We have an Office COM add-in and we want to capture telemetry using AppInsights. We're currently analyzing the feasibility.
The first item we've tried was to capture the host version.
Our prototype sends a JSON object to AppInsights. The JSON looks like
{
"Office":{"Version":"365","Build":"13530.201011"}}
}
and it is sent to AppInsights as a trace (one single call to telemetryClient.TrackTrace );
This way we'll be able to easily add more information as needed about the host application, for example whether it is 32 bit or 64 bit.
Analyzing data is also simple, the following Kusto query easily extracts what we need:
traces
| extend environment=parse_json( message )
| extend officeVersion = tostring( environment.Office.Version )
| summarize cnt = cnt() by officeVersion
| project officeVersion, cnt
We want to pin this Kusto query to the AppInsights dashboard.
How can we do this?
Please try the "pin to dashboard" button in the logs query screen. Note that you should run the query first, then the button will be enabled:

I can write a query in application insights that gives me a percentage as a scalar. I want to create alert if that percentage is > X . How can this be done using log based alerts?
Basically, I have a lot of machines that send telemetry to application insights. Sometimes they log some exceptions. I send MachineName in customDimensions for all the logs. So I can get the names of all the machines that sent logs in last 24 hours. The exceptions are also sent with MachineName in customDimensions. When a particular error is raised by more than X% machines in last 24 hours, I want to raise an alert.
The way to write alert logic is using 'Number of Results' which cannot be used for this since it automatically adds '|count' to the query. The other way is using 'Metric Measurement', which I am guessing should help me raise an alert like this but I'm unable to figure out how.
I can get the total machine count by this query:
let num_machines = traces
| summarize by tostring(customDimensions["MachineName"])
| count;
I can get the number of machines that reported an exception like this:
let num_error_machines = exceptions
| where customDimensions["Message"] contains "ExceptionXRaised"
| summarize by tostring(customDimensions["MachineName"])
| count;
finally, i can get the percentage of machines that raised the issue like this:
print toscalar(num_error_machines)*100/toscalar(num_machines)
I am not sure how to use this result to raise an alert using MetricMeasurement. This needs to be modified somehow to get AggregatedValue and use bin, I am not sure if that is possible / how that query will be.
Sorry for the late reply. I've tested in my side and met many problems indeed.
I found that alert rule doesn't support to monitor the percentage number of the result, it only supports the numbers of query result and Metric measurement. So I think you may give up the percentage and use the num_err_machine like the screenshot below
Pls note, you can't append " ; " at the end of the query or it will give an error like The request had some invalid properties
I am streaming real time tweets using R script and sending it to Power BI using (Streaming data and REST API) to create a live streaming dashboard.
I have to create a tile which shows tweets over time. But the date/time field does not get reflected in the tile, it is just empty.
I'm not sure if I have to change the datatype or format of the field? Below is how the date/time field looks in R.
The streaming dataset is as below:
Below is the tile I created (Shows blank)
If you don't see anything in the tile, probably your dataset doesn't received anything. Try to post some data manually, e.g. from a PowerShell script (place the correct URL):
$endpoint = "https://api.powerbi.com.com/beta/........."
$Time_Stamp = ($Time_Stamp = Get-Date).Datetime
$payload = #{ "date" = $Time_Stamp; "count" = 98.6; "score" = 98.6 }
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri "$endpoint" -Body (ConvertTo-Json #($payload))
Does anything shows up in the tile? As we see from your screenshot, you enabled Historic data analysis. This means that you can create reports with this dataset. Try to make one to show the contents in a table. Is there any rows in this dataset?
UPDATE: Actually, to be sure, copy the sample PowerShell code to post to your dataset and try it. Go to the list of datasets in your workspace, find your one in the list and click on the (i) icon. Then from API Info panel go to PowerShell and copy/paste the code in PowerShell ISE to execute it:
Also, keep in mind that the tile will auto update itself only in a dashboard. You may need to refresh the report to get the up to date data, if you are looking at the tile in a report.
I want to join pageViews that are coming from the AppInsights browser SDK, to the request on the backend. I don't see a foreign key that makes sense, is there one OOTB? or do I need to code something to join them together?
To add context, I am interested in pageView duration by cloudRoleInstance (server), but cloudRoleInstance is only available on requests.
I tried the following, and did not work, I supose the operation IDs are not the same.
pageViews
| join (requests) on operation_Id
You can join by Operation ID (operation_Id).
Here is the query which returns all documents for a particular operation_Id:
union *
| where timestamp > ago(1d)
| where operation_Id == "<operation_id>"
I was interested in exactly the same thing and this is how I ended up solving it:
Set a "cloud_RoleInstance" cookie for each response from the server so that the client javascript would know which role instance sent the last response.
Add a TelemetryInitializer to the client-side Application Insights instance which pulls the RoleInstance cookie and adds it as data to the telemetry collected client-side.
*The reason I did it this way instead of joining on operationId as the other answer says is because operationId seemed to span many requests on the server, sometimes over the course of a half an hour. Maybe that has is because of the way our Single Page Application is set up, but operationId just wasn't working for me.
