Application Insights in Azure Monitor

Using Azure Application Insights, you can ingest telemetry from DocFusion that makes generation, statistical and data metrics available through custom properties. The data can then be visualized using KQL for performance monitoring or tweaking. Note: Telemetry features only apply to on-premises instances of DocFusion and only Azure Monitor is currently supported as instrumentation. 

Configuration

To setup telemetry in Azure, provision your test templates and chains then configure your InsightsConnectionString parameter in the setup Overview for AppInsights using the following format:

InstrumentationKey="<Your-Key>";IngestionEndpoint="<URL>";LiveEndpoint="<URL>"

It may take a few minutes for data to display in the portal. Generation time on the server can be measured using custom availability testing and querying the custom properties.

You can also use the installation parameters file to configure your instrumentation and, to disable availability reporting, use a blank connection string in the InsightsConnectionString parameter.
