Application insights - telemetry correlation

Question

Azure application insights instance, incorporated with my web api application.

Now I have records available across request, exception, & dependencies tables but don't know how to correlate the records across these tables? Which column of which table should be considered, to correlate a particular request related records across the other tables. Please clarify.

Answer 1

You can correlate the telemetry using the operation_Id property. If you know the operation_Id of a given request you can perform a search in the logs:

search operation_Id == "b9ca1e2671e1814a8e8a754e7b8578f7"

This will return all telemetry belonging to that request.

For a much more details see the docs.
