Application Insights JavaScript SDK
Before Getting Started
This SDK is not for non-browser environments, for example, the Node.js applications.
For instrumenting a Node.js app, the recommended SDK is the ApplicationInsights-node.js repository.
ES3 support has been removed from the latest version (v3.x), if required see for ES3/IE8 Support
Release Versions
| Version | Details |
|---|---|
| 3.x (main) |
Current supported release from April '2023. Supports dynamic configuration changes/updates after initialization. Supports all features of v2 except with the known Breaking changes from previous versions and does NOT support the previous v1.x compatible API proxy layer, it also removes support for ES3 / IE8. Minimum supported Runtime is now ES5 (IE9+). |
| 2.x (master) |
Feature freeze from March '2023, security fixes and critical bugs only. Supports adding / removing extensions and full unloading/removal of the SDK after initialization. Last version to support ES3 (IE8+), also provides a v1.x compatible API proxy layer for upgrading from V1.x. |
| 1.0.x (legacy-v1) |
No longer actively maintained -- please Upgrade. The documentation for applicationinsights-js@1.0.x has moved here. If you are looking to upgrade to the new version of the SDK, please see the Upgrade Guide. |
💡 Note When multiple instances of Application Insights with different major version are active within a single session, errors may arise. For further details, please refer to the version conflict doc.
Getting Started
- Create an Application Insights resource in Azure by following these instructions.
- Grab the Connection String from the resource you created in
step 1. Later, you'll add it to the
connectionStringsetting of the Application Insights JavaScript SDK. - Add Application Insights to your app. There are 2 ways to do this.
-
Install via NPM. Then, set up an instance of Application Insights in your app.
Note: Typings are included with this package, so you do not need to install a separate typings package.
npm i --save @microsoft/applicationinsights-web -
Pasting a script snippet at the beginning of every
<head>tag for each page you want to monitor.
-
Basic Usage
NPM Setup (ignore if using Snippet Setup)
import { ApplicationInsights } from '@microsoft/applicationinsights-web'
const appInsights = new ApplicationInsights({ config: {
connectionString: 'YOUR_CONNECTION_STRING_GOES_HERE'
/* ...Other Configuration Options... */
} });
appInsights.loadAppInsights();
appInsights.trackPageView(); // Manually call trackPageView to establish the current user/session/pageview
Snippet Setup (Ignore if using NPM Setup)
If your app does not use NPM, you can directly instrument your webpages with Application Insights by pasting this snippet at the top of each your pages. Preferably, it should be the first script in your <head> section so that it can monitor any potential issues with all of your dependencies.
The current version of the snippet is version 7, the version is identified by the "sv:" in the script.
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
💡 Note
For readability and to reduce possible JavaScript errors, all of the possible configuration options are listed on a new line in snippet code above, if you don't want to change the value of a commented line it can be removed.
ConnectionString format should follow "InstrumentationKey=xxxx;...." If the string provided does not meet this format, the sdk load process would fail
Reporting Script load exceptions
This version of the snippet detects and reports an exception when loading the SDK from the CDN fails, this exception is reported to the Azure Monitor portal (under the failures > exceptions > browser), and provides visibility into failures of this type so that you are aware your application is not reporting telemetry (or other exceptions) as expected. This signal is an important measurement in understanding that you have lost telemetry because the SDK did not load or initialize, this provides clarity that you are missing the following telemetry:
- Under-reporting of how users are using (or trying to use) your site;
- Missing telemetry on how your end users are using your site;
- Missing JavaScript errors that could potentially be blocking your end users from successfully using your site.
For details on this exception see SDK Load Failure page.
Reporting of this failure as an exception to the portal does not use the configuration option disableExceptionTracking from the application insights configuration and therefore if this failure occurs it will always be reported by the snippet, even when the window.onerror support is disabled.
Reporting of SDK load exceptions is specifically NOT supported on IE 8 (or less). This assists with reducing the minified size of the snippet by assuming that most environments are not exclusively IE 8 or less. If you have this requirement and you wish to receive these exceptions, you will need to either include a fetch poly fill or create you own snippet version that uses XDomainRequest instead of XMLHttpRequest, it is recommended that you use the provided snippet source code as a starting point.
