Creating application insights with azure cli
If you need to associate the generated instrumentation key with another resource, such as a function app, you can use grep
and xargs
as follows:
# Creates insights component for monitoring. Note generated instrumentation key
# is set in function app.
az resource create \
--resource-group ${RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME} \
--resource-type "Microsoft.Insights/components" \
--name ${FUNCTION_APP_NAME} \
--location ${LOCATION} \
--properties '{"Application_Type":"web"}' \
| grep -Po "\"InstrumentationKey\": \K\".*\"" \
| xargs -I % az functionapp config appsettings set \
--name ${FUNCTION_APP_NAME} \
--resource-group ${RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME} \
--settings "APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY = %"
The az monitor app-insights component provide commands for creating, inspecting modifying, and deleting application insights components from the command line.
