Where does TrackRequest() data show up in the portal? - azure

I have a console application logging to TrackRequest in a TelemetryClient, but I can't figure out what tile to display in the Azure portal to see the data.
Is there some guidance that lists each method, the data, and what tile exposes it?

With the following code in a console app:
TelemetryClient client = new TelemetryClient(new TelemetryConfiguration()
{
InstrumentationKey = "<your ikey>",
TelemetryChannel = new InMemoryChannel()
});
client.TrackRequest("Hello", DateTimeOffset.Now, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1), "200", true);
Console.ReadLine();
Request data will appear on main overview page and in search results.

Azure Function - Call Google API from within Azure Function (C#)

I am attempting to create an Azure Function using .NET Core to call to the YouTube API to retrieve some metrics on my videos.
Before calling the API I need to Authenticate with Google in a server to server method since this function will run daily with NO user interaction.
I've followed a number of examples (https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/dotnet/guide/aaa_oauth) and I'm having no luck getting properly authenticated when running from Azure.
Is this possible? And can anyone point me to an example of this working?
For server-to-server interactions you need a service account, which is an account that belongs to your application instead of to an individual end-user. Your application calls Google APIs on behalf of the service account, and user consent is not required.
public class Program
{
// A known public activity.
private static String ACTIVITY_ID = "z12gtjhq3qn2xxl2o224exwiqruvtda0i";
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Plus API - Service Account");
Console.WriteLine("==========================");
String serviceAccountEmail = "SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL_HERE";
var certificate = new X509Certificate2(#"key.p12", "notasecret", X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable);
ServiceAccountCredential credential = new ServiceAccountCredential(new ServiceAccountCredential.Initializer(serviceAccountEmail)
{
Scopes = new[] { PlusService.Scope.PlusMe }
}.FromCertificate(certificate));
// Create the service.
var service = new PlusService(new BaseClientService.Initializer()
{
HttpClientInitializer = credential,
ApplicationName = "Plus API Sample",
});
Activity activity = service.Activities.Get(ACTIVITY_ID).Execute();
Console.WriteLine(" Activity: " + activity.Object.Content);
Console.WriteLine(" Video: " + activity.Object.Attachments[0].Url);
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue...");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
The above sample code creates a ServiceAccountCredential. The required scopes are set and there is a call to FromCertificate, which loads the private key from the given X509Certificate2. As in all other samples code, the credential is set as HttpClientInitializer.
For more details about service account flow you could refer to this article.

any solution for this and suggestion?
ok, I think I finally understand this better, so hopefully can put a useful reply together. Would be much easier if we had a shared whiteboard :-)
Basically, in terms of hosting a bot on the Microsoft Bot Framework Services, you need to have a registration in Azure. However, there are two different options, and both are VERY different in terms of hosting. When you "create" the resource in Azure, and search for "Bot", you'll see two options - "Web App Bot" and "Bot Channels Registration":
"Bot Channels Registration" means JUST registering your bot in Azure, but HOSTING it elsewhere.
"Web App Bot" - INCLUDES the "Bot Channels Registration" but ALSO adds hosting using an Azure Web Application (so it's a Bot registration PLUS hosting)
From the screenshot you posted, I can see you've selected (2) above, and so your bot is running inside Azure, and therefore can't connect to your on premises resource (SharePoint).
As a result, I'd suggest one of two options:
Create an Azure Application Proxy - this is basically a small gateway so that your bot HOSTED in Azure can securely talk to your on-premises SharePoint. There is in fact a specific use case for SharePoint in particular.
Delete and re-create your Azure Bot entry to instead be just a "Bot Channels Registration", and then in the "Settings" screen you can call a bot hosted at any "https" endpoint. You can then have your bot run on the local network, but it will need a live "https" address (not -that- hard to do, but you have to involve your IT team to get a live web address, like "whatever.aspac.com", and you'll need an SSL/TLS certificate so that it can run httpS instead of just http.
Which option you choose might depend on the skills and resources on your team, as well as in the organisation. For instance, the company might have Azure Application Proxy configured already, in which case that saves a lot of work. It might have a wildcard certificate, which would make option (2) easier, etc.
Either way, I hope that helped, but feel free to ask more if anything is still unclear.
i had a similar problem using a on premise database. as you are deploying your bot externally, the bot needs resources that are available on the internet, and not contained internally. It will work fine using the bot emulator because it has access to what your machine has.
Saying that, azure has developed some actions which you can use to help this problem. If you look at application proxys, that may be able to help you out.
i think thats what you mean... anyway!