💡 Note
If you are using a previous version of the snippet, it is highly recommended that you update to the latest version so that you will receive these previously unreported issues.
Snippet configuration options
All configuration options have now been move towards the end of the script to help avoid accidentally introducing JavaScript errors that would not just cause the SDK to fail to load, but also it would disable the reporting of the failure.
Each configuration option is shown above on a new line, if you don't wish to override the default value of an item listed as [optional] you can remove that line to minimize the resulting size of your returned page.
The available configuration options are: -
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| src | string [required] | The full URL for where to load the SDK from. This value is used for the "src" attribute of a dynamically added <script /> tag. You can use the public CDN location or your own privately hosted one. |
| name | string [optional] | The global name for the initialized SDK, defaults to appInsights. So window.appInsights will be a reference to the initialized instance. Note: if you provide a name value or a previous instance appears to be assigned (via the global name appInsightsSDK) then this name value will also be defined in the global namespace as window.appInsightsSDK=<name value>, this is required by the SDK initialization code to ensure it's initializing and updating the correct snippet skeleton and proxy methods. |
| ld | number in ms [optional] | Defines the load delay to wait before attempting to load the SDK. Default value is 0ms and any negative value will immediately add a script tag to the <head> region of the page, which will then block the page load event until to script is loaded (or fails). |
| useXhr | boolean [optional] | This setting is used only for reporting SDK load failures. Reporting will first attempt to use fetch() if available and then fallback to XHR, setting this value to true just bypasses the fetch check. Use of this value is only be required if your application is being used in an environment where fetch would fail to send the failure events. |
| crossOrigin | string [optional] | By including this setting, the script tag added to download the SDK will include the crossOrigin attribute with this string value. When not defined (the default) no crossOrigin attribute is added. Recommended values are not defined (the default); ""; or "anonymous" (For all valid values see HTML attribute: crossorigin documentation) |
| onInit | function(aiSdk) { ... } [optional] | This callback function which is called after the main SDK script has been successfully loaded and initialized from the CDN (based on the src value), it is passed a reference to the sdk instance that it is being called for and it is also called before the first initial page view. If the SDK has already been loaded and initialized this callback will still be called. NOTE: As this callback is called during the processing of the sdk.queue array you CANNOT add any additional items to the queue as they will be ignored and dropped. (Added as part of snippet version 5 -- the sv:"#" value within the snippet script, the current version is 7) |
| cfg | object [required] | The configuration passed to the Application Insights SDK during initialization. |
Example using the snippet onInit callback
<script type="text/javascript">
!function(T,l,y){<!-- Removed the Snippet code for brevity -->}(window,document,{
src: "https://js.monitor.azure.com/scripts/b/ai.3.gbl.min.js",
crossOrigin: "anonymous",
onInit: function (sdk) {
sdk.addTelemetryInitializer(function (envelope) {
envelope.data.someField = 'This item passed through my telemetry initializer';
});
}, // Once the application insights instance has loaded and initialized this method will be called
cfg: { // Application Insights Configuration
connectionString: "YOUR_CONNECTION_STRING"
}});
</script>
Active Public CDN endpoints
To help with global resiliency, we have added and updated our primary CDN endpoint (source URL) so that if required we can address any outages without the need for everyone to update the URL used by the Application Insights snippet within their application.
