In kql, how can I convert `make-series` in to table? - azure-application-insights

The following query returns the data that I need:
let timeSpn = bin(ago(60m),1m);
requests
| where cloud_RoleName == "myApp"
| where success == "False"
| where timestamp > timeSpn
| make-series count() on timestamp from timeSpn to now() step 1m by application_Version
The problem is that the result consist of 2 lines (one for each application_Version and not 120 lines (one for each minute and for each version).
I have to use make-series and not the simple summarize because I need the "zero" values.

You can do it using the mv-expand operator
Here's an example from Back-fill Missing Dates With Zeros in a Time Chart:
let start=floor(ago(3d), 1d);
let end=floor(now(), 1d);
let interval=5m;
requests
| where timestamp > start
| make-series counter=count() default=0
on timestamp in range(start, end, interval)
| mvexpand timestamp, counter
| project todatetime(timestamp), toint(counter)
| render timechart

Is it possible to iterate over the row values of a column in KQL to feed each value through a function

I am applying the series_decompose_anomalies algorithm to time data coming from multiple meters. Currently, I am using the ADX dashboard feature to feed my meter identifier as a parameter into the algorithm and return my anomalies and scores as a table.
let dt = 3hr;
Table
| where meter_ID == dashboardParameter
| make-series num=avg(value) on timestamp from _startTime to _endTime step dt
| extend (anomalies,score,baseline) = series_decompose_anomalies( num, 3,-1, 'linefit')
| mv-expand timestamp, num, baseline, anomalies, score
| where anomalies ==1
| project dashboardParameter, todatetime(timestamp), toreal(num), toint(anomalies), toreal(score)
I would like to bulk process all my meters in one go and return a table with all anomalies found across them. Is it possible to feed an array as an iterable in KQL or something similar to allow my parameter to change multiple times in a single run?
Simply add by meter_ID to make-series
(and remove | where meter_ID == dashboardParameter)
| make-series num=avg(value) on timestamp from _startTime to _endTime step dt by meter_ID
P.S.
Anomaly can be positive (num > baseline => flag = 1) or negative (num < baseline => flag = -1)
Demo
let _step = 1h;
let _endTime = toscalar(TransformedServerMetrics | summarize max(Timestamp));
let _startTime = _endTime - 12h;
TransformedServerMetrics
| make-series num = avg(Value) on Timestamp from _startTime to _endTime step _step by SQLMetrics
| extend (flag, score, baseline) = series_decompose_anomalies(num , 3,-1, 'linefit')
| mv-expand Timestamp to typeof(datetime), num to typeof(real), flag to typeof(int), score to typeof(real), baseline to typeof(real)
| where flag != 0
SQLMetrics
num
Timestamp
flag
score

KQL, time difference between separate rows in same table

I have Sessions table
Sessions
|Timespan|Name |No|
|12:00:00|Start|1 |
|12:01:00|End |2 |
|12:02:00|Start|3 |
|12:04:00|Start|4 |
|12:04:30|Error|5 |
I need to extract from it duration of each session using KQL (but if you could give me suggestion how I can do it with some other query language it would be also very helpful). But if next row after start is also start, it means session was abandoned and we should ignore it.
Expected result:
|Duration|SessionNo|
|00:01:00| 1 |
|00:00:30| 4 |
You can try something like this:
Sessions
| order by No asc
| extend nextName = next(Name), nextTimestamp = next(timestamp)
| where Name == "Start" and nextName != "Start"
| project Duration = nextTimestamp - timestamp, No
When using the operator order by, you are getting a Serialized row set, which then you can use operators such as next and prev. Basically you are seeking rows with No == "Start" and next(Name) == "End", so this is what I did,
You can find this query running at Kusto Samples open database.
let Sessions = datatable(Timestamp: datetime, Name: string, No: long) [
datetime(12:00:00),"Start",1,
datetime(12:01:00),"End",2,
datetime(12:02:00),"Start",3,
datetime(12:04:00),"Start",4,
datetime(12:04:30),"Error",5
];
Sessions
| order by No asc
| extend Duration = iff(Name != "Start" and prev(Name) == "Start", Timestamp - prev(Timestamp), timespan(null)), SessionNo = prev(No)
| where isnotnull(Duration)
| project Duration, SessionNo

I want to find the day difference between 2 date column in azure app insight?

