Data logged to app/extension telemetry

  • Grein

For an app/extension that enables telemetry, the Business Central platform emits telemetry events that happen in the context of the AL code of the app/extension. For example, you get telemetry events when users interact with pages from your app/extension, when REST APIs from your app/extension are called, or when reports from your app/extension are rendered. You get telemetry events when users get error dialogs raised in pages from your app/extension, and when your AL code consumes excessive resources on the Business Central server or database.

Currently, Business Central offers telemetry on the following operations (the column Extension support shows the types of events that are emitted to app/extension telemetry):
