Create Application Insights using Azure Fluent API

Question

Is there a way to specifically create an Application Insights using Azure Fluent API? I see there is a Monitor code sample, but this is not specific to Application Insights.

EDIT: After trying the Azure SDK API from here, I got an error not identified in their documentation.

Answer 1

Currently Fluent API does not support for Application Insights.

It appears the .NET Fluent Azure libraries do not support Application Insight provisioning while the Java SDK does

Same with C# too.

Answer 2

According to Azure SDK API, there is no Application Insight management API currently.

But we could create the Application Insights with following API. For more information, please refer to this.

You could test it directly with [try it].

PUT https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Insights/components/{resourceName}?api-version=2015-05-01

Answer 3

This is an old topic, but apparently Application Insights still isn't part of the Azure Management API yet. I created a class for this, which works a bit like the Fluent API would.

public class AppInsights
{
    public IAzureRestClient azureRestClient { get; private set; }

    public AppInsights(IAzureRestClient client)
    {
        this.azureRestClient = client;
    }

    public Dictionary<string, string> Tags { get; private set; }
    public AppInsights WithTags(Dictionary<string, string> tags)
    {
        this.Tags = tags;
        return this;
    }

    public string Name { get; private set; }
    public AppInsights WithName(string name)
    {
        this.Name = name;
        return this;
    }

    public string SubscriptionId { get; private set; }
    public AppInsights WithSubscriptionId(string id)
    {
        this.SubscriptionId = id;
        return this;
    }

    public IResourceGroup ResourceGroup { get; private set; }
    public AppInsights WithResourceGroup(IResourceGroup group)
    {
        this.ResourceGroup = group;
        return this;
    }

    public string AssociatedApp { get; private set; }
    public AppInsights WithAssociatedApp(string appName)
    {
        this.AssociatedApp = appName;
        return this;
    }

    public AppInsightsComponent Create()
    {
        // initialize tags
        var tags = new Dictionary<string, string>(Tags);
        if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(AssociatedApp))
        {
            // Add a tag to associate the App Insights instance with the app service
            // ARM syntax for this: "[concat('hidden-link:', resourceGroup().id, '/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/', parameters('webSiteName'))]": "Resource",
            tags.Add($"hidden-link:{ResourceGroup.Id}/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/{Name}-portal", "Resource");
        }

        // Create the resource

        var url = $"https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{SubscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{ResourceGroup.Name}/providers/Microsoft.Insights/components/{Name}?api-version=2015-05-01";

        dynamic reqBody = new JObject();
        reqBody.Location = ResourceGroup.RegionName;
        reqBody.Kind = "web";
        reqBody.tags = JObject.FromObject(tags);
        dynamic properties = new JObject();
        properties.ApplicationType = "web";
        properties.FlowType = "Bluefield";
        properties.RequestSource = "rest";
        reqBody.Properties = properties;

        var response = azureRestClient.Put(url, reqBody);
        if (!response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
        {
            throw new HttpRequestException($"management.azure.com returned {response.StatusCode.ToString()}");
        }

        var responseBody = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
        return Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<AppInsightsComponent>(responseBody);

    }
