Add Application Insights in .NET
Prerequisites
- Optimizely Configured Commerce 5.2.2411 or later.
- Application Insights connection string
📘 Note Optimizely does not provide the Application Insights connection string. You or your partner must provide them.
Implement Application Insights
You can add the Application Insights connection string at System > Developer > Application Insights Connection String.
You must restart the site when adding or changing the connection string.
📘 Note This setting is only available for ISC_System and ISC_Implementer user roles.
Customize Application Insights
Below are some ways to customize Application Insights. See Microsoft's documentation for what else you can do.
Although they offer many supported languages, Configured Commerce uses ASP.NET in its base.
Use Extensions to customize data
Your Extensions.dll can define any number of ITelemetryInitializer classes. You can use them to customize data such as RoleName and RoleInstance.
public class CustomTelemetryInitializer : ITelemetryInitializer
{
public void Initialize(ITelemetry telemetry)
{
telemetry.Context.Cloud.RoleName = "CustomRole";
telemetry.Context.Cloud.RoleInstance = "CustomInstance";
}
} See Enable a framework extension for Application Insights JavaScript SDK. For Spire, partners can implement as much of this as needed.
Ensure to match environment keys with C# code. This can be swapped with the JS build constant IS_PRODUCTION to change keys. See Microsoft's applicationinsights-react-js repository for information.
Configure availability
You can configure availability in Application Insights. See Microsoft's documentation on availability tests.
