How to zero-fill charts/bins in Application Insights Analytics - azure

I'm trying to plot an area chart of one sum/count metric over time in Application Insights Analytics:
customEvents
| where timestamp > ago(7d)
| summarize count() by bin(timestamp, 1h)
| render areachart
What I see is that if there is no data in some buckets then chart doesn't drop to 0. Instead two dots are connected and there is perception that there were some data when in fact there were not.
Question - how to get zero-filled area charts (corresponding to red ink chart)?

There are several ways to achieve this.
make-series operator allows to set default value for the periods where no data is present for aggregation:
customEvents
| where timestamp > ago(10m)
| make-series count() default=0 on timestamp in range(ago(10m), now(), 1m)
| render areachart
This will produce zero-filled data array and | render will build the chart accordingly.
If | summarize is preferred, you can create zero-filled range yourself with range operator:
let defaultValue = 0;
range timestamp from floor(ago(10m),1m) to floor(now() + 10m,1m) step 1m
| join kind=leftouter
(
customEvents
| where timestamp > floor(ago(10m),1m) and timestamp < floor(now(),1m)
| summarize Value=count() by bin(timestamp, 1m)
) on timestamp
| project timestamp, value = iff(isnotempty(Value), Value, defaultValue)
| render areachart
Make sure to use join kind=leftouter to have all timestamps from the left side of the join present in output.

Azure kusto unable to create chart

The error I got is
"The Line can't be created as you are missing a column of one of the following types: int, long, decimal, or real"
this is my query" I am looking the chart will display "number of unique resource IDs over time, with an aggregation timespan of 5m"
syslog_CL
| where data_s contains "Reject"
| where hostname_s contains "Network1"
| where TimeGenerated > ago(1hr)
is there any suggestion I can add to the query to get the time chart?
you could try something like this:
syslog_CL
| where data_s contains "Reject"
| where hostname_s contains "Network1"
| where TimeGenerated > ago(1hr)
| summarize dcount(_ResourceId) by bin(TimeGenerated, 5m)
| render timechart

Kusto Query to the earliest timestamp grouped by user_Id

I'm just starting with kusto, and my journey was abruptly stopped by the problem of getting the list of user_Ids with the timestamp of the very first customEvent sent by a user in the given time frame.
How should I modify my query to get the results (let's assume that the limiting timespan is 30days)
customEvents
| where timestamp >= ago(30d)
| summarize min(timestamp)
If you want to get just the min of the timestamp just add the "by" clause:
customEvents
| where timestamp >= ago(30d)
| summarize min(timestamp) by user_Id
If you want to get the full row, use arg_min() function, for example:
customEvents
| where timestamp >= ago(30d)
| summarize arg_min(timestamp, *) by user_Id

Making Switch function return a column in a table and not a measure (PowerBI DAX)

What I'm trying to do is to change measures using slicers in Power BI Desktop. I have found some examples of people who have done that (for instance this ) .
What they do is that they create a table where there are ID and Measure names. The 'Measure names' column of this table will be used as field value in the filter of the visualization. Then, they create a switch function that, given a certain value in the filter, switch the value in the filter to a measure.
You can see an example below:
Measure Value = SWITCH(
MIN('Dynamic'[Measure ID]) ,
1,[Max Temp],
2,[Min Temp],
3,[Air Pressure],
4,[Rainfall],
5,[Wind Speed],
6,[Humidity]
)
Where 'Dynamic' is a group containing a measure ID and a Measure name:
Dynamic:
Measure ID | Measure Name
1 | Max Temp
2 | Min Temp
3 | Air Pressure
4 | Rainfall
5 | Wind Speed
6 | Humidity
All of the 'Measure Name' are measures as well.
My problem is: I have too many columns (400!) and I cannot turn them into measures one by one. It will take days. I was thinking that maybe I could use the switch function so that it returns the column in the table and NOT the corresponding measure. However I cannot just insert
'Name of the table'['Name of the column'] in the switch function as result parameter.
Does anyone know how to make the function Switch return a column and not a measure? (Or any other suggestion)
DAX doesn't work well for lots of columns like this, so I'd suggest reshaping your data (in the query editor) by unpivoting all those columns you want to work with so that instead of a table that looks like this
ID | Max Temp | Min Temp | Air Pressure | Rainfall | Wind Speed | Humidity
---+----------+----------+--------------+----------+------------+----------
1 | | | | | |
...
you'd unpivot all those data columns so it looks more like this:
ID | ColumnName | Value
---+--------------+-------
1 | Max Temp |
1 | Min Temp |
1 | Air Pressure |
1 | Rainfall |
1 | Wind Speed |
1 | Humidity |
...
Then you can create a calculated table, Dynamic, to use as your slicer:
Dynamic = DISTINCT ( Unpivoted[ColumnName] )
Now you can write a switching measure like this:
SwitchingMeasure =
VAR ColName = SELECTEDVALUE ( Dynamic[ColumnName] )
RETURN
CALCULATE ( [BaseMeasure], Unpivoted[ColumnName] = ColName )
where [BaseMeasure] is whatever aggregation you're after, e.g., SUM ( TableName[Value] ).

