Monitor Azure Logic Apps

Why Monitoring Matters

Effective monitoring helps you understand runtime performance, detect failures early, and maintain SLA compliance for your enterprise workflows.

Built‑in Run History

Every Logic App execution is recorded in the Run History view of the Azure portal.

Open the Logic App resource in the Azure portal.
Select Runs history from the left navigation.
Inspect individual runs to view input, output, and any errors.

Azure Monitor Integration

You can forward Logic App diagnostics to Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights.

Log Analytics

Application Insights

Enable Diagnostic Settings

Navigate to Diagnostic settings in the Logic App resource.
Click Add diagnostic setting.
Select Send to Log Analytics workspace and choose your workspace.
Enable WorkflowRuntime and RunHistory logs.

// Example query in Log Analytics (Kusto)
AzureDiagnostics
| where ResourceProvider == "MICROSOFT.LOGIC"
| summarize count() by StatusCode, bin(TimeGenerated, 5m)
| order by TimeGenerated desc

Connect to Application Insights

Application Insights provides end‑to‑end tracing and performance counters.

Create an Application Insights resource.
In the Logic App, go to Diagnostic settings → Add setting.
Select Send to Application Insights and provide the Instrumentation Key.

// Sample telemetry query
requests
| where cloud_RoleName == "my-logic-app"
| summarize count() by resultCode, bin(timestamp, 1m)

Alert Rules

Set up alerts to be notified of failures, latency spikes, or custom conditions.

Alert Name	Condition	Action
Logic App Failure	Run status = Failed	Email / Webhook
High Latency	Average duration > 5 min (last 30 min)	SMS / Teams

Export Run History as JSON

You can programmatically retrieve run details via REST API.
