How to Add LogLevel to Application Insights Logs

Application Insights doesn’t store the original .NET LogLevel (like Debug or Trace) — it only stores SeverityLevel, which combines them. To make your logs easier to filter and analyze, you can add LogLevel as a custom property using a TelemetryInitializer.

Example:

public class LogLevelInitializer : ITelemetryInitializer
{
    public void Initialize(ITelemetry telemetry)
    {
        if (telemetry is TraceTelemetry trace &&
            telemetry is ISupportProperties props &&
            !props.Properties.ContainsKey("LogLevel"))
        {
            props.Properties["LogLevel"] = trace.SeverityLevel switch
            {
                SeverityLevel.Verbose => "TraceOrDebug",
                SeverityLevel.Information => "Information",
                SeverityLevel.Warning => "Warning",
                SeverityLevel.Error => "Error",
                SeverityLevel.Critical => "Critical",
                _ => "Unknown"
            };
        }
    }
}

Integration

Register the initializer in your app:

services.AddSingleton<ITelemetryInitializer, LogLevelInitializer>();

Now, every trace will include a LogLevel key in customDimensions.
