Application insights track metric is not working?

Question

I followed up this question: Application insights for wpf application and created console application, where I am using application insights like this:

var telemetry = new TelemetryClient();
telemetry.TrackEvent("My event");
telemetry.TrackMetric("Test Metric", 13);
telemetry.TrackTrace("Simple log message");
telemetry.TrackException(new Exception());

Everything works and data is sent to Azure, except TrackMetric. Metric is not available neither in metrics explorer, neither in diagnostic statistics.

How can I fix it?

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Update 2/5/15: Custom metrics exposed through trackMetric and the various trackEvent( x, properties, metrics ), or other track calls that take custom properties and metrics should now be visible in both Metrics Explorer and event details blades.

Prior: metrics were only visible in event detail property blades (at the bottom)

Answer 2

@PeterLindström, @Tonven You should be able to now visualize data for custom metrics and properties. Go to this blog to learn more
