View Request Body in Application Insights

Question

I'm using Application insights with API-Management to monitor my API's. Application Insights is great tool but I'm not able to see body.

I want to see Post request body parameter. Is there any way to add body data on application insights??

Answer 1

You have to configure API Management to log the request payload to Application Insights. See here: Enable Application Insights logging for your API

1. Navigate to your Azure API Management service instance in the Azure portal.
2. Select APIs from the menu on the left.
3. Click on your API.
4. Go to the Settings tab from the top bar.
5. Scroll down to the Diagnostics Logs section.
6. Check the Enable box.
7. Select your attached logger in the Destination dropdown.
8. Input 100 as Sampling (%) and tick the Always log errors checkbox.
9. Under Additional settings, configure up to 8192 bytes of the payload to be logged.
10. Click Save.

Answer 2

I can't do code changes in existing api. any option without code change would help me

Unfortunately, it is not supported by Application Insights.

I also find the feedback, you could vote it.

It now supports custom Telemetry Initializer as I have shown to you.
