Make sure that you are setting a connection string named AzureWebJobsDashboard

See original GitHub issue

WebJobsDashboard is being deprecated. Nowhere in my code I’ve configured it, yet get the following errors when reviewring webjob execution in Kudu SCM portal:

Make sure that you are setting a connection string named `AzureWebJobsDashboard`

in your Microsoft Azure Website configuration by using the following format `DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=NAME;AccountKey=KEY` pointing to the Microsoft Azure Storage account where the Microsoft Azure WebJobs Runtime logs are stored.

Please visit the article about configuring connection strings for more information on how you can configure connection strings in your Microsoft Azure Website.

The configuration is not properly set for the Microsoft Azure WebJobs Dashboard.

In your Microsoft Azure Website configuration you must set a connection string named `AzureWebJobsDashboard` by using the following format `DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=NAME;AccountKey=KEY` pointing to the Microsoft Azure Storage account where the Microsoft Azure WebJobs Runtime logs are stored.

Please visit the article about configuring connection strings for more information on how you can configure connection strings in your Microsoft Azure Website.

I’ve tried to set up ConnectionStrings:AzureWebJobsDashboard with the connection string, but that doesn’t work.

Why is AzureWebJobsDashboard required when no call to .AddDashboardLogging() is made?
Where’s can I find documentation on what needs to take place?
