azuremonitorexporter not working with Java app logging

[jay-annapureddy]

Describe the issue you're reporting

Hi,

Issue
I found that this exporter is not working with Java app logging and log4j, could you please help here, is there any way I can send Java app logs to Azure Monitoring ?

Requirement: I am in a need of sending emitted telemetry data from a Java app to Azure monitor.

Details:
I am having a Java app instrumented with otel java agent and then I am using the otelcol-contrib collector azuremonitorexporter to send data to azure monitor

https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/exporter/azuremonitorexporter/v0.60.0/exporter/azuremonitorexporter

Note
I already explored azure application insights java agent but looking for vendor agnostic open telemetry instrumentation and sending data to backend

Looks like there is a severity map that is used to map the incoming log record to an appinsights/azure monitor level

opentelemetry-collector-contrib/exporter/azuremonitorexporter/log_to_envelope.go

Line 26 in 81935cf

var severityLevelMap = map[string]contracts.SeverityLevel{

so, in your case INFO must be Information for the current code to map it properly I guess.

@eedorenko added this feature. Is this a valid mapping? Something is obviously off here

I will look into that
