Describe the bug
az monitor app-insights component connect-webapp
is used to link a web app to an app insights instance. However, as far as I have been able to find, there is not an automated way of turning on app insights in the web app as you can on the Azure Portal:
Related command
az monitor app-insights component connect-webapp
Errors
There are no errors associated, just missing functionality.
Issue script & Debug output
Currently configuring Azure Monitor as follows:
# create log analytics workspace
az monitor log-analytics workspace create `
--name $LogWorkspace `
--resource-group $ResourceGroup
# create app insights
az monitor app-insights component create `
--app $AppInsights `
--location $Location `
--resource-group $ResourceGroup `
--workspace $LogWorkspace
# connect webapp to app insights
az monitor app-insights component connect-webapp `
--app $AppInsights `
--web-app $AppName `
--resource-group $ResourceGroup
I have tried using az webapp config appsettings
to compare the webapp configuration before and after turning on Application Insights.
Adjusting the following configuration values seemed to turn on app insights, but it was not actually receiving telemetry data from my deployed web app:
az webapp config appsettings set `
--name $AppName `
--resource-group $ResourceGroup `
--settings `
ApplicationInsightsAgent_EXTENSION_VERSION=~3 `
XDT_MicrosoftApplicationInsights_Mode=recommended `
APPINSIGHTS_PROFILERFEATURE_VERSION=1.0.0 `
DiagnosticServices_EXTENSION_VERSION=~3 `
APPINSIGHTS_SNAPSHOTFEATURE_VERSION=1.0.0
Expected behavior
One of the following two scenarios:
-
When executing
az monitor app-insights component connect-webapp
, this should subsequently turn on Application Insights if it is not currently. -
An
az webapp
sub-command should allow you to explicitly turn on / off application insights.
