While following the beginners' course on MVA I came to know about Application Insights being available for running in local mode. Upon adding the same to my sample project I was surprised to find the activity to be showing 0's (zeros)?
I right clicked the project
Selected Add > Application Insights Telemetry
Upon Application Insights Configuration Page selected Start Free
On the proceeding page I selected the option Or just add SDK to try local only mode at the bottom of page
Ran the application by pressing IIS Express
The Application Insightsbutton I had added on the toolbar didn't show any number of activity
Upon clicking the said button the Application Insights Search page appeared, but with every event/result as 0 (Zero)
While the Immediate Window showing Application Insights Telemetry (unconfigured) at some places.
The Startup file is as:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;
namespace FAQ
{
public class Startup
{
public Startup(IConfiguration config)
{
configuration = config;
}
public IConfiguration configuration { get; }
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddDbContext<FAQ_TempDB>(options => options.UseInMemoryDatabase("Some_Name"));
services.AddLogging();
services.AddMvc();
}
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory)
{
loggerFactory.AddConsole();
loggerFactory.AddDebug();
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
app.UseBrowserLink();
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseMvc(routes =>
{
routes.MapRoute(
name: "default",
template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
});
}
}
}
while I have used it on the Create Model in a single CRUD page model as:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.RazorPages;
using FAQ.Models;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
namespace FAQ.Pages
{
public class CreateModel : PageModel
{
private readonly FAQ_TempDB _TempDB;
private ILogger<CreateModel> Log;
public CreateModel(FAQ_TempDB tempDB, ILogger<CreateModel> log)
{
_TempDB = tempDB;
Log = log;
}
[TempData]
public string xMessage { get; set; }
[BindProperty]
public Worker Worker { get; set; }
public async Task<IActionResult> OnPostAsync()
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid) {return Page();}
_TempDB.Workers.Add(Worker);
await _TempDB.SaveChangesAsync();
var xMsg = $"Record of {Worker.W_FName} added!";
xMessage = xMsg;
Log.LogCritical(xMsg); //LOG ACTIVITY NOT WORKING ON APP INSIGHTS
return RedirectToPage("/BackToDB");
}
}
public class BackToDBModel : PageModel
{
private readonly FAQ_TempDB _TempDB;
public BackToDBModel(FAQ_TempDB tempDB)
{
_TempDB = tempDB;
}
public IList<Worker> Workers { get; private set; }
[TempData]
public string xMessage { get; set; } //Name should be same as one declared in Create Model
public async Task OnGetAsync()
{
Workers = await _TempDB.Workers.AsNoTracking().ToListAsync();
}
public async Task<IActionResult> OnPostDeleteAsync(int id)
{
var worker = await _TempDB.Workers.FindAsync(id);
if (worker != null)
{
_TempDB.Workers.Remove(worker);
await _TempDB.SaveChangesAsync();
}
return RedirectToPage();
}
}
public class EditModel : PageModel
{
private readonly FAQ_TempDB _TempDB;
public EditModel(FAQ_TempDB tempDB)
{
_TempDB = tempDB;
}
[BindProperty]
public Worker Worker { get; set; }
public async Task<IActionResult> OnGetAsync(int id)
{
Worker = await _TempDB.Workers.FindAsync(id);
if (Worker == null)
{
return RedirectToPage("/BackToDB");
}
return Page();
}
public async Task<IActionResult> OnPostAsync()
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
return Page();
}
_TempDB.Attach(Worker).State = EntityState.Modified;
try
{
await _TempDB.SaveChangesAsync();
}
catch (DbUpdateConcurrencyException ex)
{
throw new Exception($"Worker {Worker.W_FName} Not Found!", ex);
}
return RedirectToPage("/BackToDB");
}
}
}
The app works well on console reflecting the requisite critical portion in red but I don't understand why not on the local mode of Application Insights? Is it necessary to use Azure?

Application Insights Not Running In Local Mode

Please see if any of you experts can help.

Hi Faraz,
>> I was surprised to find the activity to be showing 0's (zeros)?
Could you share us a screen shot about this? Do you mean the red area in image below is zero?
I suggest you upgrade VS to VS 2017 latest version, and try again.
For Application Insights issue, I would suggest you submit an issue below:
# https://github.com/Microsoft/ApplicationInsights-Home/issues
Best Regards,
Edward

Hi Faraz,
In my option, your issue is more related with Application Insights instead of Asp.net Core.
To be honesty, I am not familiar with AI, I would suggest you try forum below:

Thanks Edward,
While I had posted the same on GitHub I have also done on the msdn forum At This Location recommended. Thanks again for all your help and guidance.
However, inconvenience of any sort is regretted.
