Workbooks in Application Insights are a powerful tool for guided investigations, data analysis, & rich visualizations.

 

We’ve updated the Application Insights Workbooks resource type to match the resource type used by all other Azure Workbooks so our users can take full advantage of all the functionality provided by Workbooks. The new Workbook resources can be queried via Azure Resource Graph, support ARM templates, saved in the region of your choice, & more!

 

To take advantage of these new features & preserve your favorite reports please convert your existing workbooks by June 30, 2021.

 

 

Conversion steps to take:

  • Open the desired workbook
  • Select the ‘Edit’ option
  • Then click ‘Save as’
  • Enter the workbook’s name
  • Select a subscription, resource group, & region where you have write access
  • Delete the legacy workbook

(Optional)

  • Update links in other workbooks to use your new version

See this documentation for in-depth conversion guidance and more information about the upcoming change!

    Hi, Great article very useful. We are unable to perform the step "Delete the legacy workbook" after doing the copy to the workspace. The delete option is greyed out. I'd also be interested in a PowerShell / Azure CLI method to do the copy and delete operations in bulk. Thanks,
