Enabling GuestAgent Logging #1880

Closed arisettisanjana closed 7 months ago

arisettisanjana commented 7 months ago

Currently only backup initiated extension logs (of only last successful retry of one run) are sent to Kusto -TraceLogMessages. RestorePoint initiated extension job's logs are not available in Kusto. To obtain logs of each extension run, we utilize the event logging feature provided by Guest Agent, push extension telemetry to AzCore Kusto cluster's fa database. So, this feature was previously disabled as we have seen a regression, reactivating the logging functionality through the guest agent by removing the asynchronous programming logic (which still can be triggered based on the config flag) that triggered the event every 10 seconds to capture the logs.