Application Insight Analytics Pivot

Is there a way to pivot in Azure Application insight analytic queries? SQL has a Pivot Keyword, can similar be achieved in Application insight Analytics?
When I run the below query I get exceptions and count, but I would like to see a day on day trending
exceptions
| where timestamp >= ago(24h)
| extend Api = replace(#"/(\d+)",#"/xxxx", operation_Name)
| summarize count() by type
| sort by count_ desc
| limit 10
| project Exception = type, Count = count_
I am looking for something below day wise.
The easiest way to achieve something similar to what you need is by using:
exceptions
| where timestamp >= ago(7d)
| summarize count() by type, bin(timestamp, 1d)
This will give in the output one line per-type, per-day. Not exactly what you wanted but it will look good when rendered in graph (will give you a line for each type).
To get a table similar to what you put in your example would be more difficult, but this query should do the trick:
exceptions
| where timestamp >= startofday(ago(3d))
| extend Api = replace(#"/(\d+)",#"/xxxx", operation_Name)
| summarize count() by type, bin(timestamp, 1d)
| summarize
Today = sumif(count_, timestamp == startofday(now())),
Today_1 = sumif(count_, timestamp == startofday(ago(1d))),
Today_2 = sumif(count_, timestamp == startofday(ago(2d))),
Today_3 = sumif(count_, timestamp == startofday(ago(3d)))
by type

Azure Application Insights Query - How to calculate percentage of total

I'm trying to create a row in an output table that would calculate percentage of total items:
Something like this:
ITEM | COUNT | PERCENTAGE
item 1 | 4 | 80
item 2 | 1 | 20
I can easily get a table with rows of ITEM and COUNT, but I can't figure out how to get total (5 in this case) as a number so I can calculate percentage in column %.
someTable
| where name == "Some Name"
| summarize COUNT = count() by ITEM = tostring( customDimensions.["SomePar"])
| project ITEM, COUNT, PERCENTAGE = (C/?)*100
Any ideas? Thank you.
It's a bit messy to create a query like that.
I've done it bases on the customEvents table in AI. So take a look and see if you can adapt it to your specific situation.
You have to create a table that contains the total count of records, you then have to join this table. Since you can join only on a common column you need a column that has always the same value. I choose appName for that.
So the whole query looks like:
let totalEvents = customEvents
// | where name contains "Opened form"
| summarize count() by appName
| project appName, count_ ;
customEvents
// | where name contains "Opened form"
| join kind=leftouter totalEvents on appName
| summarize count() by name, count_
| project name, totalCount = count_ , itemCount = count_1, percentage = (todouble(count_1) * 100 / todouble(count_))
If you need a filter you have to apply it to both tables.
This outputs:
It is not even necessary to do a join or create a table containing your totals
Just calculate your total and save it in a let like so.
let totalEvents = toscalar(customEvents
| where timestamp > "someDate"
and name == "someEvent"
| summarize count());
then you can simply add a row to your next table, where you need the percentage calcualtion by doing:
| extend total = totalEvents
This will add a new column to your table filled with the total you calculated.
After that you can calculate the percentages as described in the other two answers.
| extend percentages = todouble(count_)*100/todouble(total)
where count_ is the column created by your summarize count() which you presumably do before adding the percentages.
Hope this also helps someone.
I think following is more intuitive. Just extend the set with a dummy property and do a join on that...
requests
| summarize count()
| extend a="b"
| join (
requests
| summarize count() by name
| extend a="b"
) on a
| project name, percentage = (todouble(count_1) * 100 / todouble(count_))
This might work too:
someTable
| summarize count() by item
| as T
| extend percent = 100.0*count_/toscalar(T | summarize sum(count_))
| sort by percent desc
| extend row_cumsum(percent)
