Can't proceed Application Insights on Static Web App

Question

I'm trying to check a logs in a Static Web App resource. I can see errors from Monitoring > Metrics chart but can't see what are the errors. I read that you can create an Application Insight, but when I accessed Settings > Application Insights, the selects keep loading so I can't go further.

Metrics Chart
Application Insights page (keep loading)

Hi @Schoolblocks
The issue you're facing with Application Insights not loading in your Azure Static Web App is a common one.

The loading issue in the Application Insights settings page could be due to a temporary Azure portal glitch.
Missing configuration for Application Insights in your Static Web App.
Sometimes, caching issues can cause loading problems in the Azure portal. Clear your browser cache or try accessing the portal in an incognito/private window.
1.If the region you've selected is experiencing issues, try switching to a different region temporarily to see if it resolves the loading problem.
2.Visit the Azure Status page to verify if there's any ongoing outage or issues related to Application Insights or Static Web Apps in your region.

3.Check for any resource limitations in your Azure subscription that may prevent the creation of new resources like Application Insights.

Hello @Schoolblocks,

Note: Application Insights is only applicable to Static Web Apps that have at least one function. To enable Application Insights, add a function to your app.

Enabling Application Insights in a Static Web App

To load Application Insights in a Static Web App, add the following environment variable:

• Name: APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY
• Key: <YourInstrumentationKey>

Example configuration In Azure UI:

You can set this using the Azure CLI command below:

az staticwebapp appsettings set -n <StaticWebAppName> --setting-names APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY=<YourInstrumentationKey>

It takes 1(or) 2 min to load.

Hope this helps.
