What it does

Azure Mgmt Applicationinsights Dotnet is an agent skill from microsoft/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Azure Application Insights SDK for .NET. Application performance monitoring and observability resource management. Use for creating Application Insights components, web tests, workbooks, analytics items, and API keys. Triggers: "Application Insights", "ApplicationInsights", "App Insights", "APM", "application monitoring", "web tests", "availability tests", "workbooks".

Its SKILL.md is about 4.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Monitoring and alerting and Observability. It works with Microsoft Azure, .NET and Azure Monitor. The repository describes itself as: Skills, MCP servers, Custom Agents, Agents.md for SDKs to ground Coding Agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating Application Insights components
  • Analytics items

Example prompts

  • “Application Insights”
  • “ApplicationInsights”
  • “App Insights”
  • “/azure-mgmt-applicationinsights-dotnet”

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Create Application Insights Component (Workspace-based)
  2. Get Connection String and Keys
  3. Create API Key
  4. Create Web Test (Availability Test)
  5. Create Multi-Step Web Test
  6. Create Workbook
  7. Link Storage Account
  8. List and Manage Components
  9. Update Component
  10. Delete Resources

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3898ec8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • dotnet

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • learn.microsoft.com
    • microsoft.com

    Also links to:

    • nuget.org
    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Azure Mgmt Applicationinsights Dotnet loads about 4.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 341 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~102
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Core Workflows

1. Create Application Insights Component (Workspace-based)
csharp
using Azure.ResourceManager.ApplicationInsights;
using Azure.ResourceManager.ApplicationInsights.Models;

ResourceGroupResource resourceGroup = await client
    .GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync()
    .Result
    .GetResourceGroupAsync("my-resource-group");

ApplicationInsightsComponentCollection components = resourceGroup.GetApplicationInsightsComponents();

// Workspace-based Application Insights (recommended)
ApplicationInsightsComponentData data = new ApplicationInsightsComponentData(
    AzureLocation.EastUS,
    ApplicationInsightsApplicationType.Web)
{
    Kind = "web",
    WorkspaceResourceId = new ResourceIdentifier(
        "/subscriptions/<sub-id>/resourceGroups/<rg>/providers/Microsoft.OperationalInsights/workspaces/<workspace-name>"),
    IngestionMode = IngestionMode.LogAnalytics,
    PublicNetworkAccessForIngestion = PublicNetworkAccessType.Enabled,

};

// Note: Workbook ID should be a new GUID
string workbookId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();

ArmOperation<WorkbookResource> operation = await workbooks
    .CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, workbookId, workbookData);

WorkbookResource workbook = operation.Value;
Console.WriteLine($"Workbook created: {workbook.Data.DisplayName}");
csharp
ApplicationInsightsComponentResource component = await resourceGroup

    LinkedStorageAccount = new ResourceIdentifier(
        "/subscriptions/<sub-id>/resourceGroups/<rg>/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/<storage-account>")
};

ArmOperation<ComponentLinkedStorageAccountResource> operation = await linkedStorage
    .CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, StorageType.ServiceProfiler, storageData);
8. List and Manage Components
csharp
// List all Application Insights components in resource group
await foreach (ApplicationInsightsComponentResource component in 
    resourceGroup.GetApplicationInsightsComponents())
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Component: {component.Data.Name}");
    Console.WriteLine($"  App ID: {component.Data.AppId}");
    Console.WriteLine($"  Type: {component.Data.ApplicationType}");
    Console.WriteLine($"  Ingestion Mode: {component.Data.IngestionMode}");
    Console.WriteLine($"  Retention: {component.Data.RetentionInDays} days");
}

// List web tests
await foreach (WebTestResource webTest in resourceGroup.GetWebTests())
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Web Test: {webTest.Data.WebTestName}");
    Console.WriteLine($"  Enabled: {webTest.Data.IsEnabled}");
    Console.WriteLine($"  Frequency: {webTest.Data.Frequency}s");
}

// List workbooks
await foreach (WorkbookResource workbook in resourceGroup.GetWorkbooks())
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Workbook: {workbook.Data.DisplayName}");
}
9. Update Component
csharp
ApplicationInsightsComponentResource component = await resourceGroup
    .GetApplicationInsightsComponentAsync("my-appinsights");

// Update using full data (PUT operation)
ApplicationInsightsComponentData updateData = component.Data;
updateData.RetentionInDays = 180;
updateData.SamplingPercentage = 50;
updateData.Tags["updated"] = "true";

ArmOperation<ApplicationInsightsComponentResource> operation = await resourceGroup
    .GetApplicationInsightsComponents()
    .CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "my-appinsights", updateData);
10. Delete Resources
csharp
// Delete Application Insights component
ApplicationInsightsComponentResource component = await resourceGroup
    .GetApplicationInsightsComponentAsync("my-appinsights");
await component.DeleteAsync(WaitUntil.Completed);

// Delete web test
WebTestResource webTest = await resourceGroup.GetWebTestAsync("webtest-homepage");
await webTest.DeleteAsync(WaitUntil.Completed);

Best Practices

  1. Use workspace-based — Workspace-based App Insights is the current standard
  2. Link to Log Analytics — Store data in Log Analytics for better querying
  3. Set appropriate retention — Balance cost vs. data availability
  4. Use sampling — Reduce costs for high-volume applications
  5. Store connection string securely — Use Key Vault or managed identity
  6. Enable multiple test locations — For accurate availability monitoring
  7. Use workbooks — For custom dashboards and analysis
  8. Set up alerts — Based on availability tests and metrics
  9. Tag resources — For cost allocation and organization
  10. Use private endpoints — For secure data ingestion

Error Handling

csharp
using Azure;

try
{
    ArmOperation<ApplicationInsightsComponentResource> operation = await components
        .CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "my-appinsights", data);
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex) when (ex.Status == 409)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Component already exists");
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex) when (ex.Status == 400)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Invalid configuration: {ex.Message}");
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Azure error: {ex.Status} - {ex.Message}");
}

SDK Integration

Use the connection string with Application Insights SDK:

csharp
// Program.cs in ASP.NET Core
builder.Services.AddApplicationInsightsTelemetry(options =>
{
    options.ConnectionString = configuration["ApplicationInsights:ConnectionString"];
});

// Or set via environment variable
// APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING=InstrumentationKey=...;IngestionEndpoint=...