We have a log file where we store the searches happening on our platform. Now there is a departure date and I want to find the searches where departure date is after 330 days from today.
I am trying to run the query to find the difference between departure date column and logtime(entry time of the event into log). But getting the below error:
Query could not be parsed at 'datetime("departureDate")' on line [5,54]
Token: datetime("departureDate")
Line: 5
Position: 54
Date format of departure date is mm/dd/yyyy and logtime format is typical datetime format of app insight.
Query that I am running is below:
customEvents
| where name == "SearchLog"
| extend departureDate = tostring(customDimensions.departureDate)
| extend logTime = tostring(customDimensions.logTime)
| where datetime_diff('day',datetime("departureDate"),datetime("logTime")) > 200
As suggested I ran the below query but now I am getting 0 results but there is data that satisfy the given criteria.
customEvents
| where name == "SearchLog"
| extend departureDate = tostring(customDimensions.departureDate)
| extend logTime = tostring(customDimensions.logTime)
| where datetime_diff('day',todatetime(departureDate),todatetime(logTime)) > 200
Example:
departureDate
04/09/2020
logTime
8/13/2019 8:45:39 AM -04:00
I also tried the below query to check whether data format is supported or not and it gave correct response.
customEvents
| project datetime_diff('day', datetime('04/30/2020'),datetime('8/13/2019 8:25:51 AM -04:00'))
Please use the below query. Use todatetime statement to convert string to datetime
customEvents
| where name == "SearchLog"
| extend departureDate = tostring(customDimensions.departureDate)
| extend logTime = tostring(customDimensions.logTime)
| where datetime_diff('day',todatetime(departureDate),todatetime(logTime)) > 200
The double quotes inside datetime operator in where clause should be removed.
Your code should look like:
where datetime_diff('day',datetime(departureDate),datetime(logTime)) > 200

Alert on error rate exceeding threshold using Azure Insights and/or Analytics

I'm sending customEvents to Azure Application Insights that look like this:
timestamp | name | customDimensions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2017-06-22T14:10:07.391Z | StatusChange | {"Status":"3000","Id":"49315"}
2017-06-22T14:10:14.699Z | StatusChange | {"Status":"3000","Id":"49315"}
2017-06-22T14:10:15.716Z | StatusChange | {"Status":"2000","Id":"49315"}
2017-06-22T14:10:21.164Z | StatusChange | {"Status":"1000","Id":"41986"}
2017-06-22T14:10:24.994Z | StatusChange | {"Status":"3000","Id":"41986"}
2017-06-22T14:10:25.604Z | StatusChange | {"Status":"2000","Id":"41986"}
2017-06-22T14:10:29.964Z | StatusChange | {"Status":"3000","Id":"54234"}
2017-06-22T14:10:35.192Z | StatusChange | {"Status":"2000","Id":"54234"}
2017-06-22T14:10:35.809Z | StatusChange | {"Status":"3000","Id":"54234"}
2017-06-22T14:10:39.22Z | StatusChange | {"Status":"1000","Id":"74458"}
Assuming that status 3000 is an error status, I'd like to get an alert when a certain percentage of Ids end up in the error status during the past hour.
As far as I know, Insights cannot do this by default, so I would like to try the approach described here to write an Analytics query that could trigger the alert. This is the best I've been able to come up with:
customEvents
| where timestamp > ago(1h)
| extend isError = iff(toint(customDimensions.Status) == 3000, 1, 0)
| summarize failures = sum(isError), successes = sum(1 - isError) by timestamp bin = 1h
| extend ratio = todouble(failures) / todouble(failures+successes)
| extend failure_Percent = ratio * 100
| project iff(failure_Percent < 50, "PASSED", "FAILED")
However, for my alert to work properly, the query should:
Return "PASSED" even if there are no events within the hour (another alert will take care of the absence of events)
Only take into account the final status of each Id within the hour.
As the request is written, if there are no events, the query returns neither "PASSED" nor "FAILED".
It also takes into account any records with Status == 3000, which means that the example above would return "FAILED" (5 out of 10 records have Status 3000), while in reality only 1 out of 4 Ids ended up in error state.
Can someone help me figure out the correct query?
(And optional secondary questions: Has anyone setup a similar alert using Insights? Is this a correct approach?)
As mentioned, since you're only querying on a singe hour your don't need to bin the timestamp, or use it as part of your aggregation at all.
To answer your questions:
The way to overcome no data at all would be to inject a synthetic row into your table which will translate to a success result if no other result is found
If you want your pass/fail criteria to be based on the final status for each ID, then you need to use argmax in your summarize - it will return the status corresponding to maximal timestamp.
So to wrap it all up:
customEvents
| where timestamp > ago(1h)
| extend isError = iff(toint(customDimensions.Status) == 3000, 1, 0)
| summarize argmax(timestamp, isError) by tostring(customDimensions.Id)
| summarize failures = sum(max_timestamp_isError), successes = sum(1 - max_timestamp_isError)
| extend ratio = todouble(failures) / todouble(failures+successes)
| extend failure_Percent = ratio * 100
| project Result = iff(failure_Percent < 50, "PASSED", "FAILED"), IsSynthetic = 0
| union (datatable(Result:string, IsSynthetic:long) ["PASSED", 1])
| top 1 by IsSynthetic asc
| project Result
Regarding the bonus question - you can setup alerting based on Analytics queries using Flow. See here for a related question/answer
I'm presuming that the query returns no rows if you have no data in the hour, because the timestamp bin = 1h (aka bin(timestamp,1h)) doesn't return any bins?
but if you're only querying the last hour, i don't think you need the bin on timestamp at all?
without having your data it's hard to repro exactly but... you could try something like (beware syntax errors):
customEvents
| where timestamp > ago(1h)
| extend isError = iff(toint(customDimensions.Status) == 3000, 1, 0)
| summarize totalCount = count(), failures = countif(isError == 1), successes = countif(isError ==0)
| extend ratio = iff(totalCount == 0, 0, todouble(failures) / todouble(failures+successes))
| extend failure_Percent = ratio * 100
| project iff(failure_Percent < 50, "PASSED", "FAILED")
hypothetically, getting rid of the hour binning should just give you back a single row here of
totalCount = 0, failures = 0, successes = 0, so the math for failure percent should give you back 0 failure ratio, which should get you "PASSED".
without being to try it i'm not sure if that works or still returns you no row if there's no data?
for your second question, you could use something like
let maxTimestamp = toscalar(customEvents where timestamp > ago(1h)
| summarize max(timestamp));
customEvents | where timestamp == maxTimestamp ...
// ... more query here
to get just the row(s) that have that have a timestamp of the last event in the hour?

