Azure Container Apps Environment not setting daprAIConnectionString nor daprAIInstrumentationKey using azure cli or PoweShell

Francisco Tineo Mateo 0

We're deploying an Azure Container Application Environment and trying to setup the Dapr Connection String and Dapr Instrumentation Key. We get the same outcome whether we create using the az cli (version 2.66.0) command, PowerShell or Terraform.

PowerShell command:

New-AzContainerAppManagedEnv `
  -ResourceGroupName "<ResourceGroupName>" `
  -Location "<Location>" `
  -Name "<EnvironmentName>" `
  -DaprAiConnectionString "<DaprAiConnectionString>" `
  -DaprAiInstrumentationKey "<DaprAiInstrumentationKey>" `
  -VnetConfigurationInternal `
  -WorkloadProfile $workloadProfile `
  -VnetConfigurationInfrastructureSubnetId "<InfrastructureSubnetId>"

Azure CLI command:

az containerapp env create `
  -g <ResourceGroupName> `
  -l <Location> `
  -n <EnvironmentName> `
  -w `
  --logs-workspace-id "<LogsWorkspaceId>" `
  -d $APP_INSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING `
  --dapr-instrumentation-key $APP_INSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATION_KEY `
  --internal-only true `
  --logs-destination log-analytics `
  -s "/subscriptions/<SubscriptionId>/resourceGroups/<ResourceGroupName>/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/<VirtualNetworkName>/subnets/<SubnetName>"

Hi @Francisco Tineo Mateo Greetings! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. Thank you for posting this question here.

Looking at the documentation of the latest version of Azure CLI, az containerapp env create command does support a parameter where you can pass in the Application Insights connection string. Please refer the parameter --dapr-connection-string through which you can configure this parameter. Below is a sample command to pass in the connection string.

# Get the Log Analytics workspace customer ID and shared key
WORKSPACE_ID=$(az monitor log-analytics workspace show --resource-group myResourceGroup --workspace-name myWorkspace --query customerId --output tsv)
WORKSPACE_KEY=$(az monitor log-analytics workspace get-shared-keys --resource-group myResourceGroup --workspace-name myWorkspace --query primarySharedKey --output tsv)


# Get the Application Insights connection string
CONNECTION_STRING=$(az monitor app-insights component show --app myAppInsights --resource-group myResourceGroup --query connectionString --output tsv)

# Create a Container Apps environment with the Dapr Application Insights connection string
az containerapp env create --name myContainerAppEnv --resource-group myResourceGroup --logs-workspace-id $WORKSPACE_ID --logs-workspace-key $WORKSPACE_KEY --dapr-connection-string $CONNECTION_STRING

The documentation also states that the parameter --dapr-instrumentation-key has been deprecated. I suppose there is no way through CLI to configure the Instrumentation Key.

Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any additional questions or need further assistance.

Hi LeelaRajeshSayana,

We’ve done exactly like you posted many several times like mentioned in the post, both with azure cli and PowerShell and neither works. We can see the requests pass the parameters, but when the resource is created, the values show as null. We see this behavior for --dapr-connection-string (or -d) and for --logs-workspace-key.

We saw that dapr-instrumentation-key is deprecated in the documentation, but we’ve been passing it as well to see if it applies (no luck).

We were informed that the APIs are setup to return null from the ARM and also show null on the portal as those values are considered secret. We recommended to update the az cli documentation to avoid confusion.