Code
BaseController.cs::BeginExecute (We have our own BaseController which all other controllers inherit from)
var roleInstanceCookie = requestContext.HttpContext.Response.Cookies.Get("cloud_RoleInstance");
roleInstanceCookie.Value = Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime.RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.Id;
requestContext.HttpContext.Response.Cookies.Set(roleInstanceCookie);
ApplicationInsights.js (This contains our AI snippet that loads AI, currently using version 2.3.1 of the JS SDK)
// ... initialization snippet ...
appInsights.addTelemetryInitializer((envelope) => {
envelope.data.cloud_RoleInstance = getCookie("cloud_RoleInstance");
});
The cloud_RoleInstance will then end up in the customDimensions column of your PageViews in Application Insights
I have data which are stored in 3 different application insights resources, thanks to query across resource feature added last year (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/query-across-resources/) was possible to query those 3 application insights at once with app identifier.
I'm trying to execute this query through app insights REST API : https://dev.applicationinsights.io (app insights REST API) for a very basic need from a static HTML page (no backend)
but without luck
I do suspect that app identifier isn't supported, it is actually the case ? any workaround for my use case (no backend).
Here is an example with the query in the body. My queries are quite complex and have a lot of let statements and therefore passing the query in the body is easier. There are some PowerShell quirks in the example below, but I'll update with a C# example tomorrow.
The let statement in the example below is pretty pointless, it's mostly there to show that you can do complex queries with let expressions etc.
AppId is the Application Insights resource ID - and NOT the instrumentation key. The API key is just a long string and you can create up to 10 of them AFAIK.
You will find both the id and keys under API Access (I've added a screenshot as it's easy to get them confused). When you use the app() function use the app id.
$app1Id = "GUID"
$app2Id = "GUID"
$app1Key = "string"
$app2Key = "string"
# EXAMPLE: "X-Api-Key" = "key1:GUID1,key2:GUID2"
$headers = #{ "X-Api-Key" = "${app1Key}:$app1Id,${app2Key}:$app2Id"; "Content-Type" = "application/json" }
# EXAMPLE: "query" = "union app('GUID1').something, app('GUID2').something | limit 5"
$query = #{"query" = "let days=1d;union app('$app1Id').exceptions,app('$app2Id').exceptions | where timestamp > ago(days)"}
$body = ConvertTo-Json $query | % { [regex]::Unescape($_) }
$result = Invoke-RestMethod "https://api.applicationinsights.io/v1/apps/$app1Id/query" -H $headers -Body $body -Method POST
The query above will return all the exceptions for the two Application insights resources for the last day. You can do a query across 10 resources at the time of writing, 200 requests per 30 seconds or a max of 86,400 requests per day (UTC). Other limits apply if you use ADD.
NOTE: the extra {} in the header is a PowerShell quirk in regards to variables and the use of the colon char, and as you can see in the example you should not bracket the keys in the header :)
Checked with the dev team that owns that service:
You should be able to put the api key in as apiKey1:appId1,apiKey2:appId2 in the api key box and this should work.
the [object ProgressEvent] response is a bug in the explorer that should have really showed you an error.
And as a workaround, you could always do the queries inside the azure portal itself in workbooks for any of the AI resources, or hypothetically also from the analytics portal for any of the AI resources, and those wouldn't require the API key at all, if all you needed was to see the data.
I am trying to get all the structure groups published in a given publication using the PublicationID. I am expecting to get the structure groups with StructureGroupCriteria by passing the Root Structure Group TCM ID but getting page ids (I am expecting SGs).
Now I am trying to loop through the list and get details of each structuregroup. I did not find any API (.net) to get these details and also the API is returning only Pages.
What I have done and working so far using StructureGroupCriteria, returns list of Page IDs instead of SG IDs
PublicationCriteria pubCriteria = new PublicationCriteria(pubID);
// Root StructureGroup TCM ID -- tcm:45-3-4
StructureGroupCriteria sgCriteria = new StructureGroupCriteria("tcm:45-3-4", true);
Criteria allSGsInPub = CriteriaFactory.And(pubCriteria, sgCriteria);
Query allSGs = new Query(allSGsInPub);
string[] sgInfo = allSGs.ExecuteQuery();
Response.Write("Total : " + sgInfo.Length);
foreach (string sgid in sgInfo ) {
// HOW DO I get the Structure Group Details here
//TCMURI sgURI = new TCMURI(sgid);
}
Q # 1 : How to get the all the structuregroups and individual structure group details? (May be something simple, I am not able to find right API).
Q # 2 : How can I get all the structuregroups using ItemTypeCriteria sgCriteria = new ItemTypeCriteria(4); // 4 is SG Item Type .
When I tried this option, the query worked successfully but no results returned. Is this the expected behavior and should we always use StructureGroupCriteria instead of ItemTypeCriteria?
The reason for this approach, I want to avoid using the Root StructureGroup ID which is required with the above code. But at the moment, none of the approaches returning StructureGroup information and I always get Page Information.
Tridion Version: 2011 SP1, .net API.
Note: When I publish I am checking the publish SG info checkbox and published successfully. On Broker DB side, I can see the information on the taxnonomy table as well.
I was playing with Odata service and accidentally I found that I can get all my structure group information from Odata web service.
/cd_webservice/odata.svc/StructureGroups?$filter=PublicationId%20eq%2045
Also, the results are returning child structure groups with a depth parameter.
Just to clarify , using Broker API it is not feasible to get the structure groups (my original question). However, the workaround solution is to use OData Service to get the Structure Groups.
I don't think you will get Structure Groups returned by the Query object.
According to the documentation, when you publish Structure Group information the Structure Group hierarchy is published to the Content Delivery side where it is stored as a taxonomy.
Have you tried using the Taxonomy APIs to get the information you need?
