FAQPage Schema

How do I add Application Insights telemetry to Business Central codeunits?▼

Automated instrumentation adds event, error, performance, and feature usage telemetry to Business Central codeunits by generating event IDs and log messages with appropriate verbosity, data classification, and scope.

What telemetry patterns should I use when instrumenting AL code?▼

Effective AL code instrumentation requires event ID conventions, data classification, common dimension use, and scope management to ensure consistent observability and analytics across Business Central extensions.

Do I need System Application Telemetry to instrument Business Central extensions?▼

Yes, instrumenting Business Central extensions with Application Insights telemetry requires the System Application Telemetry codeunit and a configured Application Insights resource to log the generated events.

How do I identify performance sensitive paths for Application Insights monitoring?▼

Automated telemetry generation identifies public procedures, error prone operations, and performance sensitive paths in AL codeunits, then applies appropriate verbosity and data classification to log messages.

What's the best way to automate code instrumentation for Business Central extensions?▼

Automated instrumentation tools generate telemetry codeunits for Business Central extensions by scanning AL code and applying monitoring best practices, significantly reducing the manual effort required for observability.

What are the limitations of automated telemetry generation for AL code?▼

Automated telemetry generation focuses on public procedures, error prone operations, and performance sensitive paths within AL codeunits, and its effectiveness depends on proper System Application Telemetry and Application Insights configuration.
