Another of my clients has an application which uses NLog and sooner or later they are going to want to move their logging to Azure Application Insights.
The application consists of a number of Azure websites and some embedded clients. The Azure applications log information to the local file system on each box but the number of boxes is growing so finding and tracing issues is becoming painful.

Two clients to go, one which uses serilog the other has a DIY system which I’m ignoring as long as possible.
