“Don’t forget to flush” Application Insights Revisited

Posted on by

This post revisits a previous post “Don’t forget to flush” Application insights and shows how to configure the instrumentation key in code or via the ApplicationInsights.config file.

 class Program
   {
      static void Main(string[] args)
      {
#if INSTRUMENTATION_KEY_TELEMETRY_CONFIGURATION
         if (args.Length != 1)
         {
            Console.WriteLine("Usage AzureApplicationInsightsClientConsole <instrumentationKey>");
            return;
         }

         TelemetryConfiguration telemetryConfiguration = new TelemetryConfiguration(args[0]);
         TelemetryClient telemetryClient = new TelemetryClient(telemetryConfiguration);
         telemetryClient.TrackTrace("INSTRUMENTATION_KEY_TELEMETRY_CONFIGURATION", SeverityLevel.Information);
#endif
#if INSTRUMENTATION_KEY_APPLICATION_INSIGHTS_CONFIG
         TelemetryClient telemetryClient = new TelemetryClient();
         telemetryClient.TrackTrace("INSTRUMENTATION_KEY_APPLICATION_INSIGHTS_CONFIG", SeverityLevel.Information);
#endif
         telemetryClient.TrackTrace("This is an AI API Verbose message", SeverityLevel.Verbose);
         telemetryClient.TrackTrace("This is an AI API Information message", SeverityLevel.Information);
         telemetryClient.TrackTrace("This is an AI API Warning message", SeverityLevel.Warning);
         telemetryClient.TrackTrace("This is an AI API Error message", SeverityLevel.Error);
         telemetryClient.TrackTrace("This is an AI API Critical message", SeverityLevel.Critical);

         telemetryClient.Flush();

         Console.WriteLine("Press <enter> to exit");
         Console.ReadLine();
      }
