showing lot's of queries that are irrelevant to my resource.

8) No matter, I'll go from the tables and work up from there -> no tables exist for my resource

9) Back to query tab to just get something working, nothing works. Every query is broken.

10) Reselect scope to literally anything to get something working.

11) Zero of the pre-set queries work, so why am I being bombarded with them? I just want to look at logs.

12) Return to log stream, finally, some logs, my app is outputting logs, but I can only see live logs.

Is this the normal experience? It should be no more than 3 clicks to see something as simple as console logs from a container app.
