## Best Practices
1. **Use workspace-based** — Workspace-based App Insights is the current standard
2. **Link to Log Analytics** — Store data in Log Analytics for better querying
3. **Set appropriate retention** — Balance cost vs. data availability
4. **Use sampling** — Reduce costs for high-volume applications
5. **Store connection string securely** — Use Key Vault or managed identity
6. **Enable multiple test locations** — For accurate availability monitoring
7. **Use workbooks** — For custom dashboards and analysis
8. **Set up alerts** — Based on availability tests and metrics
9. **Tag resources** — For cost allocation and organization
10. **Use private endpoints** — For secure data ingestion
## Error Handling
```csharp
using Azure;
try
{
ArmOperation<ApplicationInsightsComponentResource> operation = await components
.CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "my-appinsights", data);
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex) when (ex.Status == 409)
{
Console.WriteLine("Component already exists");
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex) when (ex.Status == 400)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Invalid configuration: {ex.Message}");
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Azure error: {ex.Status} - {ex.Message}");
}
```
## SDK Integration
Use the connection string with Application Insights SDK:
```csharp
// Program.cs in ASP.NET Core
builder.Services.AddApplicationInsightsTelemetry(options =>
{
options.ConnectionString = configuration["ApplicationInsights:ConnectionString"];
});
// Or set via environment variable
// APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING=InstrumentationKey=...;IngestionEndpoint=...
```