How to calculate DAU/MAU using Application Insights Analytics?

Assuming I have a definition of a user I can calculate sum of all daily users and all monthly users.
customEvents
| where timestamp > ago(30d)
| where <condition>
| summarize by <user>, bin(timestamp, 1d)
| summarize count() by bin(timestamp, 1d)
| summarize DAU=sum(count_)
customEvents
| where timestamp > ago(30d)
| where <condition>
| summarize by <user>
| MAU=30*count
The question is how to calculate DAU/MAU? Some join magic?
Edit:
There is a much easier way to calculate usage metrics now - "evaluate activity_engagement":
union *
| where timestamp > ago(90d)
| evaluate activity_engagement(user_Id, timestamp, 1d, 28d)
| project timestamp, Dau_Mau=activity_ratio*100
| render timechart
-------
The DAU is really stright forward in Analytics - just use a dcount.
The tricky part of course is calculating the 28-day rolling MAU.
I wrote a post detailing exactly how to calculate stickiness in app analytics a few weeks back - The trick is that you have to use hll() and hll_merge() to calculate the intermediate dcount results for each day, and then merge them together.
The end result looks like this:
let start=ago(60d);
let period=1d;
let RollingDcount = (rolling:timespan)
{
pageViews
| where timestamp > start
| summarize hll(user_Id) by bin(timestamp, period)
| extend periodKey = range(bin(timestamp, period), timestamp+rolling, period)
| mvexpand periodKey
| summarize rollingUsers = dcount_hll(hll_merge(hll_user_Id)) by todatetime(periodKey)
};
RollingDcount(28d)
| join RollingDcount(0d) on periodKey
| where periodKey < now() and periodKey > start + 28d
| project Stickiness = rollingUsers1 *1.0/rollingUsers, periodKey
| render timechart
Looks like this query does it:
let query = customEvents
| where timestamp > datetime("2017-02-01T00:00:00Z") and timestamp < datetime("2017-03-01T00:00:00Z")
| where **<optional condition>**;
let DAU = query
| summarize by **<user>**, bin(timestamp, 1d)
| summarize count() by bin(timestamp, 1d)
| summarize DAU=sum(count_), _id=1;
let MAU = query
| summarize by **<user>**
| summarize MAU=count(), _id=1;
DAU | join (MAU) on _id
| project ["DAU/MAU"] = todouble(DAU)/30/MAU*100, ["Sum DAU"] = DAU, ["MAU"] = MAU
Any suggestions how to calculate it per last few months?
Zaki, your queries calculate a point in time MAU/DAU. If you need a rolling MAU you can use the HLL approach suggested by Asaf. Or the following which is my preferred rolling MAU which is using make-series and fir(). You can play with it hands on using this link to the analytics demo portal.
The two approaches require some time to get used to... and from what I have seen both are blazing fast. One advantage to the make-series and fir() approach is that it is 100% accurate while the HLL approach is heuristic and has some level of error. Another bonus is that it is really easy to configure the level of user engagement that would make the user eligible for the count.
let endtime=endofday(datetime(2017-03-01T00:00:00Z));
let window=60d;
let starttime=endtime-window;
let interval=1d;
let user_bins_to_analyze=28;
let moving_sum_filter=toscalar(range x from 1 to user_bins_to_analyze step 1 | extend v=1 | summarize makelist(v));
let min_activity=1;
customEvents
| where timestamp > starttime
| where customDimensions["sourceapp"]=="ai-loganalyticsui-prod"
| where (name == "Checkout")
| where user_AuthenticatedId <> ""
| make-series UserClicks=count() default=0 on timestamp in range(starttime, endtime-1s, interval) by user_AuthenticatedId
// create a new column containing a sliding sum. Passing 'false' as the last parameter to fir() prevents normalization of the calculation by the size of the window.
| extend RollingUserClicks=fir(UserClicks, moving_sum_filter, false)
| project User_AuthenticatedId=user_AuthenticatedId , RollingUserClicksByDay=zip(timestamp, RollingUserClicks)
| mvexpand RollingUserClicksByDay
| extend Timestamp=todatetime(RollingUserClicksByDay[0])
| extend RollingActiveUsersByDay=iff(toint(RollingUserClicksByDay[1]) >= min_activity, 1, 0)
| summarize sum(RollingActiveUsersByDay) by Timestamp
| where Timestamp > starttime + 28d
| render timechart
