I am using Azure Web app. As I understand there is a service within Azure that will give insight into user activity. For instance, A user is making a selection in within the app and selects "save". In the inspection mode of the browser we can clearly see this action, see screenshot. I would like to se the same information within Azure. This will give me a better understating of what the user has gone through and therefor I can help by better understanding the situation.

Unfortunately, I do not know where this service is. Any advise would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Yes, you can see the all-user activities in an Azure Application insights Portal.

In your Application Insights -> Usage panel -> Users tab we can find the user details in a chart pattern enter image description here If you want to get the detailed information you have to send the user telemetry information in a custom Telemetry in Application Insights.

  • You have to send your user information (Telemetry) to the Application Insights in both Client and Server App. For that you have to use the custom telemetry to send all your user information into Application Insights.

  • thank you for reply. What I do not understand is why I need to send telemetry separately when the backend is already receives requested from the frontend. Also the front and backend are the one and same web application. So, I am thing that the information is already in app. insight. Also, to send telemetry from the front end to application insight means I need to expose the token to the frontend, and that is a big security risk. I am looking for help for this so I still need to learn a few things, so correct me when you thing I have the wrong understanding of the material. – Phyxius Jun 23 '22 at 08:02
  • Hi @Phyxius, normally application insights collect all the telemetry data. If you want to retrieve or send specific information you have to send it to custom telemetry. – Delliganesh Sevanesan Jun 26 '22 at 10:13