All active CDN endpoints contain all of the previous (and future) versions of the SDK and there is currently no plans to stop or block accessing the snippet from the previous (legacy/backup) URL.
| State | CDN Endpoint | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Primary | https://js.monitor.azure.com/scripts/b/ai.3.gbl.min.js | Provides additional resiliency, allowing us to redirect to a different CDN provider should there be an unexpected issue (if required). |
❗ Deprecated |
Due to the legacy nature of this URL / Domain, if there is an unexpected issue (outage) with this domain, your application will need to be updated and deployed to use the new URL. ❗ Due to #1813 this URL is now being classified as Deprecated and we will be actively making changes to the SDK to warnings in your telemetry if we detect this domain being used. |
Connection String Setup
For either the NPM or Snippet setup, you can also configure your instance of Application Insights using a Connection String. Simply replace the instrumentationKey field with the connectionString field.
import { ApplicationInsights } from '@microsoft/applicationinsights-web'
const appInsights = new ApplicationInsights({ config: {
connectionString: 'YOUR_CONNECTION_STRING_GOES_HERE'
/* ...Other Configuration Options... */
} });
appInsights.loadAppInsights();
appInsights.trackPageView();
(Alternative Setup Method) Include AI JS SDK script and initialize statically
Use this approach if you would like to host AI JS SDK script on your endpoint or bundle it with other scripts.
<!-- use your own path to JS SDK script -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="/pathToAIJSSDK.js"></script>
After JS script has loaded, include the following snippet to initialize Application Insights:
<!-- the snippet below assumes that JS SDK script has already loaded -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var snippet = {
config: {
connectionString: "InstrumentationKey=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx"
}
};
var init = new Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.ApplicationInsights(snippet);
var appInsights = init.loadAppInsights();
appInsights.trackPageView();
</script>
Sending Telemetry to the Azure Portal
If initialized using the snippet, your Application Insights instance is located by default at window.appInsights
appInsights.trackEvent({name: 'some event'});
appInsights.trackPageView({name: 'some page'});
appInsights.trackPageViewPerformance({name : 'some page', url: 'some url'});
appInsights.trackException({exception: new Error('some error')});
appInsights.trackTrace({message: 'some trace'});
appInsights.trackMetric({name: 'some metric', average: 42});
appInsights.trackDependencyData({absoluteUrl: 'some url', responseCode: 200, method: 'GET', id: 'some id'});
appInsights.startTrackPage("pageName");
appInsights.stopTrackPage("pageName", null, {customePropertiesName: "some value"}, {customerMeasurementsName: 144});
appInsights.startTrackEvent("event");
appInsights.stopTrackEvent("event", null, {customePropertiesName: "some value"}, {customerMeasurementsName: 150});
appInsights.flush();
Custom properties can be included in your telemetry through the properties named argument. This can be done with any of the Track APIs except stopTrackPage and stopTrackEvent.
appInsights.trackEvent({
name: 'some event',
properties: { // accepts any type
prop1: 'string',
prop2: 123.45,
prop3: { nested: 'objects are okay too' }
}
});
When using stopTrackPage and stopTrackEvent, you can pass in data categorized by types:
Strings: These should be included under the properties field. Numbers: Add these under the measurements field. Remember, the order of the properties and measurements should not be altered. You can achieve this using the following code structure:
appInsights.startTrackEvent("event name");
appInsights.stopTrackEvent("event name", {
stringProp1: 'string',
stringProp2: {nested:"objects are okay too"}
},
{numProp1: 3.15, numProp2: 90000}
)
Setting Up Autocollection
All autocollection is ON by default. The full version of the Application Insights Javascript SDK auto collects:
- Uncaught exceptions in your app, including information on
- Stack trace
- Exception details and message accompanying the error
- Line & column number of error
- URL where error was raised
- Network Dependency Requests made by your app XHR and Fetch (fetch collection is enabled by default) requests, include information on
- Url of dependency source
- Command & Method used to request the dependency
- Duration of the request
- Result code and success status of the request
- ID (if any) of user making the request
- Correlation context (if any) where request is made
- User information (e.g. Location, network, IP)
- Device information (e.g. Browser, OS, version, language, model)
- Session information
Telemetry Initializers
Telemetry initializers are used to modify the contents of collected telemetry before being sent from the user's browser. They can also be used to prevent certain telemetry from being sent, by returning false. Multiple telemetry initializers can be added to your Application Insights instance, and they are executed in order of adding them.
The input argument to addTelemetryInitializer is a callback that takes a ITelemetryItem as an argument and returns a boolean or void. If returning false, the telemetry item is not sent, else it proceeds to the next telemetry initializer, if any, or is sent to the telemetry collection endpoint.
