Set Diagnostic Setting for Application Insights-CodePudding

I have created a diagnostic setting for a Log Analytics Workspace.

I'd also like to create and automate a diagnostic setting for workspace-based in Application Insights. However, I am not sure if that makes sense.

I have created a diagnostic setting as followed:

resource appDiagnostics 'Microsoft.Insights/diagnosticSettings@2021-05-01-preview' = {
  name: appSettingName
  scope: applicationInsights
  properties: {
    storageAccountId: storageAccountId
    logs: [
      {
        category: 'Metrics'
        enabled: true
      }
      {
        category: 'Dependencies'
        enabled: true
      }
      {
        category: 'Exceptions'
        enabled: true
      }
      {
        category: 'PageViews'
        enabled: true
      }
      {
        category: 'PerformanceCounters'
        enabled: true
      }
      {
        category: 'Requests'
        enabled: true
      }
      {
        category: 'SystemEvents'
        enabled: true
      }
      {
        category: 'Traces'
        enabled: true
      }
    ]
    metrics: [
      {
        category: 'AllMetrics'
        enabled: true
      }
    ]
  }
}

However, I always get an error that my log categories are not valid. Is it because the data is double?

If you look at Azure Monitor Logs references, you will see that all log names have the App prefix so you should be able to do something like that:

var logTypes = [
  'AppMetrics'
  'AppDependencies'
  'AppExceptions'
  'AppPageViews'
  'AppPerformanceCounters'
  'AppRequests'
  'AppSystemEvents'
  'AppTraces'
  'AppAvailabilityResults'
  'AppBrowserTimings'
  'AppEvents'
]

resource appDiagnostics 'Microsoft.Insights/diagnosticSettings@2021-05-01-preview' = {
  name: appSettingName
  scope: applicationInsights
  properties: {
    storageAccountId: storageAccountId
    logs: [for logType in logTypes: {
      category: logType
      enabled: true
    }]
    metrics: [
      {
        category: 'AllMetrics'
        enabled: true
      }
    ]
  }
}

I also got the same error when I executed in my environment.

First of all, if you are trying to enable diagnostic settings(components) for any resource (Eg: Application Insights), Create a new workspace-based application insights and add that resource in the code with the existing keyword as shown below.

resource  component  'Microsoft.Insights/components@2020-02-02'  existing = {
name: 'new'
}

Application Insights:

Refer MsDoc.

And

Verify the list of supported categories as @Thomas has also given, check the prefix and modify accordingly.

I've taken your code and made a few changes and enabled diagnostic settings for application insights successfully.

param workspaceId string
resource  storageAccount  'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts@2021-09-01'  existing = {
name: 'newstoragejahnavi'
}
resource  component  'Microsoft.Insights/components@2020-02-02'  existing = {
name: 'new'
}
resource  appdiagnostics  'Microsoft.Insights/diagnosticSettings@2021-05-01-preview' = {
name: 'newsetting'
scope: component
properties: {
storageAccountId: storageAccount.id
workspaceId: workspaceId
logs: [
{
category: 'AppDependencies'
categoryGroup: ''
Retentiondays: 'xx'
enabled: true
}
{
category: 'AppExceptions'
categoryGroup: ''
Retentiondays: 'xx'
enabled: true
}
{
category: 'AppPageViews'
categoryGroup: ''
Retentiondays: 'xx'
enabled: true
}
{
category: 'AppPerformanceCounters'
categoryGroup: ''
Retentiondays: 'xx'
enabled: true
}
{
category: 'AppRequests'
categoryGroup: ''
Retentiondays: 'xx'
enabled: true
}
{
category: 'AppSystemEvents'
categoryGroup: ''
Retentiondays: 'xx'
enabled: true
}
{
category: 'AppTraces'
categoryGroup: ''
Retentiondays: 'xx'
enabled: true
}
]
metrics: [
{
category: 'Allmetrics'
enabled: true
}
]
}
}

Deployment succeeded:
