Application Insights instrumentation key to Application Insights connection string

 

Monitoring and Analyzing Telemetry is one of the powerful features of D365 Business Central.

We must enable Application Insights to Send Telemetry to Azure Application Insights.

Please go through below Microsoft Docs link for details

EnableSending Telemetry to Application Insights - Business Central | Microsoft Docs

 

I have noticed below Notification on my environment.

The environment uses an Application Insights instrumentation key. Change it to an Application Insights connection string. Go to Enable Sending Telemetry to Application Insights for more information.

 

Earlier We must have used only Application Insights instrumentation key to enable this feature to send telemetry in Dynamics 365 Business Central admin center but now we must use Application Insights connection string.

 

How and where to get this Application Insights connection string?

 

Sign in to the Azure portal

Search for Application Insights

Click on the Application Insights which we have used/created earlier.

“Connection String” will be available under the instrumentation key

Use “Copy to Clipboard” to copy full string.

 

Go back to Dynamics 365 Business Central admin portal and open the Environment which has this notification

Click on Modify link of Application Insights connection string

Make sure that Enable Application Insights is enabled.

Enter the Connection string that we copied from Azure portal.

Click on Save

Now the notification will be gone after refreshing the environment.
