Packages available here.

Basic Usage

Setup

import { AppInsightsCore, IExtendedConfiguration } from '@microsoft/1ds-core-js';

var appInsightsCore: AppInsightsCore = new AppInsightsCore();
var coreConfig: IExtendedConfiguration = {
      instrumentationKey: "YOUR_TENANT_KEY"
};
//Initialize SDK
appInsightsCore.initialize(coreConfig, []);

Configuration

IExtendedConfiguration

Config	Description	Type
instrumentationKey	Instrumentation key of resource.	string
diagnosticLogInterval	Polling interval (in ms) for internal logging queue.	number
maxMessageLimit	Maximum number of iKey transmitted logging telemetry per page view.	number
loggingLevelConsole	Console logging level. All logs with a severity level higher than the configured level will be printed to console. Otherwise they are suppressed.	number
loggingLevelTelemetry	Telemtry logging level to instrumentation key. All logs with a severity level higher than the configured level will sent as telemetry data to the configured instrumentation key.	number
enableDebugExceptions	If enabled, uncaught exceptions will be thrown to help with debugging.	boolean
endpointUrl	Endpoint where telemetry data is sent.	string
extensionConfig	Extension configs loaded in SDK.	[key: string]: any;
extensions	Additional plugins that should be loaded by core at runtime.	Array< ITelemetryPlugin>
channels	Channel queues that is setup by caller in desired order.	Array< IChannelControls[]>
propertyStorageOverride	The property storage override that should be used to store internal SDK properties, otherwise stored as cookies. It is needed where cookies are not available.	IPropertyStorageOverride
cookieCfg	Defaults to cookie usage enabled see ICookieCfgConfig settings for full defaults.	ICookieCfgConfig [Optional] (Since 3.1.0)
disableCookiesUsage	A boolean that indicated whether to disable the use of cookies by the Aria SDK. The cookies added by the SDK are MicrosoftApplicationsTelemetryDeviceId and MicrosoftApplicationsTelemetryFirstLaunchTime. If cookies are disabled, then session events are not sent unless propertyStorageOverride is provided to store the values elsewhere.	boolean
cookieDomain	Custom cookie domain. This is helpful if you want to share Application Insights cookies across subdomains. (Since v3.1.0) If cookieCfg.domain is defined it will take precedence over this value.	alias for cookieCfg.domain [Optional] (Since 3.1.0)
cookiePath	Custom cookie path. This is helpful if you want to share Application Insights cookies behind an application gateway. If cookieCfg.path is defined it will take precedence over this value.	alias for cookieCfg.path [Optional] (Since 3.1.0)
anonCookieName	Name of the Anon cookie. The value will be set in the qsp header to collector requests. Collector will use this value to look for specific cookie to use for anid property.	string
enablePerfMgr	[Optional] When enabled (true) this will create local perfEvents for code that has been instrumented to emit perfEvents (via the doPerf() helper). This can be used to identify performance issues within the SDK based on your usage or optionally within your own instrumented code. More details are available by the basic documentation. Since v2.4.0	boolean Defaults to false
perfEvtsSendAll	[Optional] When enablePerfMgr is enabled and the IPerfManager fires a INotificationManager.perfEvent() this flag determines whether an event is fired (and sent to all listeners) for all events (true) or only for 'parent' events (false <default>). A parent IPerfEvent is an event where no other IPerfEvent is still running at the point of this event being created and it's parent property is not null or undefined. Since v2.4.0	boolean Defaults to false
idLength	[Optional] Identifies the default length used to generate new random session and user id's. Defaults to 22, previous default value was 5 (v2.4.2 or less), if you need to keep the previous maximum length you should set this value to 5.	number Default: 22
disableEventTimings	[Optional] Disables additional internal event timings that are added during processing of events, the timings are not sent as part telemetry items to the server.	boolean Default: false
enableCompoundKey	[Optional] Enables support for objects with compound keys which indirectly represent an object where the "key" of the object contains a "." as part of it's name. Example: event: { "somedata.embeddedvalue": 123 }	boolean Default: false
disablePageUnloadEvents	[Optional] An array of the page unload events that you would like to be ignored, special note there must be at least one valid unload event hooked, if you list all or the runtime environment only supports a listed "disabled" event it will still be hooked, if required by the SDK. Unload events include "beforeunload", "unload", "visibilitychange" (with 'hidden' state) and "pagehide"	string[] Default: not specified
disablePageShowEvents	[Optional] An array of page show events that you would like to be ignored, special note there must be at lease one valid show event hooked, if you list all or the runtime environment only supports a listed (disabled) event it will STILL be hooked, if required by the SDK. Page Show events include "pageshow" and "visibilitychange" (with 'visible' state)	string[] Default: not specified

