Requirements

This module was tested on Python 2.7 and Python 3.5. Older versions of Python 3 probably work as well.

For opening the project in Microsoft Visual Studio you will need Python Tools for Visual Studio.

Installation

To install the latest release you can use pip.

$ pip install aianalytics-client

Usage

Once installed, you can query your Application Insights telemetry. Here are a few samples.

Query exceptions from the last 24 hours and print them

from analytics.client import AnalyticsClient
client = AnalyticsClient('<Your app id goes here>', '<You app key goes here>')
result = client.query('exceptions | where timestamp > ago(24h) | project timestamp, type, outerMessage')
for row in result.row_iterator():
    print ("at {0} there was an exception of type {1} with message {2}".format(row['timestamp'], row['type'], row['outerMessage']))
    # Indexes can also be used instead of column names, e.g.:
    print ("at {0} there was an exception of type {1} with message {2}".format(row[0], row[1], row[2]))

Query average request duration from the last week and plot using matplotlib

from analytics.client import AnalyticsClient
client = AnalyticsClient('<Your app id goes here>', '<You app key goes here>')
result = client.query('requests | where timestamp > ago(7d) | summarize Duration = avg(duration/1000) by bin(timestamp, 1h) | order by timestamp asc')

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot(result["timestamp"], result["Duration"])
plt.show()