Azure B2C AD / dotnetcore 2.0 MVC app not authorising

I've followed the tutorial at https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/webdev/2017/10/17/user-accounts-made-easy-with-azure/#comment-312956 and am reasonably confident that I have set up my Azure B2C Tenant correctly - I have tested the login functionality through the Azure Portal, and all is good.
However, using the demo app, I am unable to sign in. I don't get any errors, and I can see through the browser dev tools that the request goes off to the portal, but it returns almost immediately without giving me the login page, and my app is still in the "sign in" state. Here's a screenshot of the network activity (FirefoxDeveloper)
There are no login activities recorded in the B2C portal and there are no errors anywhere...Any help would be gratefully received!
found the problem. The walkthrough for creating the B2C application does not mention that you need to append "/signin-oidc" to the Reply URL
The callback path is set in the OpenIdConnectOptions instance and defaults to "signin-oidc", e.g. taking the sample code
public void Configure(string name, OpenIdConnectOptions options)
{
options.ClientId = AzureAdB2COptions.ClientId;
options.Authority = AzureAdB2COptions.Authority;
// This is the default value
options.CallbackPath = "signin-oidc";
options.UseTokenLifetime = true;
options.TokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters() { NameClaimType = "name" };
options.Events = new OpenIdConnectEvents()
{
OnRedirectToIdentityProvider = OnRedirectToIdentityProvider,
OnRemoteFailure = OnRemoteFailure,
OnAuthorizationCodeReceived = OnAuthorizationCodeReceived
};
}
Whatever you set this to, you must align the ReplyUri in your Azure B2C tenant e.g.
http://myapp.com/signin-oidc

How to add more entries in customDimensions in to Application Insights Telemetry in Azure Function

I am trying to integrate Azure App Insights with an Azure Function App (HttpTriggered). I want to add my own keys and values in the "customDimensions" object of the requests table. Right now it only shows the following:
On query
requests
| where iKey == "449470fb-****" and id == "5e17e23e-****"
I get this:
LogLevel: Information
Category: Host.Results
FullName: Functions.FTAID
StartTime: 2017-07-14T14:24:10.9410000Z
param__context: ****
HttpMethod: POST
param__req: Method: POST, Uri: ****
Succeeded: True
TriggerReason: This function was programmatically called via the host APIs.
EndTime: 2017-07-14T14:24:11.6080000Z
I want to add more key values such as:
EnvironmentName: Development
ServiceLine: Business
Based on this answer, I implemented the ITelemetryInitializer interface as follows:
public class CustomTelemetry : ITelemetryInitializer
{
public void Initialize(ITelemetry telemetry)
{
var requestTelemetry = telemetry as RequestTelemetry;
if (requestTelemetry == null) return;
requestTelemetry.Context.Properties.Add("EnvironmentName", "Development");
}
}
Here is how the run.csx code for the Azure Function App looks like:
public static async Task<HttpResponseMessage> Run(HttpRequestMessage req, ExecutionContext context, TraceWriter log)
{
// Initialize the App Insights Telemetry
TelemetryConfiguration.Active.InstrumentationKey = System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process);
TelemetryConfiguration.Active.TelemetryInitializers.Add(new CustomTelemetry());
TelemetryClient telemetry = new TelemetryClient();
var jsonBody = await req.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
GetIoItemID obj = new GetIoItemID();
JArray output = obj.GetResponseJson(jsonBody, log, telemetry);
var response = req.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK);
response.Content = new StringContent(output.ToString(), System.Text.Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
return response;
}
But this did not work...
I believe, since you're creating the TelemetryClient yourself in this example, you don't need to bother with the telemetry initializer, you could just do
var telemetry = new TelemetryClient();
telemetry.Context.Properties["EnvironmentName"] = "Development";
directly, and everything sent by that instance of that telemetry client will have those properties set.
You'd need that telemetry initializer if you don't have control over who's creating the telemetry client and want to touch every item of telemetry created wherever?
I don't know how that TelemetryClient instance gets used downstream in azure functions though, so i'm not entirely positive, though.
Edit: from azure functions post about this, it says:
We’ll be working hard to get Application Insights ready for production
workloads. We’re also listening for any feedback you have. Please file
it on our GitHub. We’ll be adding some new features like better
sampling controls and automatic dependency tracking soon. We hope
you’ll give it a try and start to gain more insight into how your
Functions are behaving. You can read more about how it works at
https://aka.ms/func-ai
and the example from that func-ai link has a couple things:
1) it creates the telemetry client statically up front once (instead of in each call to the function)
private static TelemetryClient telemetry = new TelemetryClient();
private static string key = TelemetryConfiguration.Active.InstrumentationKey = System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process);
and inside the function it is doing:
telemetry.Context.Operation.Id = context.InvocationId.ToString();
to properly do correlation with events you might create with your telemetry client so you might want to do that too.
2) it appears that the telemetry client you create you can use, but they create their own telemetry client and send data there, so anything you touch in your telemetry client's context isn't seen by azure functions itself.
so, to me that leads me to something you can try:
add a static constructor in your class, and in that static constructor, do the telemetry initializer thing you were doing above. possibly this gets your telemetry initializer added to the context before azure functions starts creating its request and calling your method?
If that doesn't work, you might need to post on their GitHub or email the person listed in the article for more details on how to do this?

How to publish website form webapplication hosted in Azure?

StatusCode = rsp.StatusCode,
Content = new StringContent(retData)
};
}
I am not entirely sure what you try to achieve here. But if I understand correctly you want to publish a website programmatic.
You cannot do this (publish a website programmatic) with Azure Management APIs. Azure management APIs are to manage Azure services and resources. The web site content itself is not in any way Azure Service, nor an Azure resource.
If you want to programmaticly publish a website to Azure Web Site, I would suggest taking deep read into How to deploy an Azure Web site.
Out from what is mentioned there, pretty easy to automate are
Web Deploy
Repositories using GIT
MSBuild
any other that you are familiar with ...
