Microsoft Application Insights JavaScript SDK Channel
@microsoft/applicationinsights-channel-js is a JavaScript library that provides a channel for sending telemetry data to the Application Insights service. It is part of the larger Application Insights SDK and is used to manage the transmission of telemetry data, including batching, retry policies, and endpoint management.
Telemetry Data Transmission
This feature allows you to send telemetry data to the Application Insights service. The code sample demonstrates how to create a Sender instance and send a custom event with properties.
const { Sender } = require('@microsoft/applicationinsights-channel-js');
const sender = new Sender();
sender.send({
name: 'customEvent',
properties: { key: 'value' }
});
Batching Telemetry Data
This feature allows you to configure batching of telemetry data to optimize network usage. The code sample shows how to configure the Sender with a maximum batch size and interval.
const { Sender } = require('@microsoft/applicationinsights-channel-js');
const sender = new Sender({
maxBatchSizeInBytes: 102400,
maxBatchInterval: 15000
});
sender.send({
name: 'customEvent',
properties: { key: 'value' }
});
Retry Policies
This feature allows you to configure retry policies for sending telemetry data. The code sample demonstrates how to set the maximum number of retries and the interval between retries.
const { Sender } = require('@microsoft/applicationinsights-channel-js');
const sender = new Sender({
maxRetries: 3,
retryInterval: 1000
});
sender.send({
name: 'customEvent',
properties: { key: 'value' }
});
Winston is a popular logging library for Node.js that supports multiple transports for logging messages, including console, file, and HTTP. Unlike @microsoft/applicationinsights-channel-js, which is focused on telemetry data for Application Insights, Winston is a general-purpose logging library.
Log4js is another logging library for Node.js that provides a variety of appenders for logging messages to different destinations, such as files, console, and remote servers. It is similar to Winston and serves a broader logging purpose compared to the specialized telemetry focus of @microsoft/applicationinsights-channel-js.
Bunyan is a simple and fast JSON logging library for Node.js. It is designed for high-performance logging and provides features like log levels, serializers, and streams. Bunyan is more focused on general logging needs, whereas @microsoft/applicationinsights-channel-js is specialized for telemetry data transmission to Application Insights.
