Enable ContainerLogV2 on AKS

ContainerLogV2 provides additional data over ContainerLog (which is v1). The additional data includes

• ContainerName
• PodName
• PodNamespace

To enable ContainerLogV2 on an existing AKS cluster, you need to create a configmap. Here's how you do this

• Download the template ConfigMap YAML file for ContainerLog
• Set containerlog_schema_version = "v2" in the yaml file
• Update the exclude_namespaces under log_collection_settings.stdout and log_collection_settings.stderr as per your use case
• Save the changes
• Connect to Kubernetes cluster using CLI

kubectx my-cluster

• Run the following command to create the configmap.

kubectl apply -f container-azm-ms-agentconfig.yaml

• Done

I hope this helps. Refer to Container insights log schema and Configure data collection in Container insights using ConfigMap for more insights.
