Centralize log collection with a custom REST API

Use case


Function code

 

using namespace System.Net

# Input bindings are passed in via param block.
param($Request, $TriggerMetadata)

$logtype = $Request.Body.logtype
$logbody = $Request.Body.logbody

$customerId = ""

    $bytesToHash = [Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($stringToHash)
    $keyBytes = [Convert]::FromBase64String($sharedKey)
