Application information that does not display data in the Azure Preview Portal

Question

I have an existing Azure web application with very limited application monitoring (endpoint verification). I thought I would stay in functionality, so I added telemetry to my project following the instructions from http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-insights-start-monitoring-app-health-usage/ . Everything went well, and I was able to make sure that when I loaded the page using JavaScript tools, it did send requests for azure, and I did not return errors either in the error code or in the error array in json's response.

The GUID in the application configuration file looks correct. I also tried sending telemetry manually

private void GatherTelemetry() { var telemetry = new TelemetryClient(); telemetry.TrackEvent("FeedPageLoaded"); } 

While all these actions are displayed in the invoice in visual studio

there is nothing in the portal.

I tried to open the blades again, and also log out and again.

What else can I try?

Answer 1

here's what you need to confirm:

• if you run your application from visual studio, make sure there are events listed as sent from the output window (depending on your screenshot above, it looks good there)

• make sure you use our latest SDK..11 had some violations: see http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudioalm/archive/2014/10/21/application-insights-sdk-0-11-0 -prerelease.aspx

• make sure events are sent to the AI ​​endpoint in the dc.services.visualstudio.com script file (it looks like you're good here)

• go to portal.azure.com and select an overview → applications and select the application for which you are sending data. you can double check by looking at the toolkit key on the property part. another way to return to the portal is through deep links made in the visual studio. on the survey blade, go to the diagnostic search part to see the tail of the latest telemetry events.

• Finally, if you do not see data validation for maintenance problems here: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/status/

I am not 100% sure, but I believe that custom events are not yet included in the diagrams you are looking at. Have you checked if you can find events using the search function?

Answer 3

Custom events will soon appear in the overview blade. At the same time, you can chart a trend in the metric number of events. Just select any chart and open the Metric Explorer, then you can select the Event count metric. This should show you the trend of events posted.
