Create AI VSTS widget that supports Analytics queries
Create a VSTS widget that supports Analytics queries. Being able to use Analytics Queries would be really useful. With AIQL, you can create widgets that are targeted, meaningful, and specific to the team.
17 votesThere is no effort on this integration for the foreseeable future, so moving this status to unplanned.

service endpoint
As a financial organisation we need to be able to send information securely to Application Insights to within our own virtual network and not via a public IP. Given Application Insights could potentially contain private and/or confidential data which definitely is not desired to be sent outside of our corporations network. So in order or our team to be able to use the functionality of Application Insights it would be great if we could have the functionality send the information via a service endpoint instead of one of the current public ip addresses.

Add Cloud Role Name to Live Metrics Stream
On the Live Metrics Stream, the list of servers is displayed.
- Allow to list a column called 'cloud role name' next to the server name. This makes it clear which server correlates with which server.
- Allow easy filtering of the entire page by 'cloud role name'.
When multiple roles share a single application insights resource, it an be hard to figure out which server is doing what. Still, it makes sense to log in a single app insights resource in order to have the relation and querying benifits.

Continuous export to Azure Data Lake Store
Application Insights should support continuous export to Azure Data Lake Store the same way as support for continuous export to Blob Storage.
Azure Data Lake Store is the new and "future proof" place to store all raw Big Data that you want to analyze using HD Insights / Azure Data Lake Analytics / Power BI etc.
Attached is a slide from the "Introducing Data Lake" that shows the difference between Data Lake Store and Blob Storage https://mva.microsoft.com/en-US/training-courses/16910

Move dashboard widgets to another dashboard
I am currently building multiple AppInsight dashboards and discovered there is no way to move a widget from one dashboard to another. Also, when looking at a AppInsight Chart and clicking the pin, I can't tell which dashboard it will be pinned to.

Raise the 500,000 row limit on the Azure Log Analytics REST API
https://dev.loganalytics.io/documentation/Using-the-API/Limits currently lists 500,000 as the limit in the number of rows a query can return. It would be helpful if we could raise this limit to make it easier to create PowerBI dashboards which slice and dice historical data, where in aggregate the raw data exceeds 500k rows. In practice this allows the dashboards to look further back in time.
15 votesThanks for the valid suggestion. Your feedback is now open for the user community to upvote & comment on. This 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.

Support for time granularity selected in Azure Portal Dashboard (via bin_auto?)
When adding / pinning an Application Insights or Log Analytics chart to the dashboard, you can use the global time selector on the Dashboard to adjust both the the time range (e.g. past 1 hour, past 7 days) and the granularity (e.g. auto, 5 minutes, 1 hour, etc)
However, that works only for the time range, but not for the granularity.
The reason is that whenever you write a query to render a timechart, you have to hardcode the bin size in the query, e.g.:
requests | summarize count() by bin(timestamp, 1m)
Given the query above, I could now choose the…

Increase Limit on Number of Availability Tests
We have a need to monitor each of our customers, which have a unique URL (such as customer1.example.com, customer2.example.com). We have 170 (and growing) number of customers per a single Application Insights instance. We are trying to programatically create an Availability Test for each customer and are hitting the limit of 100 Availability Tests.
Can this limit be increased? Is there another workaround?

Ability do embed dashboard to third party applications. E.g. CMS. Including Quick Pulse
Many of our clients would love to see the amazing reports we can generate in App Insights from with in their web application e.g. CMS. Although it would be possible to build these dashboards manually using the API, it would be much more feasible to just get an embed code for the metrics graphs ans list created in the Azure Portal.
This should also include the live streaming Quick Pulse.15 votes -
User Flow custom time range support
Currently user cannot set custom time range on User Flow menu and it is difficult to get User Flow for specified interval. (e.g. to get daily report, user has to log-in Azure portal same time every day to get last 24 hours of data. )
Please add custom time range support on user Flow menu.15 votes -
Application Insights: Increase length of message property
Message of logged exception is often cut off. Full data cannot be displayed.
Please increase length of message property to get full data.15 votes -
Push notifications for Smart Detection alerts
The email is usually a low priority tool. When there is a critical problem, I notice it too late (when I take the cell to check the email). I usually recive thousands of emails every day, however, push notifications are much less common and more visible.
15 votesWhile there’s no update to the status of this suggestion, you may find an interim solution for setting up alerts on the Smart Detection preview rules described in this article:

Ability to export all the data of currently selected event to CSV / JSON
When you've selected a particular event, all of it's data is show in the detail tab. Provide an ability to quickly save this as CSV / JSON from the portal for reference.
15 votesWould a URL link and/or an email work for such clients?
Best,

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

Make Smart Detection customizable/configurable
Our team would like to filter out/ stop Smart Detection of certain requests. We regularly get emails for "Abnormal rise in failure request rates", and would like to be able to exclude requests that have certain parameters from this smart detection (for example, if the request has a certain parameter in the URL or a specific header, don't count it towards the alert).

Add search for app in application map
With dozens of roles displaying in the multi-role application map, it is hard to find a specific one. Please add a small search / dropdown window to select an app and upon selection, center the map on this app.

Enable the creation of Annotations in VSTS linux agents
Adding the release annotation task on a Linux agent throws the following error:
[error]A supported task execution handler was not found. This error usually means the task does not carry an implementation that is compatible with your current operating system. Contact the task author for more details.
Write the release task to support Linux or OS agnostic.

Populate client_browser and client_os for requests (not just pageviews)
We're using AI to monitor our Web API and want to analyse the various client applications that connect to it. We'd hoped to use UserAgent - the clients set the User-Agent header, with product, version and OS information.
However, it seems that only telemetry that's marked as a PageView has the UserAgent parsed into 'clientBrowser' and 'clientOS' - any Request telemetry has those properties empty. (Despite the Analytics schema having those properties.)
Are we taking the wrong approach? Or should AI actually be setting these properties for requests?

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,

C++ SDK for server and desktop applications
We'd like to use Application Insights with our native (Win32) server application written in C++, as well as our Win32 desktop application (C++).
Without C++ support we can't build a full stack solution based on Application Insights.
14 votesI’m interested in hearing more about your C++ scenarios. If you have a few minutes to chat, please shoot me an email at mmcc@microsoft.com.
