    Hello @Thirumal Rao D !

    In addition to KapilAnanth-MSFT suggestions , i would change the tone by adding that it is odd to try to access Application Insights via a WAF, at least in my eyes!

    App Insights have their own API , hosted on Azure , protected by Azure as a Managed Resource and of course you can access it by Private Endpoint for enhanced security !

    Also maybe this thread kinda helps but you are getting blocked by Anomaly Score so something is going on with the requests.
