Migrating Azure Application Insights logging in a python project from OpenCensus to OpenTelemetary

I am trying to move from OpenCensus to OpenTelemetry as the former project has been sunsetted and will no longer be supported by Microsoft later next year.

Current code to create log config:

log_config = {
    "version": 1,
    "disable_existing_loggers": True,
        "formatters": {
        "default": {
            "()": "uvicorn.logging.DefaultFormatter",
            "fmt": "%(levelprefix)s [%(thread)d] [%(asctime)s.%(msecs)03d] %(message)s",
            "datefmt": "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S",

        },
    },
    "handlers": {
        "default": {
            "level": "INFO",
            "formatter": "default",
            "class": "logging.StreamHandler",
            "stream": "ext://sys.stderr",
        },
        "azure": {
            "level": "WARNING",
            "class": "opencensus.ext.azure.log_exporter.AzureLogHandler",
            "instrumentation_key": "<appinsights-connection-string>",
        }
    },
    "loggers": {
        "": {"handlers": ["default", "azure"], "level": "INFO"},
    },
}

Current code to apply log config:

import logging
from logging.config import dictConfig
from log_config import log_config


dictConfig(log_config)

The sunsetting article states that:

We are excited to announce that OpenTelemetry has reached feature parity with OpenCensus in C++, .NET, Go, Java, JavaScript, PHP and Python.

So I thought it would be a drop in solution but I can't seem to find and code sample that looks like what I am currently doing. Is there an OpenTelemetry handler that I can use to log to AppInsights or is there another approach I can use? The Microsoft page specifically advises against using the opentelemetry-opencensus-shim.

Use OpenTelemetry to export traces to Azure Application Insights using the AzureMonitorTraceExporter. To log data to Azure Application Insights using OpenTelemetry, you don’t need a specific “handler” like you would in traditional logging.

Reference Used:

• Azure-monitor-opentelemetry-exporter.

• Enable Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry for .NET, Java, Node.js, and Python applications.

import logging
from logging.config import dictConfig

from azure.monitor.opentelemetry.exporter import AzureMonitorTraceExporter
from opentelemetry import trace
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import BatchSpanProcessor

# Initialize OpenTelemetry Tracer Provider
tracer_provider = TracerProvider()

# Replace 'YOUR_CONNECTION_STRING' with your actual Application Insights connection string
connection_string = "YOUR_CONNECTION_STRING"

# Create an Azure Monitor Trace Exporter with the connection string
exporter = AzureMonitorTraceExporter(connection_string=connection_string)

# Create a BatchSpanProcessor and add the exporter
span_processor = BatchSpanProcessor(exporter)
tracer_provider.add_span_processor(span_processor)

# Set the tracer provider
trace.set_tracer_provider(tracer_provider)

# Your logging configuration remains the same
log_config = {
    "version": 1,
    "disable_existing_loggers": True,
    "formatters": {
        "default": {
            "()": "uvicorn.logging.DefaultFormatter",
            "fmt": "%(levelprefix)s [%(thread)d] [%(asctime)s.%(msecs)03d] %(message)s",
            "datefmt": "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S",
        },
    },
    "handlers": {
        "default": {
            "level": "INFO",
            "formatter": "default",
            "class": "logging.StreamHandler",
            "stream": "ext://sys.stderr",
        },
    },
    "loggers": {
        "": {"handlers": ["default"], "level": "INFO"},
    },
}

# Apply the log configuration
dictConfig(log_config)

# Sample log messages
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.info("This is an info message.")
logger.warning("This is a warning message.")

Output:
