We have multiple app insights where many of our app services are logging. As part of cloud operations, we want to enable the sampling of these app insights logs and thus save costs.
Is there way to configure alert or any API where I can directly fetch the APP Insights data sampling configured value ??
@Manuj Gupta Welcome to Microsoft Q&A, thanks for your query.
Our sincere apologies for delay in getting to this thread. Trying to better understand your query , so that we can help you accordingly.
What kind of application are you running, and have you already enabled data sampling in Application Insights ? if yes, which kind of sampling you have enabled ?
And you are trying to understand if we can fetch via API/alerting what data sampling is enabled for a given Application Insights instance and what is associated threshold value set for it ?
Additional documentation reference on data sampling in Application Insights.
Looking forward to hear back from you. Thank you
Currently, I found the below query to check on Sampling and alert if it is more than the configured threshold.
