Azure – Create ApplicationInsight TelemetryConfiguration without config file

I dont know if it’s posssible to create full TelemetryConfiguration without applicationInsight.config

I see there are TelemetryInitializers.Add it working well

but nothing for the configs

  • TelemetryModules (present in config file but not on the class)
  • DefaultTelemetrySink.TelemetryProcessors (present in the config file but there are no Add method in the class)

I serarched everywhere for an example of complete configuration via code but did not find anything. I want to get rid of the config file, because I want to use the TelemetryConfiguration in a common library. And don’t want to pupulate many config files in end up librairies.

I looking in debug mode and seen many differences between class obtained with TelemetryConfiguration.CreateDefault() when I have the config file obtained from nuget package, and the one obtained when I have no config file. This is the reason of my question.

what I have sofar

internal class ApplicationInsightConfig
{
   public TelemetryConfiguration Config { get; }

   public ApplicationInsightConfig()
   {
      Config = TelemetryConfiguration.CreateDefault();
      Config.InstrumentationKey = ConfigurationManager.GetSetting(new ConfigKey("ApplicationInsightKey"));
      Config.ApplicationIdProvider = new ApplicationInsightsApplicationIdProvider();
      Config.TelemetryChannel.DeveloperMode = false;
      DefineTelemetryInitializers();
      DefineDefaultTelemetrySink();
   }

   private void DefineDefaultTelemetrySink()
   {
      var tp = Config.DefaultTelemetrySink.TelemetryProcessors;
      Config.DefaultTelemetrySink.TelemetryChannel = new ServerTelemetryChannel();
   }

   private void DefineTelemetryInitializers()
   {
      Config.TelemetryInitializers.Add(new AzureAppServiceRoleNameFromHostNameHeaderInitializer());
      Config.TelemetryInitializers.Add(new HttpDependenciesParsingTelemetryInitializer());
      Config.TelemetryInitializers.Add(new AzureRoleEnvironmentTelemetryInitializer());
      Config.TelemetryInitializers.Add(new BuildInfoConfigComponentVersionTelemetryInitializer());
      Config.TelemetryInitializers.Add(new WebTestTelemetryInitializer());
      Config.TelemetryInitializers.Add(new SyntheticUserAgentTelemetryInitializer { Filters = "search|spider|crawl|Bot|Monitor|AlwaysOn" });
      Config.TelemetryInitializers.Add(new ClientIpHeaderTelemetryInitializer());
      Config.TelemetryInitializers.Add(new OperationNameTelemetryInitializer());
      Config.TelemetryInitializers.Add(new UserTelemetryInitializer());
      Config.TelemetryInitializers.Add(new AuthenticatedUserIdTelemetryInitializer());
      Config.TelemetryInitializers.Add(new AccountIdTelemetryInitializer());
      Config.TelemetryInitializers.Add(new SessionTelemetryInitializer());
   }
}

Thank you for help!

    For those how want te final version here is the code :

    //-------------------------------------------------------------
// Transcription code of the default ApplicationInsight.config
//-------------------------------------------------------------
internal class ApplicationInsightConfig
{
   public static TelemetryConfiguration Setup()
   {
      var config = TelemetryConfiguration.CreateDefault();

      config.InstrumentationKey = ConfigurationManager.GetSetting(new ConfigKey("ApplicationInsightKey"));
      config.TelemetryChannel = new ServerTelemetryChannel { DeveloperMode = false };

      //Setup TelemetryInitializers...
      InitTelemetryInitializer(config);

      //Setup Modules
      InitTelemetryModules(config);

      //Setup TelemetryProcessor
      InitTelemetryProcessor(config.TelemetryProcessorChainBuilder);

      return config;
   }

   private static void InitTelemetryProcessor(TelemetryProcessorChainBuilder builder)
   {
      builder.Use(next => new QuickPulseTelemetryProcessor(next));
      builder.Use(next => new AutocollectedMetricsExtractor(next));
      builder.Use(next => new AdaptiveSamplingTelemetryProcessor(next) { MaxTelemetryItemsPerSecond = 5, ExcludedTypes = "Event" });
      builder.Use(next => new AdaptiveSamplingTelemetryProcessor(next) {MaxTelemetryItemsPerSecond = 5, IncludedTypes = "Event"});
      builder.Build();
   }

   private static void InitTelemetryModules(TelemetryConfiguration config)
   {
      new DependencyTrackingTelemetryModule
      {
         ExcludeComponentCorrelationHttpHeadersOnDomains =
         {

         }
      }.Initialize(config);
      new ExceptionTrackingTelemetryModule().Initialize(config);
      new AspNetDiagnosticTelemetryModule().Initialize(config);
   }

   private static void InitTelemetryInitializer(TelemetryConfiguration config)

      config.TelemetryInitializers.Add(new AccountIdTelemetryInitializer());
      config.TelemetryInitializers.Add(new SessionTelemetryInitializer());
   }
}

    I think you are on the right track. Setting the telemetry channel could be done slightly different:

    TelemetryConfiguration config = TelemetryConfiguration.CreateDefault();
config.InstrumentationKey = ConfigurationManager.GetSetting(new ConfigKey("ApplicationInsightKey"));
config.TelemetryChannel = new ServerTelemetryChannel { DeveloperMode = false };

    Telemetry modules all implement ITelemetryModule, which defines a void Initialize(TelemetryConfiguration configuration) method to wire up the module:

    var module = new UnhandledExceptionTelemetryModule();
module.Initialize(config);

    Telemetry processors can be added using the TelemetryProcessorChainBuilder:

    var builder = config.TelemetryProcessorChainBuilder;
builder.Use(next => new AdaptiveSamplingTelemetryProcessor(next));
builder.Build();

    Then the final step is to use the config:

    var telemetryClient = new TelemetryClient(config);