Example: Setting Cloud Role Name
var telemetryInitializer = (envelope) => {
envelope.tags["ai.cloud.role"] = "your role name";
envelope.tags["ai.cloud.roleInstance"] = "your role instance";
}
appInsights.addTelemetryInitializer(telemetryInitializer);
Example: Filtering
var telemetryInitializer = (envelope) => {
envelope.data.someField = 'This item passed through my telemetry initializer';
};
appInsights.addTelemetryInitializer(telemetryInitializer);
appInsights.trackTrace({message: 'This message will use a telemetry initializer'});
appInsights.addTelemetryInitializer(() => false); // Nothing is sent after this is executed
appInsights.trackTrace({message: 'this message will not be sent'}); // Not sent
Dependency Listeners
A dependency listener is a callback function that allows you to perform additional manipulation of the request details before the request is performed.
This includes :-
- Complete access to either the XMLHttpRequest instance or the fetch API
inputandinitarguments. - Ability to get/set the properties used to generate the W3C
traceparentheader (traceId,spanId,traceFlags) - Set values in the object context container for other listeners called after the current one, as well as this context object is also made available to all dependency initializers.
Dependency Initializers
A Dependency Initializer is very similar to a Telemetry Initializer in that it allows you modify the contents of collected telemetry before being sent from the user's browser. And you can also returning false to cause the event to not be emitted.
The differences between a telemetry initializer and a dependency initializer are :-
- A Dependency Initializer is called "before" the event is processed by the pipeline, as such it will NOT (yet) contain the automatically populated properties that are applied later;
- When a dependency initializer returns
falseto drop the event the event does NOT count against themaxAjaxCallsPerViewas this blocks the event call from being tracked, and while returningfalsefrom a Telemetry Initializer will also stop the event from being reported because this is further down the processing pipeline the dependency event IS counted against themaxAjaxCallsPerViewlimit. - It has access to an optional "context"
{ [key: string]: any }object that is also available to the Dependency Listeners. This allows a listener to add additional details to the context (before the XHR/fetch request is sent), and the initializer will be called after the request has completed.
Configuration
Most configuration fields are named such that they can be defaulted to falsey. All fields are optional except for instrumentationKey or a connectionString containing the instrumentation key.
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| instrumentationKey | string [Required if connectionString not supplied] |
null | Instrumentation key that you obtained from the Azure Portal. |
| connectionString | string [Require if instrumentationKey not supplied] |
null | The Connection string that you obtained from the Azure portal |
| accountId | string | null | An optional account id, if your app groups users into accounts. No spaces, commas, semicolons, equals, or vertical bars |
| sessionRenewalMs | numeric | 1800000 | A session is logged if the user is inactive for this amount of time in milliseconds. Default is 30 minutes |
| sessionExpirationMs | numeric | 86400000 | A session is logged if it has continued for this amount of time in milliseconds. Default is 24 hours |
| maxBatchSizeInBytes | numberic | 10000 | Max size of telemetry batch. If a batch exceeds this limit, it is immediately sent and a new batch is started |
| maxBatchInterval | numeric | 15000 | How long to batch telemetry for before sending (milliseconds) |
| disableExceptionTracking | boolean | false | |
| disableTelemetry | boolean | false | If true, telemetry is not collected or sent. Default is false. |
| enableDebug | boolean | false | If true, internal debugging data is thrown as an exception instead of being logged, regardless of SDK logging settings. Default is false. Note: Enabling this setting will result in dropped telemetry whenever an internal error occurs. This can be useful for quickly identifying issues with your configuration or usage of the SDK. If you do not want to lose telemetry while debugging, consider using loggingLevelConsole or loggingLevelTelemetry instead of enableDebug. |
| enableDebugExceptions | boolean | false | Removed from v3.x, Prior to v2.8.12 this was the only supported value and the documented enableDebug was incorrect, since v2.8.12 both enableDebug and enableDebugExceptions is supported. |
