The Application Insights Integration allows users to retrieve application insights metrics from specified applications.
Integration level configuration options
Application ID
:: ([]string) ID of the application. This is Application ID from the API Access settings blade in the Azure portal.
Api Key
:: ([]string) The API key which will be generated. See Azure Monitor Log Analytics API Overview for more information.
The integration contains the following data streams:
app_insights
Users can retrieve any application insights metrics and make use of the filters below in order to concentrate on the type of data they want to collect.
Configuration options
Metrics
:: List of different metrics to collect information
id
:: ([]string) IDs of the metrics that's being reported. Usually, the id is descriptive enough to help identify what's measured.
A list of metric names can be entered as well.
Default metrics include a curated selection of requests counters, performance, and service availability. See the Microsoft Azure Metrics web page for a list of the available options.
interval
:: (string) The time interval to use when retrieving metric values. This is an ISO8601 duration.
If interval is omitted, the metric value is aggregated across the entire timespan.
If interval is supplied, the result may adjust the interval to a more appropriate size based on the timespan used for the query.
aggregation
:: ([]string) The aggregation to use when computing the metric values.
To retrieve more than one aggregation at a time, separate them with a comma.
If no aggregation is specified, then the default aggregation for the metric is used.
segment
:: ([]string) The name of the dimension to segment the metric values by.
This dimension must be applicable to the metric you are retrieving.
In this case, the metric data will be segmented in the order the dimensions are listed in the parameter.
top
:: (int) The number of segments to return. This value is only valid when segment is specified.
order_by
:: (string) The aggregation function and direction to sort the segments by.
This value is only valid when segment is specified.
filter
:: (string) An expression used to filter the results.
This value should be a valid OData filter expression where the keys of each clause should be applicable dimensions for the metric you are retrieving.
Example configuration:
- id: ["requests/count", "requests/failed"]
segment: "request/name"
aggregation: ["sum"]
app_state
Will retrieve application related state metrics.
Additional notes about metrics and costs
Costs: Metric queries are charged based on the number of standard API calls. See Azure Monitor pricing for more information.
