How can I retrieve the instrumentation key for an Application Insights instance in an Azure Resource Group Template?

Question

Is there any way to retrieve the Instrumentation Key for an Application Insights instance in an Azure Resource Group template ?

I've tried the instructions here to retrieve the list of list* operations available on Azure resources, but Microsoft.Insights/components doesn't appear in the list anywhere. It's making me think that retrieving an Instrumentation Key in the template isn't currently possible

Answer 1

After some digging and experimenting, this is what I found works:

"outputs": {
    "MyAppInsightsInstrumentationKey": {
        "value": "[reference(resourceId('Microsoft.Insights/components', variables('myAppInsightsInstanceName')), '2014-04-01').InstrumentationKey]",
        "type": "string"
    }
}

Answer 2

Instrumentation Key belongs to resource, you can find it in Azure Resource manager template. If you want to find Instrumentation Key, you need to define ResourceType to Microsoft.Insights/components. Try the below code:

$resourcevalue=Get-AzureRmResource -ResourceGroupName Default-ApplicationInsights-*** -ResourceType Microsoft.Insights/components -ResourceName **hdinsights -ApiVersion 2015-05-01 $resourcevalue.Properties.InstrumentationKey

Answer 3

Try it (using azure cli)

az resource show -g $RESOURCE_GROUP -n $APP_INSIGHTS --resource-type "microsoft.insights/components" --query properties.InstrumentationKey

Answer 4

Just so that later I can find this answer ... I built upon @lily-user4045's answer and was able to dump all the properties this way:

$resourceDump=Get-AzureRmResource -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroupName*** -ResourceType Microsoft.Insights/components -ResourceName myResourceName***
