Hi Ajay,

The image you've provided appears to be a comparison table between the ResourceType for Continuous Export and the Category Type for Diagnostics Settings in Application Insights. As I understand your query, the question marks show where you're not quite sure what matches up with what.

So In Application Insights, Continuous Export was a feature that allowed you to continuously export telemetry data to an Azure storage account. Diagnostics Settings is a feature that allows you to send telemetry data to other destinations, such as Log Analytics, Event Hubs, or an Azure storage account. The ResourceType in Continuous Export and the Category Type in Diagnostics Settings are similar but might not always have a one-to-one mapping because the Diagnostics Settings feature offers more granular control over what data is exported. However, I could provide you some general info on this.

• Messages: These usually represent trace data. In Diagnostics Settings, trace data can be found under the category type AppTraces.
• PageViewPerformance: This data includes performance metrics related to page views. In Diagnostics Settings, this is typically represented as AppPageViewPerformance.
• Rdd: RDD stands for Remote Dependency Data, which includes dependencies like HTTP calls, SQL queries, etc. In Diagnostics Settings, this type of data is usually represented as AppDependencies.

It's important to note that the exact naming conventions might differ based on the version of Application Insights or the Azure portal updates. If you have access to the Azure portal, you can navigate to your Application Insights resource and check the Diagnostics Settings to see the available categories for export. These categories will give you the exact naming used in the Diagnostics Settings for the types of records you're interested in and hope will help you with your query?
