Provide documentation on integrating AI with service fabric

[brahmnes]

Hi @balukantu,
Have you looked at the readme on https://github.com/Microsoft/ApplicationInsights-ServiceFabric#net-core?
Do you have more specific questions? Which part are you stuck on?

[yantang-msft]

@balukantu It depends on your project, whether it's a console app, or ASP .Net, or ASP .Net Core?
The Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.ServiceFabric.Native is an additive package and needs extra configuration, which is documented at here

[balukantu]

@yantang-msft , I have service fabric application with one stateful service and one stateless service.

@yantang-msft and @brahmnes ,

I already have gone through the documentation which they have provided. I have done below steps and stuck in the middle.

Can you check and update me If I miss anything.

Installed Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.ServiceFabric.Native
ApplicationInsights.XML file is added with the necessary configuration.
In My Service, I have added below code.
Stateless Service

protected override IEnumerable CreateServiceInstanceListeners()
{
FabricTelemetryInitializerExtension.SetServiceCallContext(this.Context);

return new ServiceInstanceListener[]
{
    new ServiceInstanceListener(serviceContext => new OwinCommunicationListener(Startup.ConfigureApp, serviceContext, ServiceEventSource.Current, "ServiceEndpoint"))
};

}
Stateful Service

protected override Task RunAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
FabricTelemetryInitializerExtension.SetServiceCallContext(this.Context);

return base.RunAsync(cancellationToken);

}

4. Startup cntroller, I have added snippet

TelemetryClient telemetryClient = new TelemetryClient(new Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Extensibility.TelemetryConfiguration("a263b486-09f1-43f5-ac9d-8fb7cb81377e"));

        telemetryClient.TrackEvent("Application Insights");

5. Howevere, I am unable to see logs in application insights.

I have a couple of questions.

How to configure Instrumentation key from ApplicationInsights.XML ( as per documentation)
How to log messages with different security levels. And, If you find any solution which is using application insights using above Nuget. Please do share the location or Uri.

@balukantu Here is the full reference of the ApplicationInsights.config file. So basically, you don't need step #4.
You want to use TraceTrace instead of TraceEvent so as to specify the severity level.
And here is one example SF app that may help you get started with the configuration.

Hi @balukantu,

Can you tell us if you are using ASP.NET core or ASP.NET?
Initialization of ApplicationInsights can be different depending on the project type.

[balukantu]

@brahmnes I am developing native fabric application (.Net Framework)

[brahmnes]

Hi @balukantu,

Even a fabric application can use ASP.NET or ASP.NET core.
Here is a question: Does your project have web.config in it? If you look at the packages.config file, does it have references to Microsoft.AspNet.* packages?

The fact that you are using OwinCommunicationListener suggests to me that you may be using Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Owin, but I am not sure.

[balukantu]

@brahmnes , Yes, I have below references and I am using OwinCommunicationListener.
<package id="Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client" version="5.2.6" targetFramework="net461" /> <package id="Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Core" version="5.2.6" targetFramework="net461" /> <package id="Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Owin" version="5.2.6" targetFramework="net462" /> <package id="Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.OwinSelfHost" version="5.2.6" targetFramework="net462" />

[brahmnes]

@balukantu,
I suspect you just haven't enabled Application Insights for your OWIN app.