IPropertyStorageOverride

Config	Description	Type
setProperty	A function for passing key value pairs to be stored.	function
getProperty	A function that gets a value for a given key.	function

ICookieMgrConfig

Cookie Configuration for instance based cookie management added in version 3.1.0.

Name	Description	Type
enabled	A boolean that indicates whether the use of cookies by the SDK is enabled by the current instance. If false, the instance of the SDK initialized by this configuration will not store or read any data from cookies	boolean
domain	Custom cookie domain. This is helpful if you want to share Application Insights cookies across subdomains. If not provided uses the value from root cookieDomain value.	string Defaults: null
path	Specifies the path to use for the cookie, if not provided it will use any value from the root cookiePath value.	string Defaults: /
ignoreCookies	Specify the cookie name(s) to be ignored, this will cause any matching cookie name to never be read or written. They may still be explicitly purged or deleted. You do not need to repeat the name in the blockedCookies configuration.(Since v3.2.7)	string[] Defaults: undefined
blockedCookies	Specify the cookie name(s) to never be written, this will cause any cookie name to never be created or updated, they will still be read unless also included in the ignoreCookies and may still be explicitly purged or deleted. If not provided defaults to the same list provided in ignoreCookies. (Since v3.2.7)	string[] Defaults: undefined
getCookie	Function to fetch the named cookie value, if not provided it will use the internal cookie parsing / caching.	(name: string) => string Defaults: null
setCookie	Function to set the named cookie with the specified value, only called when adding or updating a cookie.	(name: string, value: string) => void Defaults: null
delCookie	Function to delete the named cookie with the specified value, separated from setCookie to avoid the need to parse the value to determine whether the cookie is being added or removed.if not provided it will use the internal cookie parsing / caching.	(name: string, value: string) => void Defaults: null

Cookie Handling

From version 3.1.0, cookie management is now available directly from the instance and can be disabled and re-enabled after initialization.

If cookie usage is disabled during initialization via the disableCookiesUsage configurations, you can now re-enable via the ICookieMgr setEnabled function.

The instance based cookie management also replaces the previous CoreUtils and global functions of disableCookies(), setCookie(...), getCookie(...) and deleteCookie(...). And to benefit from the tree-shaking enhancements also introduced as part of version 3.1.0 you should no longer uses the global functions.

Simplified Usage of new instance Cookie Manager

• oneDs.getCookieMgr().setEnabled(true/false)
• oneDs.getCookieMgr().set("MyCookie", "thevalue");
• oneDs.getCookieMgr().get("MyCookie");
• oneDs.getCookieMgr().del("MyCookie");

Blocking individual cookies

Since v3.2.7 you can now specify which Cookie name(s) that you want the SDK to either ignore (never read, written or created) or blocked (will be read if already present but will not write or create), this is useful for blocking non-critical Cookies that your site does not need but the SDK automatically populates. These settings only affect the Javascript SDK reading, writing and creation of the cookies and do NOT affect automatic cookies added by the Collector. See the "Cookies Set/Read by 1DS Web SDK" section of the linked page.

Example.

var coreConfig: IExtendedConfiguration = {
    instrumentationKey: "YOUR_TENANT_KEY",
    cookieCfg: {
        ignoreCookies: [ "MicrosoftApplicationsTelemetryDeviceId" ]
    }
    extensions: [ /* Your extensions */ ],
    extensionConfig: []
};
