Integrating Azure Functions with Application Insights

Application Insights is an Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) tool that assists with tracking performance, exception monitoring, and also collecting telemetry data of the applications. In order to leverage the features of Application Insights, we need to integrate Azure Functions with Application Insights.

This recipe will focus on integrating Azure Functions with Application Insights.

Getting ready

We created an Application Insights account in the Validating Azure function responsiveness using Application Insights recipe of Chapter 5, Exploring testing tools for Azure functions. Use an existing account or create an account using the following steps. If an Application Insights account was created in the previous recipe, ignore this step:
