App Insights

Overview

The App Insights builder is used to create Application Insights accounts. Use this if you need a standalone AI instance; if you need one for a web app, the web app will create one by default and configure the application settings automatically.

  • Application Insights (Microsoft.Insights/components)

This builder supports both “Classic” (standalone) and “Workspace Enabled” (Log Analytics-backed) instances of App Insights. See the log_analytics_workspace keyword to see how to create the latter type of instance.

log_analytics_workspaceUse a Log Analytics workspace as the backing store for this AI instance. You can supply either a Farmer-generate Log AnalyticsWorkspaceConfig instance that exists in the same resource group, or a fully-qualified Resource ID path to that instance. This will also switch the AI instance over to create a “workspace enabled” AI instance.
