Azure API Management and Application Insights

Continuing the Application Insights topic, on some engagements we propose to leverage Azure API Management in front of Dataverse Custom API’s or Azure Logic Apps or Azure Functions.

Setting up APIM is not that hard, but getting the next level insight on what’s happening via Application Insights can be a bit more tedious (if you don’t use Application Insights every day of the week which is the case for myself 😊).

So, I recently found this Azure API Management Hands on Lab including a chapter on how to setup and configure the Application Insights integration. Have fun with it!

Dataverse Telemetry, what now?

Once you start pouring telemetry data from Dataverse into Application Insights, it’s time to review what’s happening. As we aren’t Application Insights experts, it’s always good to have some pre-defined examples. Well look no further!

The AzureMonitorCommunity created some Alerts, Dashboards, Queries and Workbooks that can get you started. Hereby the direct link towards the Dataverse assets: https://github.com/microsoft/AzureMonitorCommunity/tree/master/Azure%20Services/Dataverse

Besides Dataverse, you’ll find numerous other samples for other Azure services. Happy monitoring!
