Ingest data from Azure App Insights

[Naserati]

I have some metrics in AppInsights that I would like to pull into Dynatrace. These metrics ('customMetrics', 'customEvents') are not available readily in dynatrace. I know about the ingest API. So supposedly by calling ingest API I can push these metrics into dynatrace. But where and how in AppInsights do I call this API to push the metrics? Thank you.

Hi @Naserati

if the metrics you are looking for do not appear in this list, you may try to write a script( or for an Extension you may also try and contact extensions@dynatrace.com) that retrieves the desired metrics from AppInsights you want and using the Dynatrace metrics endpoint POST the values there.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Mark
