Azure Monitor-Application Insights
Welcome to the Azure Application Insights UserVoice site. This site is for suggestions and ideas for all aspects of Application Insights such as our SDKs, Web tests, Analytics, etc. We look forward to hearing from you!

Show different trace colors based on severity
On the Search blade, all of the Traces are green, whether or not the level is Informational, Warning, Error, etc. It would be nice if you could change it so that Debug was blue, Informational was green, Warning was yellow, Error was red, etc. to make it easier to distinguish the different levels in the list.

Add ability to see related telemetry for dependency calls
We can see related telemetry for requests and exceptions. Allow us to see this for dependecy calls as well. This would make it much easier to investigate slow or failed dependency calls.

Preserve Time Range
When browsing around charts on Azure, they all seem to default to 24-hour time range. I almost always want a 30 minute time range because I'm usually looking at charts when I am trying to diagnose an issue. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that Azure remembers this setting and it seems to be stored separately per blade so I find myself spending a lot of time just switching the granularity.
Ideally, Azure would apply some machine learning and magically figure out what I want and adjust the defaults accordingly. More realistically, I would like to be able to setup a site-wide…

Url for time spans and other filtering
It would be great if it were possible to drill into a particular time range for any of the analytis pages, and then generate a URL to be able to send to someone else ( or yourself ) which will take you back to that appropriate timespan (and/or any other filters you have in place ).
Or alternatively be able to save these filters as sharable and just have the timespan as a url parameter.

Return Export ID on Application Insights Continuous Export creation
Currently, creating a Continuous Export via the API or Go SDK returns a list of all continuous export configurations on success.
It would be better if it returned only the export configuration just created, or only the Export ID for the configuration just created, so the user knows the Export ID of the new export configuration.
Please see https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/issues/4745 for more details.

gelf Graylog format support for streaming logs to Application Insights
gelf is Graylog Extended Format
There is an official and widely used logging driver for Docker based on gelf see https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/logging/gelf/
This idea would enable sending the log output (console output) of a docker container via gelf to Application Insights (log-aggregation) n a direct fashion.
There exists a custom way to achieve this which is however quite hacky, as blogged at https://lbadri.wordpress.com/2018/03/10/sending-docker-container-logs-to-azure-application-insights-using-gelf-driver/

Export user flow graph as png/jpg/pdf
There should be an option to export the user flow graph to an image or a PDF, so it can be shared with colleagues who don't have and need not have Azure access.

Character encodings supported by Application Insights
It would be nice if it is clarified which character encoding is supported by Application Insights and SDKs.
We may want to send telemetry with application logs via LogBack and AI Appender but the log may have multi-bytes local language characters.5 votes -
Live Stream full screen option for OPS view
have an option to open the live stream monitor full screen for a DEV/OPS monitor screen to see traffic and failures in real time.

Add optional resource group filter to Live Metrics Stream
I would like to narrow my view down to only a single resource group when viewing the Live Metrics Stream. In my case I have similar assets deployed to different resource groups. Seeing them all together is good, but I would also like to see one (resource group's worth) at a time.

Allow auditing of Application Insights activity
Support the ability to audit and view who is using various features in AI, ad hoc queries that are run, what information was viewed, etc. Perhaps feed this information into Azure Activity Logs or similar. This information can then be used for certain auditing scenarios as well as usage and behavior information.

Capture Region of Executing Process as part of analytics data
In the analytics schema, we have fields cloud_RoleName and cloud_RoleInstance. When an application is deployed to multiple regions and each deployment is using a single instrumentation key, it would be useful to split data by the cloud geographic region that processed the telemetry,
e.g. cloud_GeoRegion, to contain data such as 'West Europe', 'West US', 'UK West' etc.
This would apply to any of the schemas, where cloud_RoleName and cloud_RoleInstance are recorded.
5 votesSergey might be able to help you find ways to do this on your own. But we don’t have any plans to do this automatically in the App Insights SDK, given the breadth and telemetry size consequences of that kind of change.

Enable ARM configuration of custom schema (open schema)
We create an AI resource on customers behalf, but haven’t found a way to create a data source in the resource
5 votesThis is still on the backlog as part of an effort at making all aspects of managing App Insights resources possible programmatically but there is not ETA at this point.
Thanks

Capture Screen Resolution is missing
You used to be able to get Screen Resolution by creating a new Session chart and Grouping By "Screen Resolution". This option is no longer there! How can find this info now so it can help me make decisions (please don't let it be send custom events... i need to look at my current historic data)?

Enable more cohort analysis tools in Application Insights
We are using AI for assessing the usage of features using custom events, but better ways of seeing changes in usage over time within Application Insights queries would be beneficial (new chart types and cohort groupings)
5 votesCan you give more examples of the kinds of cohort analysis and visualization tools you’re looking for? If you haven’t already, check out the Cohorts tool (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/application-insights/app-insights-usage-cohorts) and the Retention tool (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/application-insights/app-insights-usage-retention)

Add the ability to define tags when creating VSTS Work Items in Application Insights
By adding the ability of including tags with a Work Item for VSTS in the Application Insights workflow, this will allow teams to have better query granularity with work that is defined by events in Application Insights.
5 votesThere is no effort on this integration for the foreseeable future, so moving this status to unplanned.

- if I have a gain when enabling cdn
- where I should leverage cdn5 votes
