finding which web job is logging what in application logging

Question

I have setup a single Webapp with two webjobs. Both of them are pointing to the same blob container for logging. How are you supposed to tell which webjob is logging what?

For instance, on startup this is what the log file looks like with both jobs in it. I used a different color pen for each.

How can you know which lines go with which jobs? With two this is confusing, with 4 or 5 it seems unmanageable. Before I always kept one webjob per webapp but we are using a lot more and trying to consolidate things a bit smarter. Or so I thought.

Is there a place in the code for each webjob where I can assign a name or ID that is attached to each log entry?

Answer 1

You could specify different webjobs by tid, which is the thread id of the thread that produced the event.

Also, you could use Console.WriteLine("hello") to mark the webjobs.

The below image are produced by two queue trigger webjobs. When message comes in, it will explicit output.
