azure-application-insights

I am new to application insights and have set it up using no custom events and I'm using all the defaults. The application is build on MVC 5. In the ApplicationInsights.config there's a comment saying: "When implementing custom user tracking in your application, remove this telemetry initializer to ensure that the number of users is accurately reported to Application Insights." We have a page where you are required to login so the default user logging isn't saying that much and we would much rather have the username being the unique identifier. Based on the comment it seems like this should be

I am trying to configure my azure asp.net website to send log4net traces to Azure Application Insights. I can see in my azure console page views etc, hence I know that is working fine. I can also see log4net traces, when configured with a file handler, but when configuring log4net to use the application insights handler I don't see any log4net entries appear in the application insight dashboard, no errors or warnings at build or run time - just no results in the dashboard. I have looked at the network traffic in Fiddler, and I can see the pageview data etc being sent to application insights,

I'm using Azure Application Insights for a website (Azure App Service). On that I'm using a clustered Umbraco setup and hangfire. These two alone keep hitting the database every minute and are flooding my 'App Insights'. So my question is, how do I disable the Sql Dependency Tracker?

I can see Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.DependencyCollector which is probably responsible, but I don't want to remove all types of dependency telemetry, only sql. Thanks Your best bet here is to use a Telemetry Processor to

Metric is not available neither in metrics explorer, neither in diagnostic statistics. How can I fix it? Thank you in advance. Update 2/5/15 : Custom metrics exposed through

I have an MVC web app, and I'm using Simple Injector for DI. Almost all my code is covered by unit tests. However, now that I've added some telemetry calls in some controllers, I'm having trouble setting up the dependencies. The telemetry calls are for sending metrics to the Microsoft Azure-hosted Application Insights service. The app is not running in Azure, just a server with ISS. The AI portal tells you all kinds of things about your application, including any custom events you send using the telemetry library. As a result, the controller requires an instance of Microsoft
