Available telemetry

  • Article

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management include robust, out-of-box telemetry capabilities when Application Insights is enabled. These capabilities provide critical insights into various aspects of the system and help customers monitor performance, diagnose issues, and optimize operations. This article provides an overview of the types of telemetry that are available and corresponding resources.

Form run telemetry

Form run telemetry captures detailed information about forms within the application. It provides insights into the following details:

  • The forms that were opened
  • The users who accessed the forms
  • Load times for the forms

Customers can use this data for the following purposes:

  • Analyze average load times, P90s, and other performance metrics to improve the user experience.
  • Identify frequently accessed forms, and optimize them for better usability.
  • Detect patterns in user behavior to enhance form design and navigation.
  • Monitor trends in form usage to prioritize resources and updates effectively.

X++ exceptions

All exceptions that occur in the X++ layer are captured and logged to Application Insights. Customers can use this telemetry for the following purposes:

  • Monitor and diagnose application errors to maintain application stability.
  • Track exception trends over time to identify recurring issues.
  • Prioritize resolution efforts based on the frequency and severity of exceptions.
  • Analyze the impact of exceptions on user operations and workflows.
  • Set up alerts for specific exceptions in critical processes or overall exception trend spikes to ensure timely responses.

Resources

Warehouse telemetry

The warehouse module generates extensive telemetry data. The data offers insights into the following details:

  • Warehouse operations and workflows
  • Performance metrics, so that bottlenecks can be identified and fixed

This telemetry can be visualized by using the Power BI dashboards that are provided.

Resources

DMF errors

Errors from the Data Management Framework (DMF) are logged to the exceptions table in Application Insights. These errors include issues that are encountered during data import and export operations. Customer can use this information for the following purposes:

  • Quickly identify and address integration issues.
  • Monitor the health of data pipelines.
