 While developing an application, you often want to see what's being written to the logs in near real time when running in Azure.
 
-There are two ways to view a stream of log files being generated by your function executions.

 ## [Live Metrics](#tab/live-metrics)
 
-When your function app is [connected to Application Insights](configure-monitoring.md#enable-application-insights-integration), you can view log data and other metrics in near real-time in the Azure portal using [Live Metrics Stream](/azure/azure-monitor/app/live-stream). Use this method when monitoring functions running on multiple-instances and supports all plan types. This method uses [sampled data](configure-monitoring.md#configure-sampling). _This is the recommended way to view streaming logs._
+When your function app is [connected to Application Insights](configure-monitoring.md#enable-application-insights-integration), you can use [Live Metrics Stream](/azure/azure-monitor/app/live-stream) to view log data and other metrics in near real-time in the Azure portal. Live Metrics stream is *the recommended way to view streaming logs* it supports all plan types and is the method to use when monitoring functions running on multiple-instances. It also uses [sampled data](configure-monitoring.md#configure-sampling), so it can protect you from producing too much data during times of peak loads. 
 
 >[!IMPORTANT]
 >By default, the Live Metrics stream includes logs from all apps connected to a given Application Insights instance. When you have more than one app sending log data, you should [filter your log stream data](/azure/azure-monitor/app/live-stream#filter-by-server-instance).  
 
 ## [Built-in logs](#tab/built-in)
 
-The App Service platform lets you view a stream of your application log files. This is equivalent to the output seen when you debug your functions during [local development](functions-develop-local.md) and when you use the **Test** tab in the portal. All log-based information is displayed. For more information, see [Stream logs](../app-service/troubleshoot-diagnostic-logs.md#stream-logs). This streaming method supports only a single instance, and can't be used with an app running on Linux in a Consumption plan. When your function is scaled to multiple instances, data from other instances isn't shown using this method.
