Application Insights and API Management

Question

Hello,

Would it be possible to add "API Name" dimension to the signals from AI when integrated with APIM (e.g. Server response time, Failed requests, etc)?

We're asking because currently we're using a Custom log search approach to monitor the response time per API in APIM, but unfortunately these alerts are not auto-resolvable (this feature is in preview and it doesn't work consistently, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/457852/stateful-custom-log-alerts-not-resolved.html), and also they take at least 30 minutes to resolve (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/alerts/alerts-unified-log#state-and-resolving-alerts).

If this is currently not possible, what is the best channel to request this feature?

Thank you,
Cosmin

@Cosmin Stirbu - Post discussion with our internal team it has been called out that "Add operation name dimension" is on the roadmap for standard metrics. As a workaround, you can explore the same metric from log-based namespace. It has dimension called as "Operation Name".

Hope this information helps. Please let us know if you have any further queries. Thank you.
