In Application Insights, we’ve just upgraded Diagnostic Search so that you can search all the raw telemetry such as page views, as well as the trace log calls that you can insert. This makes it a lot easier to find and follow chains of events in your app. So for example, if you inserted some log4Net, NLog or System.Diagnostics trace calls in your app, you can easily see which user requests are triggering them, and tie them up to any custom event calls you’ve set up.
And we added a nice block graph summarizing the search results over recent history.
But please note that on October 9th we’ll be releasing a new SDK – you’ll have to download it and redeploy your apps in order to keep searching diagnostic logs (Trace). Other event types will continue to work as usual.
