Wow! Monitor web apps running in azure VM and VMSS via app insights

Hi All!

Application insights monitors the telemetry of web applications, function app, APIM and etc.,

Consider a scenario that your organization has some web applications hosted in IIS of an azure VM and they want to monitor performance of those applications.

Azure VM was not the eligible candidate to map with Application insights then how can we monitor app(s) running inside azure VM?

Now azure offers the feature of monitoring azure vm's web applications through application insights generally available.

Please follow the below steps and have a look into the picture

  1. You need to have a connection string of an existing application insights. If have, copy it.
  2. Go to the VM which has web apps running in IIS
  3. Click "Extension+applications" and then click Add
  4. Find Application insights agent for .NET and click next
  5. Paste the copied connection string of app insights and click Review+Create

Note: It seems this feature can be suitable for windows azure VM because only Windows VM can have IIS

Glimpse - Azure function migration from .net6 in-process to .net8 isolated Microsoft/Azure periodically announces the end of support for some services and ask us to migrate to a new version/release when they come up with a robust solution than the deprecated. In this post we are going to see a glimpse/UI configuration change of azure function 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 .𝗻𝗲𝘁𝟲 𝗶𝗻-𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝘁𝗼 .𝗻𝗲𝘁𝟴 𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱. Here, I'm not going to deep dive about the migration whereas going to see the illustration of changing .net version from UI. For learning, GUI is the best place to start. So, as a dev guy we would prefer azure portal mostly. Consider a scenario that, you're requested to migrate your existing .net6 function app to be migrated .net8 isolated, you would go to settings panel and try to change the version in configuration, but the option would be disabled, it was disabled for me initially. Shocking and Afraid! After some point of ...

Azure Devops - How to use classic pipeline variable group in YAML pipeline Hi All! When we need to use a group of variables in a pipeline, we can go for variable group instead of variables. The main usage of variable group is that can be used it across multiple pipelines in the same project. For example, I have a below variable group in my azure Devops. By default variable groups can be used across classic pipelines without any explicit permission granted but that variable group could not be used by YAML pipelines typically. So, How how can I use that variable group in my YAML pipeline? We can achieve it through "Pipeline permissions" option on top of variable group page. In the below image, I grant permission to my dotnet6app YAML pipeline to use variable group We can revoke if we don't need a YAML pipeline should not access variable group as below. Now, I want my all pipelines should use variable group. I don't want manual intervent...
