Descripción
### Expected Behavior
According to the docs, setting context.thread_local_storage.invocation_id
inside a background thread enables log correlation for that thread:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-reference-python#log-custom-telemetry
After calling:
context.thread_local_storage.invocation_id = context.invocation_id
...all logging.info() calls from that thread should appear in Application
Insights correlated to the function invocation (same InvocationId).
### Actual Behavior
On Python 3.13, [THREAD] logs are completely absent from Application Insights.
[MAIN] logs appear correctly. The identical code works on Python 3.12.
Python 3.12 ✅
"Logging from main handler" → appears, InvocationId=37b57bfd-...
"Logging from a background thread" → appears, InvocationId=37b57bfd-...
Python 3.13 ❌
"Logging from main handler" → appears, InvocationId=48b27079-...
"Logging from a background thread" → ABSENT from App Insights entirely
### Steps to Reproduce
1. Deploy Azure Function App with Python 3.13, Azure Functions Runtime v4, Dedicated plan
2. Use the code below (async HTTP trigger + asyncio.to_thread)
3. Trigger the function via HTTP
4. Check Application Insights traces — background thread log is missing
5. Redeploy the same code with Python 3.12 — background thread log appears correctly
### Relevant code being tried
```shell
import azure.functions as func
import logging
import asyncio
app = func.FunctionApp(http_auth_level=func.AuthLevel.ANONYMOUS)
def work(context: func.Context):
context.thread_local_storage.invocation_id = context.invocation_id
logging.info("Logging from a background thread")
@app.route(route="test")
async def test_async(req: func.HttpRequest, context: func.Context) -> func.HttpResponse:
await asyncio.to_thread(work, context)
logging.info("Logging from main handler")
return func.HttpResponse("ok")
```
### Relevant log output
```shell
```
### requirements.txt file
```shell
azure-functions
```
### Where are you facing this problem?
Production Environment (explain below)
### Function app name
_No response_
### Additional Information
Root cause: azure-functions-runtime (used on Python 3.13) has its own separate
threading.local object for log routing. context.thread_local_storage points to
azure-functions-worker's threading.local — a different object that the new
runtime's logging proxy never reads.
Workaround (confirmed working on Python 3.13):
from azure_functions_runtime.utils.executor import invocation_id_cv
def work():
logging.info("Logging from a background thread")
@app.route(route="test")
async def test_async(req, context):
invocation_id_cv.set(context.invocation_id) # copied by asyncio.to_thread
await asyncio.to_thread(work)
asyncio.to_thread copies ContextVars automatically, so the proxy finds the
invocation_id correctly.
Note: invocation_id_cv is an internal API — a public API for this use case
would be appreciated.
Guía de contribución
Línea de trabajo
Comienza reproduciendo el disparador HTTP async con asyncio.to_thread en Python 3.12 y 3.13; después, inspecciona el workaround de invocation_id_cv en azure_functions_runtime.utils.executor y el uso de context.thread_local_storage.invocation_id. Se considera terminado cuando los logs de los hilos en segundo plano aparecen en Application Insights con el mismo InvocationId en Python 3.13 mediante una API compatible.
