Nowadays, the question and the accepted answer are outdated. The contemporary approach is to add Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.AspNet NuGet package, which has logging out-of-the-box.

The gist from the docs:

1. ApplicationInsightsLoggerProvider is enabled by default.
2. Captured log types can be configured in appsettings.json (or programmatically if you really need it)

    "Logging": {
        "LogLevel": {
            "Default": "Warning"
        },
        "ApplicationInsights": {
            "LogLevel": {
                "Default": "Error"
            }
        }
    }
