Exceptions not recorded in Azure Application Insights

I added Azure Application Insights (AI) to my Umbraco 10 website:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddUmbraco(env, config)
        .AddBackOffice()
        .AddWebsite()
        .AddComposers()
        .AddAzureBlobMediaFileSystem()
        .Build();

    services.AddApplicationInsightsTelemetry();
}

I can see exceptions being logged in Umbraco using the Log Viewer, but those exceptions are not being recorded in AI.

Any idea what I should do to get them into AI?

Hi Niels,

I have added services.AddApplicationInsightsTelemetry(); before services.AddUmbraco(_env, _config)

I also set the Serilog sink via the appsettings.json

"Serilog": {
        "MinimumLevel": {
            "Default": "Information",
            "Override": {
                "Microsoft": "Warning",
                "SixLabors.ImageSharp.Web.Middleware": "Warning",
                "Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime": "Information",
                "System": "Warning"
            }
        },
        "Enrich": [
            "FromLogContext",
            "WithEnvironmentName"
        ],
        "WriteTo": [
            {
                "Name": "ApplicationInsights",
                "Args": {
                    "telemetryConverter": "Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights.TelemetryConverters.TraceTelemetryConverter, Serilog.Sinks.ApplicationInsights"
                }
            }
        ]
    },
    "ApplicationInsights": {
        "EnableAdaptiveSampling": false,
        "EnablePerformanceCounterCollectionModule": false
    },

Hope this helps,

Matt

I'll try putting services.AddApplicationInsightsTelemetry(); in front of adding Umbraco. I put it in this order because that's what the docs for Cloud say.

I do have the Serilog sink already setup. I'll get back to you after collecting some more telemetry.

Unfortunately, an exception was still logged in Umbraco but not tracked in AI:

In addition to the configuration Matthew has posted you will need to install the Serilog Sink package - https://github.com/serilog-contrib/serilog-sinks-applicationinsights

And ensure you have the environment variable APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING - https://github.com/serilog-contrib/serilog-sinks-applicationinsights#configuring-with-readfromconfiguration

No, it's been a while, but I don't think so.

Hi all,

I'm experiencing the same issue. I've opened a ticket with Umbraco Support, but thought I would share what I've seen here as well if someone else can figure out the root cause. Essentially the default setup is working in v9, but not in v10+.

https://github.com/vipervf1/umb-app-insights-debug

The biggest callout is that in version 9, the logger has multiple outputs where in v10 it is just serilog.

Version 9 Injected ILogger

Version 10 Injected ILogger

This explains the drop off in AppTraces going to Application Insights, but I'm not sure if this is the cause of AppExceptions falling off as well.

We're running into this issue as well. In our case, we do not want all of Umbraco logs headed to AppInsights (as the volume of logging becomes expensive so we're sending it elsewhere) but we're finding that the 500 is logged in AI, but not the actual exception that caused it.
