Description: Application Insights for Python

        ===============================

        

            | Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language. It has

            efficient high-level data structures and a simple but effective

            approach to object-oriented programming. Python's elegant syntax and

            dynamic typing, together with its interpreted nature, make it an

            ideal language for scripting and rapid application development in

            many areas on most platforms.

            | -- \ `The Python Tutorial -

            Introduction <https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/>`__\ 

        

        This project extends the Application Insights API surface to support

        Python. `Application

        Insights <http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/application-insights/>`__

        is a service that allows developers to keep their application available,

        performing and succeeding. This Python module will allow you to send

        telemetry of various kinds (event, trace, exception, etc.) to the

        Application Insights service where they can be visualized in the Azure

        Portal.

        

        Requirements

        ------------

        

        Python 2.7 and Python 3.4 are currently supported by this module.

        

        For opening the project in Microsoft Visual Studio you will need `Python

        Tools for Visual Studio <http://pytools.codeplex.com/>`__.

        

        Installation

        ------------

        

        To install the latest release you can use

        `pip <http://www.pip-installer.org/>`__.

        

        ::

        

            $ pip install applicationinsights

        

        Usage

        -----

        

        Once installed, you can send telemetry to Application Insights. Here are

        a few samples.

        

            **Note**: before you can send data to you will need an

            instrumentation key. Please see the **Getting an Application

            Insights Instrumentation Key** section for more information.

               tc.trackEvent("Test event")

               from applicationinsights import TelemetryClient

               tc = TelemetryClient()

               tc.context.instrumentationKey = "<YOUR INSTRUMENTATION KEY GOES HERE>"

               try:

                raise Exception("blah")

               except Exception as e:

                tc.trackException(e, { "foo": "bar" }, { "x": 42 })

        

        #. **Configuring context for a telemetry client instance**

               tc = TelemetryClient()

               tc.context.instrumentationKey = "<YOUR INSTRUMENTATION KEY GOES HERE>"

               tc.context.application.id = "My application"

               tc.context.application.ver = "1.2.3"

               tc.context.device.id = "My current device"

               tc.context.device.oemName = "Asus"

               tc.context.device.model = "X31A"

               tc.context.device.type = "Other"

               tc.context.user.id = "santa@northpole.net"

               tc.trackTrace("My trace with context")

        

        #. **Configuring channel related properties**

        

           .. code:: python

        

               from applicationinsights import TelemetryClient

               tc = TelemetryClient()

               # flush telemetry every 30 seconds (assuming we don't hit maxQueueItemCount first)

               tc.channel.sender.sendIntervalInMilliseconds = 30 * 1000

               # flush telemetry if we have 10 or more telemetry items in our queue

               tc.channel.sender.maxQueueItemCount = 10

        

        Getting an Application Insights Instrumentation Key

        ---------------------------------------------------

        

        To successfully send data to the Application Insights service, you will

        need an Application Insights resource's instrumentation key. Here is how

        you get a new one.

        

        #. Log into the `Microsoft Azure portal <https://portal.azure.com/>`__

        

        #. Create a new Application Insights resource in the by clicking

           ``New -> Application Insights``.

        

        .. raw:: html

        

           <center><img src="http://i.imgur.com/jieq59h.png" width="300" /></center>

        

        #. Enter a name for your new Application Insights resource and click

           create. A new tile will appear on your dashboard.

        

        .. raw:: html

        #. Expand your resource by clicking on the tile on your dashboard, then

           click on the Properties tile to open your resource's properties

           blade. You can copy the instrumentation key from here.
