# Azure.ResourceManager.ApplicationInsights (.NET)

Azure Resource Manager SDK for managing Application Insights resources for application performance monitoring.

## Installation

```bash
dotnet add package Azure.ResourceManager.ApplicationInsights
dotnet add package Azure.Identity
```

**Current Version**: v1.0.0 (GA)  
**API Version**: 2022-06-15

## Environment Variables

```bash
AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=<your-subscription-id>
AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP=<your-resource-group>
AZURE_APPINSIGHTS_NAME=<your-appinsights-component>
```

## Authentication

```csharp
using Azure.Identity;
using Azure.ResourceManager;
using Azure.ResourceManager.ApplicationInsights;

ArmClient client = new ArmClient(new DefaultAzureCredential());
```

## Resource Hierarchy

```
Subscription
└── ResourceGroup
    └── ApplicationInsightsComponent          # App Insights resource
        ├── ApplicationInsightsComponentApiKey  # API keys for programmatic access
        ├── ComponentLinkedStorageAccount      # Linked storage for data export
        └── (via component ID)
            ├── WebTest                        # Availability tests
            ├── Workbook                       # Workbooks for analysis
            ├── WorkbookTemplate               # Workbook templates
            └── MyWorkbook                     # Private workbooks
```

## Core Workflows

### 1. Create Application Insights Component (Workspace-based)

```csharp
using Azure.ResourceManager.ApplicationInsights;
using Azure.ResourceManager.ApplicationInsights.Models;

ResourceGroupResource resourceGroup = await client
    .GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync()
    .Result
    .GetResourceGroupAsync("my-resource-group");

ApplicationInsightsComponentCollection components = resourceGroup.GetApplicationInsightsComponents();

// Workspace-based Application Insights (recommended)
ApplicationInsightsComponentData data = new ApplicationInsightsComponentData(
    AzureLocation.EastUS,
    ApplicationInsightsApplicationType.Web)
{
    Kind = "web",
    WorkspaceResourceId = new ResourceIdentifier(
        "/subscriptions/<sub-id>/resourceGroups/<rg>/providers/Microsoft.OperationalInsights/workspaces/<workspace-name>"),
    IngestionMode = IngestionMode.LogAnalytics,
    PublicNetworkAccessForIngestion = PublicNetworkAccessType.Enabled,
    PublicNetworkAccessForQuery = PublicNetworkAccessType.Enabled,
    RetentionInDays = 90,
    SamplingPercentage = 100,
    DisableIPMasking = false,
    ImmediatePurgeDataOn30Days = false,
    Tags =
    {
        { "environment", "production" },
        { "application", "mywebapp" }
    }
};

ArmOperation<ApplicationInsightsComponentResource> operation = await components
    .CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "my-appinsights", data);

ApplicationInsightsComponentResource component = operation.Value;

Console.WriteLine($"Component created: {component.Data.Name}");
Console.WriteLine($"Instrumentation Key: {component.Data.InstrumentationKey}");
Console.WriteLine($"Connection String: {component.Data.ConnectionString}");
```

### 2. Get Connection String and Keys

```csharp
ApplicationInsightsComponentResource component = await resourceGroup
    .GetApplicationInsightsComponentAsync("my-appinsights");

// Get connection string for SDK configuration
string connectionString = component.Data.ConnectionString;
string instrumentationKey = component.Data.InstrumentationKey;
string appId = component.Data.AppId;

Console.WriteLine($"Connection String: {connectionString}");
Console.WriteLine($"Instrumentation Key: {instrumentationKey}");
Console.WriteLine($"App ID: {appId}");
```