| loggingLevelConsole | numeric | 0 | Logs internal Application Insights errors to console. 0: off, 1: Critical errors only, 2: Everything (errors & warnings) |
| loggingLevelTelemetry | numeric | 1 | Sends internal Application Insights errors as telemetry. 0: off, 1: Critical errors only, 2: Everything (errors & warnings) |
| diagnosticLogInterval | numeric | 10000 | (internal) Polling interval (in ms) for internal logging queue |
| samplingPercentage | numeric | 100 | Percentage of events that will be sent. Default is 100, meaning all events are sent. Set this if you wish to preserve your datacap for large-scale applications. |
| autoTrackPageVisitTime | boolean | false | If true, on a pageview, the previous instrumented page's view time is tracked and sent as telemetry and a new timer is started for the current pageview. It is sent as a custom metric named PageVisitTime in milliseconds and is calculated via the Date now() function (if available) and falls back to (new Date()).getTime() if now() is unavailable (IE8 or less). Default is false. |
| disableAjaxTracking | boolean | false | If true, Ajax calls are not autocollected. Default is false. |
| disableFetchTracking | boolean | false | If true, Fetch requests are not autocollected. Default is false (Since v2.8.0, previously true) |
| excludeRequestFromAutoTrackingPatterns | string[] | RegExp[] | undefined | Provide a way to exclude specific route from automatic tracking for XMLHttpRequest or Fetch request. If defined, for an ajax / fetch request that the request url matches with the regex patterns, auto tracking is turned off. Default is undefined. |
| addRequestContext | (requestContext: IRequestionContext) => {[key: string]: any} | undefined | Provide a way to enrich dependencies logs with context at the beginning of api call. Default is undefined. You will need to check if xhr exists if you configure xhr related conetext. You will need to check if fetch request and fetch response exist if you configure fetch related context. Otherwise you may not get the data you need. |
| overridePageViewDuration | boolean | false | If true, default behavior of trackPageView is changed to record end of page view duration interval when trackPageView is called. If false and no custom duration is provided to trackPageView, the page view performance is calculated using the navigation timing API. Default is false. |

| disableDataLossAnalysis | boolean | true | If false, internal telemetry sender buffers will be checked at startup for items not yet sent. |
| disableCorrelationHeaders | boolean | false | If false, the SDK will add two headers ('Request-Id' and 'Request-Context') to all dependency requests to correlate them with corresponding requests on the server side. Default is false. |
| correlationHeaderExcludedDomains | string[] | undefined | Disable correlation headers for specific domains |
| correlationHeaderExcludePatterns | regex[] | undefined | Disable correlation headers using regular expressions |
| correlationHeaderDomains | string[] | undefined | Enable correlation headers for specific domains |
| disableFlushOnBeforeUnload | boolean | false | Default false. If true, flush method will not be called when onBeforeUnload event triggers |
| enableSessionStorageBuffer | boolean | true | Default true. If true, the buffer with all unsent telemetry is stored in session storage. The buffer is restored on page load |
| cookieCfg | ICookieCfgConfig [Optional] (Since 2.6.0) |
undefined | Defaults to cookie usage enabled see ICookieCfgConfig settings for full defaults. |
disableCookiesUsage |
alias for cookieCfg.enabled[Optional] |
false | Default false. A boolean that indicates whether to disable the use of cookies by the SDK. If true, the SDK will not store or read any data from cookies. isCookieUseDisable is deprecated in favor of disableCookiesUsage, when both are provided disableCookiesUsage take precedence. (Since v2.6.0) If cookieCfg.enabled is defined it will take precedence over these values, Cookie usage can be re-enabled after initialization via the core.getCookieMgr().setEnabled(true). |
| cookieDomain | alias for cookieCfg.domain[Optional] |
null | Custom cookie domain. This is helpful if you want to share Application Insights cookies across subdomains. (Since v2.6.0) If cookieCfg.domain is defined it will take precedence over this value. |
| cookiePath | alias for cookieCfg.path[Optional] (Since 2.6.0) |
null | 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. |
| isRetryDisabled | boolean | false | Default false. If false, retry on 206 (partial success), 408 (timeout), 429 (too many requests), 500 (internal server error), 503 (service unavailable), and 0 (offline, only if detected) |

