README

Plinth.Logging.NLog.AppInsights

Integration allowing Plinth and NLog to record telemetry and logs to Azure Application Insights

1. Add this to your NLog.config under the `<nlog>` tag

  <extensions>
    <add assembly="Plinth.Logging.NLog.AppInsights" prefix="plinthAI" />
  </extensions>

2. Then create the target

  <targets>
    <target xsi:type="plinthAI.AppInsightsTarget" name="aiTarget">
      <connectionString>{from-Azure-Portal}</connectionString>
      <cloudRoleName>testRole1</cloudRoleName>
      <cloudRoleInstance>serverA</cloudRoleInstance>
      <maxLength>25000</maxLength>
    </target>
  </targets>

👉 Do not wrap this in an async wrapper. It will break the context and metadata.
cloudRoleName and cloudRoleInstance are optional, and will have reasonable defaults if not specified
Cloud Role Name is typically the application name
Cloud Role Instance is typically the machine name
The maxLength field is optional, and defaults to 25000 characters
👉 Using a connection string is preferred. <instrumentationKey> is supported but deprecated and will stop working in March 2025

3. Reference the target in a logger rule

  <rules>
    <logger name="*" minlevel="Debug" writeTo="aiTarget" />
  </rules>

4. Initialize telemetry in Startup

  services.AddPlinthAppInsightsTelemetry(cfg => 
  {
      cfg.CloudRoleName = "MyApp";
      cfg.DisabledPrefixes.Add("/health");
  });

👉 The lambda is optional and only necessary if setting hardcoded configuration

Configurations Options are

ConnectionString: If not setting via environment variable or NLog.config
DisabledPrefixes: A blacklist of url prefixes to disable Request Telemetry. Example: "/favicon.ico"
EnabledPrefixes: A whitelist of url prefixes to enable Request Telemetry. This is null by default. If a list of prefixes is specified, only requests which match will have request telemetry. If there is a conflict between this and DisabledPrefixes, the preference is to disable telemetry.
CaptureSqlCommandText: Set to true to have SQL Dependency Telemetry capture the SQL command text sent to the database. Defaults to false.
CloudRoleName: See next section
CloudRoleInstance: See next section

5. Application Insights Configuration Settings

Values are applied in this order of precedence

Connection String (get this from the Azure Portal)
1. Hardcoded parameter passed in Startup.cs (does not apply to NLog logs)
2. NLog.config <connectionString>
3. Environment variable: APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING
4. (Obsolete): NLog.config <instrumentationKey>
5. (Obsolete): Environment variable APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY
Cloud Role Name
1. Hardcoded parameter passed in Startup.cs (does not apply to NLog logs)
2. NLog.config <cloudRoleName>
3. Environment variable: APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CLOUD_ROLENAME
Cloud Role Instance
1. Hardcoded parameter passed in Startup.cs (does not apply to NLog logs)
2. NLog.config <cloudRoleInstance>
3. Environment variable: APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CLOUD_ROLEINSTANCE
