Azure App Insights Vs Log Analytics. The easiest way to think about it is that azure monitor is the marketing name, whereas log analytics is the technology that powers it. Or do i create my own log analytics workspace.
Application insights have an instrumentation key which we need to configure into our function app i.e. Application insights collect telemetry data from connected apps and provides live metrics, log analytics, etc. Let’s start from the final part of the integration and walk our way back.
Azure monitor for azure cosmos db is also now ga, where you can access insights on usage, failures, capacity, throughput, and operations for your azure cosmos db resources across subscriptions.
In the azure portal, this is fairly straight forward. You will need to create azure app insights to use it to monitor your app. The basic building block is a workspace, which lives in one region in azure. At high level, to collect and analyze telemetry data it includes log analytics suite and application insights.
