# app-insights-event-action

Sometimes a DevOps engineer wants to see changes to the deployment infrastructure on the observability dashboard, so that the changes can be correlated with resource usages or increases in errors. This [composite run steps GitHub Action](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/creating-a-composite-run-steps-action) is a rudimentary attempt to solve that challenge by allowing you to send events to Azure Application Insights. Each event will be sent with some [default GitHub environment variables](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/environment-variables#default-environment-variables). Full example usage of this action can be seen in [this repository](https://github.com/syedhassaanahmed/test-app-insights-event-action).

## Usage

```yaml

      - name: "AppInsights: Begin Terraform"

        uses: syedhassaanahmed/app-insights-event-action@main

        with:

          instrumentation-key: "${{ secrets.APP_INSIGHTS_KEY }}"

          event-name: "begin-provision-azure"

      - name: "Terraform Apply"

        run: terraform apply -auto-approve

      - name: "AppInsights: End Terraform"

        uses: syedhassaanahmed/app-insights-event-action@main

        with:

          instrumentation-key: "${{ secrets.APP_INSIGHTS_KEY }}"

          event-name: "end-provision-azure"

```

Here is an example of measuring duration between above 2 events in App Insights

```sql

let events = customEvents

| project timestamp, name, run_number = toint(customDimensions.run_number);

let begins = events | where name == "begin-provision-azure" | project-rename beginTime = timestamp;

let ends = events | where name == "end-provision-azure" | project-rename endTime = timestamp;

begins | join ends on run_number

| project run_number, durationInSeconds = datetime_diff("second", endTime, beginTime)

| order by run_number

| render columnchart

```
