可以从控制台应用程序中使用VSO Application Insights吗？

Question

All the information that I can find on Application Insights seems to be targeted at websites / windows store / phone apps. I would like to monitor an Azure webjob, with the first step being able to monitor a command line app. What do I need to do in order to make this work?

Answer 1

To use Application Insights in a Console application,

• Create a new Application Insights resource as described here .

• Use the NuGet package manager reference the Microsoft.ApplicationInsights package in your console application.

• In the beginning of Program.Main , configure Application Insights to use the instrumentation key of your resource.

TelemetryConfiguration.Active.InstrumentationKey = "your key";

• Create instance of TelemetryClient in the application code and call relevant Track methods as described here .

Answer 2

Yes.You could be used Application Insights from a console application.

Technically there is no problem. But after setting everything up you find that no or partial data goes to Application Insights, not the entire data.

For this situation, you need to add thread.sleep at the end of the code.

 public static void Main(string[] args)
    {

        //do your stuff
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(70000);
   }
