Hi @azure mv Yes, it is possible to track user activity within your Azure web app.

You can use Application Insights, a feature of Azure Monitor, to analyze user, session, and event data. Here’s how it works:

• Users tool: Counts users using anonymous IDs stored in browser cookies
• Sessions tool: Tracks sessions of user activity that include certain pages and features of your app
• Events tool: Counts page views when a browser loads a page from your app, and custom events represent occurrences of something happening in your app

You can also explore different groups of users by adjusting the query options at the top of the Users tool

You can add the App Insights SDK to your React app. This will let you track page views, user flows, exceptions etc. You can then analyze the telemetry in the Azure Portal.

Remember, you need to instrument your pages to generate the necessary telemetry. If you’re not seeing any data in the Users, Sessions, or Events panes in the Application Insights portal, you may need to check your setup.

Please note that this will give you aggregated data. If you need to track individual users, you might need to implement authenticated IDs.

Hope that helps.
