Add support for Intranet application testing (not just via Internet). E.g., via NTLM
App Insights works great for externally-facing applications. Would like the same rich experience for Internal/Intranet applications.
103 votesWith the release of Azure Functions 2.0, the previously posted template no longer works.
However, we recognize the need for this request, and are actively scoping and prioritizing the work needed to make it happen.
I am very interested in speaking with anyone who needs this feature to learn more about your scenarios, particularly any information around cost issues. If you would like to help me scope this feature, please reach out: mogrobin@microsoft.com.

Track SignalR traffic
Right now, SignalR and WebSockets messages are invisible to AI. Worse yet, they count as a really long HTTP request. It would be nice to have a separate diagram in the Live Metrics Stream blade and everywhere else where successful or failed request are being displayed.
38 votesThanks for your valuable feedback. Could you please share about your scenario which would help us to better understand the scope. We do have other feedback request from customers to ignore few parts with in SignalTraffic . https://feedback.azure.com/forums/357324-application-insights/suggestions/8395065-server-response-time-needs-to-ignore-signalr#{toggle_previous_statuses}.
So want to better understand the two requirements and prioritize it accordingly with our existing feature backlog. Please share additional details on your scenario. Thank you

First class support for Service Fabric
While Service Fabric was in preview there was a nuget package for AI in SF, but seems that it has not gone GA with SF. Would love to see health reports from SF in AI, along with monitoring of services/actors.
15 votesWe’d love to hear how well the preview of Service Fabric AI support is working for you!
Best, Michael

Enable ARM configuration of smart detection rules
Programmatic control over Smart Detection rule settings is needed.
14 votesThank you for posting this suggestion.
While work has not started on this suggestion yet, configuring Smart Detection rules via ARM and integrating with Action Groups are in our plans, and something we’d very much like to add after the current set of priorities are implemented. We’ll keep posting updates here as anything changes.
As for supporting “to define separate rules sets based on resource groups”, could you please clarify on this suggestion? Are you looking to configure Smart Detection rules at the resource group level rather than on the individual Application Insights resource?
Thanks,

Support for on-prem
It would be great to use Application Insights for on-premises scenarios as well.
8 votesHello,
Can you elaborate what specifically is needed? Application Insights can monitor on-prem services. It is really agnostic about where your application is hosted.
Thanks

VueJs Support
Add support for VueJs that supports the entire Analytics feature set. There is an open source one currently, but its pretty basic.
7 votesHi Eric,
Can you clarify what Analytics feature set you are referring to?
Thanks,

Can we have line breaks allowed? The query will be more readable that way.
It is really painful to write a query and go to edit it in Kusto. Could you guys allow line breaks.
3 votesLine breaks are supported today. Can you please provide example for your ask?

Support for changing custom performance counter sample interval in Application Insights
When exploring custom performance counters in Application Insights , the sample interval is by default 1 second, should there be a way to customize this in ApplicationInsights.config?
3 votesPer Sergey’s request:
Please reactivate GitHub issue and tell us what is your specific scenario why you need the collection interval to be shorter giving other characteristics of Application Insights backend. Assumptions is that you need more than just collection interval change and we need to know what.

Deletion of old data/data that was acquired during the testing of app insights integration into the application
Allow deletion of old data via Azure portal--We have accumulated a lot of junk data that was generated while we were testing application insights for our application.
1 voteThanks for reaching out to us and sharing your feedback request. Currently Application Insights have variable retention policy in preview which would allow you to shorten the retention policy less than the default of 90 days. If you see that the retention policy is not catering your needs please reach out to us with additional information on your scenario. Thank you

Add Date-Time Range for Smart Detection Failure Anomalies Analysis Page
When looking at the failure anomalies page, it would be nice to be able to select a date/time range. We've noticed a trend in a specific failure over time, but when looking at the failure anomalies analysis page, we can only see data for the last 12 hours. Being able to go back days or months would allow us to visualize a trend in this request that keeps failing, without losing the Detection Analysis summaries.
1 voteThanks for reaching out to us. Currently both Failure anomalies and Smart Detection features have Time range in the UI based on which the graphs change, Are you referring that feature is not catering your needs. If so, could you please explain you scenario so that we can take your feedback and prioritize with our existing Feature backlog accordingly.

DBMS name to be configured in the Application Insights Configuration
DBMS: The connect string is configured in the portal.azure.net in the Application Insights, that gives me a unique id for me to copy and paste in scm.azurewebsites.net . There by I get that one word string to be used in @ scm.azurewebsites.net for me to connect to DBMS which is a unique connection string encrypted that is only accessible from azurewebsites.net and my development environment by using SID and Application ID data web application, It is just like InstrumentionID, Application Key ID etc.,
1 voteThank you for your valuable feedback, could you please help provide additional details about the scenario you are trying to achieve so we better understand the requirement and this would also help the user community to upvote & comment on. This also allows us to effectively prioritize your request against our existing feature backlog and also gives us insight into the potential impact of implementing the suggested feature.

10K record limit in Analytics.
I am collecting Analytics data by using Continuous Export. The problem I am running into is the 10K record limit in Analytics to run queries against. I need to be able to query at least a months worth at a time.
Do you have tools other than Analytics to work with larger files? Is there a tool that can parse the log files better?1 voteCould we get some more information about what exactly the request is here?
The 10,000 row limit only applies to the amount of data returned by a query – the query still runs over the entire dataset within App Insights. There’s usually some data aggregation that you are looking for, not the raw data itself, and for that you can be using operators. If it’s looking through distinct values or counts thereof, there’s the summarize operator; if it’s filtering down to a particular value of a particular field – there’s “where”; etc. Do note that all these aggregations, filters, etc work across as big a dataset as you throw at them: it is only the final result set where you’re limited to the 10k rows.
If this doesn’t help with your query let us know more specifics as to what you are trying to achieve.
Cheers,

There needs to be a low-latency log display or API
Like all telemetry, logging currently arrives in the form of searchable data only after a significant lag.
That makes the logging unusable for debugging purposes, which is one of the most important use cases for logging.
There needs to be a way to either view incoming log entries in near real-time or there needs to be an API to get at them at near real time.
Alternatively, it should be possible to redirect the events to a message or even queue in near real time.
At the moment, one has to send logging from one's application twice: once to app…
1 voteCan you elaborate on what you can’t achieve using the Application Insights real-time debugging as described at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/application-insights/app-insights-visual-studio?

Please provide documentation
There is need for a good reference documentation (like normal MSDN documentation on the MSDN site), as well as "user guide" documentation and architectural documentation with whitepapers and elaborations on the different ways the framework can be used under different circumstances. For example how to use it in complex solutions with man different systems and platforms involved with different development, testing and production environment, integration with VisualStudio.com and so on.
1 voteThanks for reaching out. It would be great to discuss this with you in more detail. Our primary documentation is at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/application-insights/app-insights-overview and is an ongoing effort. I’d appreciate the chance to discuss this with you.
