When an exception is thrown from webjob, it exits without logging to the application insights. Observed that flushing the logs to application insights takes few minutes, so we are missing the exceptions here. How to handle this?

Also, is there a way to move the message which hit the exception to poison queue automatically without manually inserting that message to poison queue?

I am using latest stable 3.x versions for the 2 NuGet packages: Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs and Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions

Created a host that implemented IHost as below:

I have a requirement to encrypt all messages written to Azure Storage.

I wanted to use Azure Queues to trigger WebJobs so adopted this approach below to encrypting the queue message prior to storing:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/storage-client-side-encryption

This encrypts the message fine on the Queue.

I then wanted to write a WebJob (or even better, an Azure Function)to respond to the Queue message and decrypt it and process it.

Unfortunately the web job always falls over with the exception

System.FormatException: The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character, more than two padding characters, or an illegal character among the padding characters

Does anyone have a way of doing this. I even tried to implement my own CustomQueueProcessFactory like in the example

https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-samples/blob/master/BasicSamples/MiscOperations/CustomQueueProcessorFactory.cs

but Azure WebJob library only invokes it with a CloudQueueMessage wheras I need to encrypt it before then.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
