# opentelemetry-application-insights

An [Azure Application Insights](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/app-insights-overview) exporter implementation for [OpenTelemetry Rust](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-rust).

**Disclaimer**: This is not an official Microsoft product.

## Usage

Configure a OpenTelemetry pipeline using the Application Insights exporter and start creating spans (this example requires the **opentelemetry-http/reqwest** feature):

```rust,no_run

use opentelemetry::trace::Tracer as _;

fn main() {

    let connection_string = std::env::var("APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING").unwrap();

    let tracer = opentelemetry_application_insights::new_pipeline_from_connection_string(connection_string)

        .expect("valid connection string")

        .with_client(reqwest::blocking::Client::new())

        .install_simple();

    tracer.in_span("main", |_cx| {});

}

```

## Application Insights integration

### Thanks

Huge thanks goes to [Denis Molokanov](https://github.com/dmolokanov) for the amazing [appinsights](https://github.com/dmolokanov/appinsights-rs) crate. Check it out if you want a more direct integration with Application Insights.

### Documentation

The only official documentation I could find is this one. Follow the links to see the data model and endpoint description.

> We recommend you use our SDKs and use the [SDK API](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/api-custom-events-metrics). There are variants of the SDK for various [platforms](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/platforms). These SDKs handle buffering, compression, throttling, retries, and so on. However, the [ingestion schema](https://github.com/microsoft/ApplicationInsights-dotnet/tree/master/BASE/Schema/PublicSchema) and [endpoint protocol](https://github.com/Microsoft/ApplicationInsights-Home/blob/master/EndpointSpecs/ENDPOINT-PROTOCOL.md) are public.
