Microsoft Application Insights do not show up in Azure console, Fiddler shows 200 response from dc.services.visualstudio.com

Question

I have set up Application insights for one of our apps,

    private TelemetryClient telemetry = new TelemetryClient(new Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Extensibility.TelemetryConfiguration("xxx"));

    protected override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
        telemetry.TrackPageView(new PageViewTelemetry { Name = filterContext?.HttpContext?.Request?.RawUrl });
        ViewBag.CurrentUser = db.GetCurrentUser();
    }

On every page load, it should fire tracking event.

I can see with fiddler that requests are being fired at dc.services.visualstudio.com and that i get 200 responses

but nothing in the azure console

What could be going on, how do I debug this further?

Answer 1

The code you show tracks pageview. Pageviews are not shown in the overview page of the application insigths resource.

Instead, in the left side menu in section Usage there is a menu item Events, try that one. On that page on the bottom there is a button View More Insights, it will show the pageviews.

Alternatively, in the left side menu click Logs (in section Monitoring) and execute a query like this:

pageViews
| order by timestamp desc

Finally, you can use Transaction Search from the left side menu and select Pageviews like this:
