Aspire.Hosting.Azure.ApplicationInsights

Azure Application Insights hosting integration

Use this integration to model, configure, and orchestrate Azure Application Insights in an Aspire solution.

Getting started

Prerequisites

• Azure subscription - create one for free

Add the integration

From your AppHost directory, add the Aspire.Hosting.Azure.ApplicationInsights integration with the Aspire CLI:

aspire add Aspire.Hosting.Azure.ApplicationInsights

Configure Azure Provisioning for local development

Adding Azure resources to the AppHost model will automatically enable development-time provisioning for Azure resources so that you don't need to configure them manually. Provisioning requires a number of settings to be available via AppHost configuration. From your AppHost directory, set these values with aspire secret set:

aspire secret set Azure:SubscriptionId "<your subscription id>"
aspire secret set Azure:ResourceGroupPrefix "<prefix for the resource group>"
aspire secret set Azure:Location "<azure location>"

NOTE: Developers must have Owner access to the target subscription so that role assignments can be configured for the provisioned resources.

Usage example

In the AppHost, add an Application Insights connection and reference it from another resource with either C# or TypeScript:

C#

var appInsights = builder.AddAzureApplicationInsights("appInsights");

var myService = builder.AddProject<Projects.MyService>()
                       .WithReference(appInsights);

TypeScript

const appInsights = await builder.addAzureApplicationInsights("appInsights");

const myService = await builder.addNodeApp("myService", "../my-service", "server.js")
                       .withReference(appInsights);
