How can I configure Microsoft Insights to store logs

I'm trying to configure Microsoft Insights in an app based in Vue. My idea is to sent specific logs there, with the info that I consider relevant. I've created the resource in Azure and got its instrumentation key. Looking at the documentation we can load this like this

import { ApplicationInsights } from '@microsoft/applicationinsights-web'

const appInsights = new ApplicationInsights({ config: {
  instrumentationKey: 'YOUR_INSTRUMENTATION_KEY_GOES_HERE'
} });
appInsights.loadAppInsights();
appInsights.trackPageView();

My question is, how can I send specific logs? I'm looking for something similar to:

appInsights.log('Info that I want to log');

You can use trackTrace:

appInsights.trackTrace({message: 'Info that I want to log'});

traces are generally used for diagnostic logging. If you want to capture certain business related events you can use trackEvent:

appInsights.trackEvent({
  name: 'some event',
  properties: { // accepts any type
    prop1: 'string',
    prop2: 123.45,
    prop3: { nested: 'objects are okay too' }
  }
});

Custom properties can be included in your telemetry through the properties named argument. This can be done with any of the Track APIs like in the example above.
