We tried using AppInsights agent 3.0.0-PREVIEW.7 to push log4j events for a JavaApplication server to see INFO level logs reported, the events are logged as expected but we are now seeing duplicated entries in the AppInsights traces.

Expected behavior

Server logs appear in the AppInsights dashboard at all levels

Actual behavior

Server logs appear but with a duplicate written for each

To Reproduce

1. Start the java application server using Log4j2 with jvm arg -javaagent applicationinsights-agent-3.0.0-PREVIEW.7.jar
2. Observe that events can be seen duplicated in ApplicationInsights traces

Log4j configuration

We thought this issue might have something to do with having multiple loggers receiving events with additivity="false" but it's been reproducible with a fully stripped back configuration comprising a single Logger and Appender.

<Configuration status="error" name="foo" monitorInterval="300">
  
  <Appenders>
    <RollingFile name="foo" fileName="${env:LOG_DIR:-${sys:app.home:-/tmp}/logs}/foo-server.log"
                 filePattern="$${env:LOG_DIR:-$${sys:app.home:-/tmp}/logs}/foo-server-%d{yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss}{UTC}.log">
      <PatternLayout pattern="%d{ISO8601}{UTC}|%-5p|%t|%c{1.}|$${ctx:CORRELATION_ID:-N/A}|%m%n" charset="UTF-8"/>
      <Policies>
        <OnStartupTriggeringPolicy minSize="1"/>
        <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy interval="86400" modulate="true"/>
        <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="200 MB"/>
      </Policies>
      <DefaultRolloverStrategy>
        <Delete basePath="${env:LOG_DIR:-${sys:app.home:-/tmp}/logs}">
          <IfFileName glob="foo-server-*.log"/>
          <IfAccumulatedFileCount exceeds="26"/>
        </Delete>
      </DefaultRolloverStrategy>
    </RollingFile>
  </Appenders>
  
  <Loggers>
    <Root level="${env:ROOT_LOG_LEVEL:-INFO}">
      <AppenderRef ref="foo"/>
    </Root>
  </Loggers>
  
</Configuration>

Screenshots

Unsure at what point it is events are being duplicated, ingest or egest. I'm monitoring this issue and can follow through on producing any useful debugging on the server side. We had been pushing our logging successfully using com.microsoft.azure:applicationinsights-logging-log4j2:2.6.1 prior.
