Open Census with Azure App Insights
- Follow the guide here to create an Application Insights instance
- Export your instrumentation key as an environment variable:
export APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY=xxxxxxx- I use direnv and MAKE SURE that my
.envrc file is in .gitignore
- Build and run the LocalForwarder (Dockerfile in the root of this repo)
make build-forwardmake forward
Shutdown / Cleanup
Be sure to delete the App Insights Resource Group you created in the Azure Portal when you are done experimenting so you won't have a lingering billable service you're not using.