### 3. Create API Key

```csharp
ApplicationInsightsComponentResource component = await resourceGroup
    .GetApplicationInsightsComponentAsync("my-appinsights");

ApplicationInsightsComponentApiKeyCollection apiKeys = component.GetApplicationInsightsComponentApiKeys();

// API key for reading telemetry
ApplicationInsightsApiKeyContent keyContent = new ApplicationInsightsApiKeyContent
{
    Name = "ReadTelemetryKey",
    LinkedReadProperties =
    {
        $"/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/microsoft.insights/components/{component.Data.Name}/api",
        $"/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/microsoft.insights/components/{component.Data.Name}/agentconfig"
    }
};

ApplicationInsightsComponentApiKeyResource apiKey = await apiKeys
    .CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, keyContent);

Console.WriteLine($"API Key Name: {apiKey.Data.Name}");
Console.WriteLine($"API Key: {apiKey.Data.ApiKey}"); // Only shown once!
```

### 4. Create Web Test (Availability Test)

```csharp
WebTestCollection webTests = resourceGroup.GetWebTests();

// URL Ping Test
WebTestData urlPingTest = new WebTestData(AzureLocation.EastUS)
{
    Kind = WebTestKind.Ping,
    SyntheticMonitorId = "webtest-ping-myapp",
    WebTestName = "Homepage Availability",
    Description = "Checks if homepage is available",
    IsEnabled = true,
    Frequency = 300, // 5 minutes
    Timeout = 120,   // 2 minutes
    WebTestKind = WebTestKind.Ping,
    IsRetryEnabled = true,
    Locations =
    {
        new WebTestGeolocation { WebTestLocationId = "us-ca-sjc-azr" },  // West US
        new WebTestGeolocation { WebTestLocationId = "us-tx-sn1-azr" },  // South Central US
        new WebTestGeolocation { WebTestLocationId = "us-il-ch1-azr" },  // North Central US
        new WebTestGeolocation { WebTestLocationId = "emea-gb-db3-azr" }, // UK South
        new WebTestGeolocation { WebTestLocationId = "apac-sg-sin-azr" }  // Southeast Asia
    },
    Configuration = new WebTestConfiguration
    {
        WebTest = """
            <WebTest Name="Homepage" Enabled="True" Timeout="120" 
                     xmlns="http://microsoft.com/schemas/VisualStudio/TeamTest/2010">
                <Items>
                    <Request Method="GET" Version="1.1" Url="https://myapp.example.com" 
                             ThinkTime="0" Timeout="120" ParseDependentRequests="False" 
                             FollowRedirects="True" RecordResult="True" Cache="False" 
                             ResponseTimeGoal="0" Encoding="utf-8" ExpectedHttpStatusCode="200" />
                </Items>
            </WebTest>
        """
    },
    Tags =
    {
        { $"hidden-link:/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/microsoft.insights/components/my-appinsights", "Resource" }
    }
};

ArmOperation<WebTestResource> operation = await webTests
    .CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "webtest-homepage", urlPingTest);

WebTestResource webTest = operation.Value;
Console.WriteLine($"Web test created: {webTest.Data.Name}");
```

### 5. Create Multi-Step Web Test

```csharp
WebTestData multiStepTest = new WebTestData(AzureLocation.EastUS)
{
    Kind = WebTestKind.MultiStep,
    SyntheticMonitorId = "webtest-multistep-login",
    WebTestName = "Login Flow Test",
    Description = "Tests login functionality",
    IsEnabled = true,
    Frequency = 900, // 15 minutes
    Timeout = 300,   // 5 minutes
    WebTestKind = WebTestKind.MultiStep,
    IsRetryEnabled = true,
    Locations =
    {
        new WebTestGeolocation { WebTestLocationId = "us-ca-sjc-azr" }
    },
    Configuration = new WebTestConfiguration
    {
        WebTest = """
            <WebTest Name="LoginFlow" Enabled="True" Timeout="300"
                     xmlns="http://microsoft.com/schemas/VisualStudio/TeamTest/2010">
                <Items>
                    <Request Method="GET" Version="1.1" Url="https://myapp.example.com/login" 
                             ThinkTime="0" Timeout="60" />
                    <Request Method="POST" Version="1.1" Url="https://myapp.example.com/api/auth" 
                             ThinkTime="0" Timeout="60">
                        <Headers>
                            <Header Name="Content-Type" Value="application/json" />
                        </Headers>
