@vscode/extension-telemetry
Advanced tools
A module for Visual Studio Code extensions to report consistent telemetry.
This module provides a consistent way for extensions to report telemetry over Application Insights. The module respects the user's decision about whether or not to send telemetry data. See telemetry extension guidelines for more information on using telemetry in your extension.
Follow guide to set up Application Insights in Azure and get your connection string. Don't worry about hardcoding it, it is not sensitive.
With npm:
npm install @vscode/extension-telemetry
With yarn:
yarn add @vscode/extension-telemetry
import * as vscode from 'vscode';
import TelemetryReporter from '@vscode/extension-telemetry';
// the connection string
const connectionString = '<your connection string>';
// telemetry reporter
let reporter;
function activate(context: vscode.ExtensionContext) {
// create telemetry reporter on extension activation
reporter = new TelemetryReporter(connectionString);
// ensure it gets properly disposed. Upon disposal the events will be flushed
context.subscriptions.push(reporter);
}
Use this method for sending general events to App Insights.
// send event any time after activation
reporter.sendTelemetryEvent('sampleEvent', { 'stringProp': 'some string' }, { 'numericMeasure': 123 });
Use this method for sending error telemetry as traditional events to App Insights. This method will automatically drop error properties in certain environments for first party extensions. The last parameter is an optional list of case-sensitive properties that should be dropped. If no array is passed, we will drop all properties but still send the event.
// send an error event any time after activation
reporter.sendTelemetryErrorEvent('sampleErrorEvent', { 'stringProp': 'some string', 'stackProp': 'some user stack trace' }, { 'numericMeasure': 123 }, [ 'stackProp' ]);
