How to Set up Application Insights: Dependency tracking
A dependency is an external component that is called by your app. It's typically a service called using HTTP, or a database, or a file system. Application Insights measures how long your application waits for dependencies and how often a dependency call fails. You can investigate specific calls, and relate them to requests and exceptions. Set up dependency monitoring Partial dependency information is collected automatically by the Application Insights SDK. To get complete data, install the appropriate agent for the host server.

Microsoft Virtual Datacenter Transition to Azure (Hybrid Cloud) Microsoft Azure Hub-Spoke Architecture This Enterprise reference architecture shows how to implement a hub-spoke topology in Azure. The hub is a virtual network (VNet) in Azure that acts as a central point of connectivity to your on-premises network. The spokes are VNets that peer with the hub, and can be used to isolate workloads. Traffic flows between the on-premises datacenter and the hub through an ExpressRoute or VPN gateway connection.

I have been asked many times how can I find out who created /deleted /modified this Azure resource. Usually I say if you are lucky, it might be show you in the Activity Log. You are never lucky it seems. Here comes Log Analytics to the rescue. In this blog post I am going to show you how to link your Azure Activity Log to Log Analytics. Lets link up In the Azure portal navigate to the Log Analytics Workspace you want the Azure Activity Logs to go to. When you are in there, click on Azure Activity Log on the left. You may have to scroll down. It’s under the heading Workspace data Sources. you can read more @ https://pixelrobots.co.uk/2018/11/how-to-monitor-azure-activity-using-azure-log-analytics/Frequently getting Azure 'Disk Queue Length GreaterThan 5' for my Web APP
Hi, I have a web app which is deployed in Azure. Yesterday an alert has triggered mentioning 'Disk Queue Length greater than 5 (Count) in the last 5 minutes' as this is Specific to Service Plan I've two Apps under the specific Service Plan. I also configured the Application Insights for each App. I need to which App is causing the issue and which operation makes the Disk Queue length getting higher. So far Investigation I tried the below query in App Insights. performanceCounters | where timestamp >ago(12hr) |top 200 by timestamp desc which gives the operations of the CPU/IO/Memory, but I've no idea how to troubleshoot it to find the root causeHow to enhance HDInsight security with service endpoints
HDInsight enterprise customers work with some of the most sensitive data in the world. They want to be able to lock down access to this data at the networking layer as well. However, while service endpoints have been available in Azure data sources, HDInsight customers couldn’t leverage this additional layer of security for their big data pipelines due to the lack of interoperability between HDInsight and other data stores. As we have recently announced, HDInsight is now excited to support service endpoints for Azure Blob Storage, Azure SQL databases and Azure Cosmos DB. We will explore how to enable service endpoints and point out important HDInsight configurations for Azure Blob Storage, Azure SQL DB, and Azure CosmosDB. Read more about it in the Azure blog.
