# Azurerm Provider configuration
provider "azurerm" {
  features {}
}

module "application-insights" {
  source  = "kumarvna/application-insights/azurerm"
  version = "1.0.0"

  # By default, this module will not create a resource group. Location will be same as existing RG.
  # proivde a name to use an existing resource group, specify the existing resource group name, 
  resource_group_name = "rg-shared-westeurope-01"

application_insights_config - Application Insights Settings

application_insights_config block helps you setup the application environment and accept following Keys

Name	Description
name	Specifies the name of the Application Insights component
application_type	Specifies the type of Application Insights to create. Valid values are ios for iOS, java for Java web, MobileCenter for App Center, Node.JS for Node.js, other for General, phone for Windows Phone, store for Windows Store and web for ASP.NET. Please note these values are case sensitive; unmatched values are treated as ASP.NET by Azure. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.
daily_data_cap_in_gb	Specifies the Application Insights component daily data volume cap in GB.
daily_data_cap_notifications_disabled	Specifies if a notification email will be send when the daily data volume cap is met. Defaults to false
retention_in_days	Specifies the retention period in days. Possible values are 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 270, 365, 550 or 730. Defaults to 90.
sampling_percentage	Specifies the percentage of the data produced by the monitored application that is sampled for Application Insights telemetry. Defaults to 100.
disable_ip_masking	By default the real client ip is masked as 0.0.0.0 in the logs. Use this argument to disable masking and log the real client ip. Defaults to false.

Recommended naming and tagging conventions

Applying tags to your Azure resources, resource groups, and subscriptions to logically organize them into a taxonomy. Each tag consists of a name and a value pair. For example, you can apply the name Environment and the value Production to all the resources in production. For recommendations on how to implement a tagging strategy, see Resource naming and tagging decision guide.

[IMPORTANT] Tag names are case-insensitive for operations. A tag with a tag name, regardless of the casing, is updated or retrieved. However, the resource provider might keep the casing you provide for the tag name. You'll see that casing in cost reports. Tag values are case-sensitive.

An effective naming convention assembles resource names by using important resource information as parts of a resource's name. For example, using these recommended naming conventions, a public IP resource for a production SharePoint workload is named like this: pip-sharepoint-prod-westus-001.
