Deployment and Log Stream Issues with Azure Python Function App

Hello Jose Riveaux,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum. 

Q. When I try to deploy the function using a Consumption Plan, I am unable to deploy a Python Function App under that plan? - Python Function Apps cannot run on the traditional Consumption Plan (only on Flex Consumption or Premium/Dedicated plans). 

Solution: Use Flex Consumption (recommended for Python) or Premium Plan (EP1+). If Flex Consumption isn’t available in Brazil South (see next point), deploy to East US or another supported region.  

Q. I am unable to create a Flex Consumption Function App in the Brazil South region - Flex Consumption is region-dependent. Brazil South may not support it yet. 

Workarounds: 

• Deploy to a supported region (e.g., East US, West Europe). 
• Use Premium Plan (EP1) if low latency in Brazil is critical. 
• Check for updates on Azure Updates for Brazil South support. 

Q. After deploying the function using a Flex Consumption Plan in the East US region, I am unable to access the Log Stream of my Azure Function monkai-service - Log Stream fails to load after deployment (common in Flex Consumption). 

Troubleshooting Steps: 

1. Verify Application Insights Integration: 
   • Ensure APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY is set in Configuration > Application settings. 
   • Check if logs appear in Application Insights > Logs. 
2. Enable Detailed Logging: 

• Set these Application Settings: 

ini 

AzureFunctionsJobHost__logging__logLevel__Default = "Debug"  SCM_LOGSTREAM_TIMEOUT = "7200"  # Prevents early disconnects 

• Restart the function app after changes. 

3. Alternative Log Access Methods: 

• Azure CLI: 

sh 

az webapp log tail --name <function-app-name> --resource-group <resource-group> 

• Kudu Console (if on Premium Plan):  Navigate to: 

https://<function-app-name>.scm.azurewebsites.net/DebugConsole 

• Check logs under /home/LogFiles/Application/Functions**.**
