Application Insights keys

  • Artículo

APPLIES TO: SDK v3

Azure Application Insights displays data about your application in a Microsoft Azure resource. To add telemetry to your bot you need an Azure subscription and an Application Insights resource created for your bot. From this resource, you can obtain the three keys to configure your bot:

  1. Instrumentation key
  2. Application ID
  3. API key

This topic will show you how to create these Application Insights keys.

Note

During the bot creation or registration process, you were given the option to turn Application Insights On or Off. If you had turned it On then your bot already has all the necessary Application Insights keys it needs. However, if you had turned it Off then you can follow the instructions in this topic to help you manually create these keys.

  1. From the Azure portal, under the Monitor section, create a new Application Insights resource (or use an existing one). Portal screen capture of Application Insights listing

  2. From the list of Application Insights resources, click the Application Insight resource you just created.

  3. Click Overview.

  4. Expand the Essentials block and find the Instrumentation Key. Portal screen capture of Overview Portal screen capture of the Instrumentation key

  5. Copy the Instrumentation Key and paste it to the Application Insights Instrumentation Key field of your bot's settings.
