Enable Integration with Application Insights

01 Sign in to the Azure Management Console.

02 Navigate to All resources blade at https://portal.azure.com/#view/HubsExtension/BrowseAll to access all your Microsoft Azure cloud resources.

03 Choose the Azure subscription that you want to access from the Subscription filter box and choose Apply.

04 From the Type filter box, select Function App and choose Apply to list only the Microsoft Azure Function Apps available in the selected subscription.

05 Click on the name (link) of the Azure Function App that you want to examine.

06 In the navigation panel, under Settings, select Application Insights to access the Application Insights integration settings available for the selected Function App.

07 If the Application Insights integration settings are not available, instead the Turn on Application Insights button is displayed, the integration with the Application Insights monitoring service is not enabled, therefore the functions managed with the selected Microsoft Azure Function App are not monitored with Application Insights.

08 Repeat steps no. 5 – 7 for each Azure Function App deployed in the selected Azure subscription.

09 Repeat steps no. 3 – 8 for each subscription created in your Microsoft Azure cloud account.

01 Run functionapp list command (Windows/macOS/Linux) using custom query filters to list the name and the associated resource group for each Azure Function App available in the current subscription:

az functionapp list 
  --output table 
  --query '[*].{name:name, resourceGroup:resourceGroup}'

02 The command output should return the requested Function App names:

Name                      ResourceGroup
----------------------    ------------------------------
cc-main-function-app      cloud-shell-storage-westeurope
cc-project5-function-app  cloud-shell-storage-westeurope

03 Run functionapp config appsettings list command (Windows/macOS/Linux) using the name of the Azure Function App that you want to examine and its associated resource group as the identifier parameters to list the names of the application settings configured for the selected Function App:

az functionapp config appsettings list 
  --name cc-main-function-app 
  --resource-group cloud-shell-storage-westeurope 
  --query '[*].name'

04 The command output should return the requested application configuration information:

[
	"FUNCTIONS_EXTENSION_VERSION",
	"FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME",
	"AzureWebJobsStorage",
	"WEBSITE_CONTENTAZUREFILECONNECTIONSTRING",
	"WEBSITE_CONTENTSHARE"
]

05 Repeat step no. 3 and 4 for each Azure Function App available within the current Azure subscription.

06 Repeat steps no. 1 – 5 for each subscription created in your Microsoft Azure cloud account.

01 Sign in to the Azure Management Console.

02 Navigate to All resources blade at https://portal.azure.com/#view/HubsExtension/BrowseAll to access all your Microsoft Azure cloud resources.

03 Choose the Azure subscription that you want to access from the Subscription filter box and choose Apply.

04 From the Type filter box, select Function App and choose Apply to list only the Microsoft Azure Function Apps available in the selected subscription.

05 Click on the name (link) of the Azure Function App that you want to configure.

06 In the navigation panel, under Settings, select Application Insights to access the Application Insights integration settings available for the selected Function App.

07 Choose Turn on Application Insights, select Create new resource, ensure that the new resource has the appropriate name and location, and choose Apply to enable Application Insights integration for the selected Azure Function App. Once the integration is enabled, your Function App will be connected to a new, auto-created Application Insights resource. The necessary instrumentation key (i.e. "APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY") will be added automatically to Function App settings.

08 Repeat steps no. 5 – 7 for each Azure Function App that you want to configure, deployed in the selected Azure subscription.

09 Repeat steps no. 3 – 8 for each subscription created in your Microsoft Azure cloud account.

01 Run extension add command (Windows/macOS/Linux) to install the Application Insights extension for Azure CLI (the command request does not produce an output):

az extension add -n application-insights

02 Run monitor app-insights component create command (OSX/Linux/UNIX) using the name of the Azure Function App that you want to configure as the identifier parameter to create the Application Insights resource required for integration with Azure Function App:

az monitor app-insights component create 
  --app cc-main-function-ai-resource 
  --location westeurope 
  --kind web 
  --resource-group cloud-shell-storage-westeurope 
  --application-type web 
  --retention-time 120

03 The command output should return the configuration information available for the new Application Insights resource:

{
	"appId": "1234abcd-1234-abcd-1234-abcd1234abcd",
	"applicationId": "cc-main-function-ai-resource",
	"applicationType": "web",

	"publicNetworkAccessForQuery": "Enabled",
	"requestSource": "rest",

	"tags": {},
	"tenantId": "1234abcd-1234-abcd-1234-abcd1234abcd",
	"type": "microsoft.insights/components"
}

04 Run monitor app-insights component connect-function command (OSX/Linux/UNIX) using the name of the Azure Function App that you want to configure as the identifier parameter to connect Application Insights to your Azure Function App (i.e. enable Application Insights integration). The required instrumentation key (i.e. "APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY") will be added automatically to your Function App settings:

az monitor app-insights component connect-function 
  --resource-group cloud-shell-storage-westeurope 
  --app cc-main-function-ai-resource 
  --function cc-main-function-app

05 The command output should return the new application settings configured for the selected Azure Function App:

[
	{
		"name": "APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY",
		"slotSetting": false,
		"value": "1234abcd-1234-abcd-1234-abcd1234abcd"
	},
	{
		"name": "FUNCTIONS_EXTENSION_VERSION",
		"slotSetting": false,
		"value": "~4"
	},
	{
		"name": "FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME",
		"slotSetting": false,
		"value": "python"
	},
	{
		"name": "WEBSITE_CONTENTSHARE",
		"slotSetting": false,
		"value": "cc-main-function-app88fb"
	}
]

06 Repeat steps no. 1 - 5 for each Azure Function App that you want to configure, available within the current subscription.

07 Repeat steps no. 1 – 6 for each subscription created in your Microsoft Azure cloud account.
