Can I download data collected by Azure Application Insights (event list)?

Question

Viewing Insight application event logs in a browser on the .azure.com portal is extremely impractical. I want to download these logs, such as an Excel file.

Actually there is an “Export” button, but it does this: it shows how many times one event has been fired, and there is no information about the event.

Answer 1

You can continuously export data to the Azure data warehouse, as described in this part of the documentation: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-insights-export-telemetry/

From there, you can do whatever you want with this captured data: download it, request it from Azure HDInsight, Azure Data Lake Analytics, web work in the Azure web application, etc.
