I use a application insights for each app but I want to create a report in PowerBI that for example shows me all the exceptions for the day from all of the Application Insights.
A workaround is just have all the apps start to use a single Application Insight but I would rather not do that.
Currently, there is no "out of the box" way to achieve that. We are working on enabling cross-ikey queries in analytics that will enable this in a very simple way - please cast your vote for this here: https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/357324-application-insights/suggestions/15165558-support-for-cross-ikey-queries
The current workaround for this is to export the data using continuous export, and load the data into some store (like SQL) and use a reporting on top of it. See some example here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-insights-code-sample-export-sql-stream-analytics/

I am looking to build a solution where we can compare (Automated) a word document we email to a client to the word document the client emails us back.
Any suggestions please, we will be using MS Azure to create the solution.
Due to the lack of a direct automation of this feature you can use an indirect route to approach the solution.
Note:
This solution invokes Word using COM automation. Hence this is expected to be running on a VM that has word installed.
Since this solution simplifies the content that is being compared, it might lose the details you might want to show up in your comparison.
You can create a PowerShell script that does the following
Convert the documents to a simpler (txt) format - See this or this.
Compare the text files - See this.
The powershell script will get the comparison done. After that its up to how much fancy you want to get when exposing this functionality outside that VM. e.g. You could create an HTTP invokable API that can call this Powershell script and return results.
I think your best bet would be using Microsoft Azure Logic Apps! Azure Logic Apps allows you to develop advanced automation workflows on the cloud and it supports a vast array of connectors out of the box including email triggers and the Microsoft Word Connector. If that's not enough then, you could even develop your own connectors too...
Is it possible to automate the publish of dxp file to the server. What I want to achieve is build a command line tool, user navigates to the dxp file and runs a command (let's say publish), this should save the file to the library without opening spotfire client (something similar to running spotfire in Headless mode).
I got to know that Spotfire Automation Services can be of some help in this task, but I have never used the automation services and don't know how to install or find the automation services module. Any help or direction is highly appreciated. Thanks
Automation Services is a licensed framework from TIBCO that lets you automate several tasks including Open or Save analysis to library, replace or remap data sources, run alerts etc.
But if your sole requirement is to publish analysis to library then use the import-library-content on command line, or save it in a batch file and use IronPython to trigger that as using button from the DXP.
See API docs of import-library-content for usage.
you can check Google for Automation Services and see more details on its capabilities, but I'm pretty sure your use case is covered. Spotfire does not offer this feature out of the box (except maybe using the admin command tool, but that'd only be for admins).
your organization will need to buy a license for AS, since it's a separate product in the Spotfire suite. talk to your TIBCO rep or send me a PM.
Yes, you can use Automation Services for this. Automation Services needs to be licensed from TIBCO, but it provides a framework that will allow you to create job.xml files which specify a list of tasks for Automation Services to execute. You can then submit the job file to a web service when you want the tasks to be executed.
I have an existing web application on Azure with some very limited application insights monitoring (end point checks). I thought I would pull in the rest of the functionality so I added telemetry to my project following the instructions at http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-insights-start-monitoring-app-health-usage/. Everything went well and I was able to see that when I loaded a page with the instrumentation JavaScript it was indeed sending requests to azure and I was getting back no errors either in error code or in the errors array in the json response.
The GUID in the applications insights configuration file looks correct. I've also tried sending telemetry manually
private void GatherTelemetry()
{
var telemetry = new TelemetryClient();
telemetry.TrackEvent("FeedPageLoaded");
}
While all of these actions show up in the count in visual studio
there is nothing in the portal.
I have tried reopening the blades as well as logging out and in again.
What else can I try?
here are things to confirm:
if you are running your app from visual studio make sure there are events listed as sent from the output window (based on your screenshot above it looks good there)
make sure you are using our latest SDKs. .11 had some breaking changes see here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudioalm/archive/2014/10/21/application-insights-sdk-0-11-0-prerelease.aspx
ensure the events are being sent to the AI endpoint in fiddler dc.services.visualstudio.com (looks like you are good here)
go to portal.azure.com and choose browse -> application insights and choose the app you are sending data for. you can double check by looking at the instrumentation key on the properties part. another way to get back to the portal is through the deep links made available in visual studio. on the overview blade go to the diagnostic search part to see a tail of the last telemetry events collected.
finally if you don't see data check for service issues here: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/status/
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that custom events aren't yet included in the charts you are looking at. Have you checked whether you can find the events using the search functionality?
Custom events will soon be seen in the overview blade. In the mean time you can chart the trend of metric Event count. Just select any chart and open up Metric Explorer, then you can select the metric Event count. This should show you the trend of events sent.
i know this is gonna be a Little akward because the Image i am gonna post is in German,
but essentialy what i am trying to do, is create a Service Pool for Reporting Services,
now it is Very important that i am able to check the last Checkbox so my PowerPivot is gonna work, but i don't know what it is that's making it impossible for me to do so, anybody have any Ideas ?
NOTE: the message sais: There are no Webaplications associated with this SQL Server Reporting Services-Service Application available
Your Help is as always well Appreciated!
Fixed it, by removing the existing Association beetween the SSRS Service with the Web App,
apparently you can only associate one SSRS Service per Time
Asked this first on serverfault, and someone recommended that I ask here.
I'm looking for advice from anyone out there who has experience integrating SharePoint with a business intelligence application like Cognos.
Our BI team wants to be able to report on data stored in SharePoint. Their tool of choice is Cognos. What's the best way to get the data they're looking for OUT of SharePoint and into Cognos BI for analysis?
To clarify I'm NOT looking for a way to display Cognos reports in SharePoint. We want to take the list data from SharePoint and use Cognos to report on it.
Since the SharePoint database itself is extremely complex it is not recommended to access it directly. You do however have to alternatives to pulling the data out.
List RSS Feed
The simplest and easiest way would be to enable RSS on the lists you want exported and then pulling the RSS feeds into a seperate database using an external tool.
List WebService
The second option is to use the SharePoint List Web Services. These are standard ASMX webservices that expose the data inside any list to an external source. You can access any list as a Web Service as follows:
[Sharepoint Site Url] + _vti_bin/Lists.asmx.
The details on using the List Web Service is on MSDN here
Diago is right, never touch the DB. In answer to your BI question I recently responded to a similar one here Combining data from Project Server and SharePoint into a single report