| onunloadDisableBeacon | boolean | false | Default false. when tab is closed, the SDK will send all remaining telemetry using the Beacon API |
| onunloadDisableFetch | boolean | false | If fetch keepalive is supported do not use it for sending events during unload, it may still fallback to fetch() without keepalive |
| sdkExtension | string | null | Sets the sdk extension name. Only alphabetic characters are allowed. The extension name is added as a prefix to the 'ai.internal.sdkVersion' tag (e.g. 'ext_javascript:2.0.0'). Default is null. |
| isBrowserLinkTrackingEnabled | boolean | false | Default is false. If true, the SDK will track all Browser Link requests. |
| appId | string | null | AppId is used for the correlation between AJAX dependencies happening on the client-side with the server-side requests. When Beacon API is enabled, it cannot be used automatically, but can be set manually in the configuration. Default is null |
| enableCorsCorrelation | boolean | false | If true, the SDK will add two headers ('Request-Id' and 'Request-Context') to all CORS requests to correlate outgoing AJAX dependencies with corresponding requests on the server side. Default is false |
| namePrefix | string | undefined | An optional value that will be used as name postfix for localStorage and session cookie name. |

ICookieMgrConfig
Cookie Configuration for instance based cookie management added in version 2.6.0.
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| enabled | boolean | true | 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 |
| domain | string | null | 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. |
| path | string | / | Specifies the path to use for the cookie, if not provided it will use any value from the root cookiePath value. |
| ignoreCookies | string[] | undefined | 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 v2.8.8) |
| blockedCookies | string[] | undefined | 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 v2.8.8) |
| getCookie | (name: string) => string |
null | Function to fetch the named cookie value, if not provided it will use the internal cookie parsing / caching. |
| setCookie | (name: string, value: string) => void |
null | Function to set the named cookie with the specified value, only called when adding or updating a cookie. |
| delCookie | (name: string, value: string) => void |
null | 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. |
Cookie Handling
From version 2.6.0, cookie management is now available directly from the instance and can be disabled and re-enabled after initialization.
If disabled during initialization via the disableCookiesUsage or cookieCfg.enabled configurations, you can now re-enable via the ICookieMgr setEnabled function.
The instance based cookie management also replaces the previous CoreUtils global functions of disableCookies(), setCookie(...), getCookie(...) and deleteCookie(...). And to benefit from the tree-shaking enhancements also introduced as part of version 2.6.0 you should no longer uses the global functions.
Simplified Usage of new instance Cookie Manager
General Guidance
When calling getCookieMgr() before the SDK has successfully initialized will return a temporary ICookieMgr instance that will have cookie support fully enabled, thus allowing the getting, setting and deleting of cookies. So unless you know that your configuration WILL ALLOW cookie usage you should delay accessing or using the cookie manager until after initialization.
- appInsights.getCookieMgr().setEnabled(true/false)
- appInsights.getCookieMgr().set("MyCookie", "thevalue");
- appInsights.getCookieMgr().get("MyCookie");
- appInsights.getCookieMgr().del("MyCookie");
In v2.6.0 the
getCookieMgr()is not directly available on the main entry points documented above for the snippet, NPM (ApplicationInsights) or React Plugin usages. As a workaround for this version you will need to access it via thecoreorappInsightsproperties as below (thegetCookieMgr()will be available in later versions)
- appInsights.core.getCookieMgr().xxxxx
- appInsights.appInsights.getCookieMgr().xxxxx
Snippet usage notes
The getCookieMgr() method, core and appInsights properties are only available AFTER the SDK has been successfully loaded and initialized.
So you will need to only call or access the manager from within the onInit() callback function (available in snippet (v5) or above) or after you know that the SDK has been loaded and initialized, otherwise you will cause an exception, unless you also perform an existence check of the property or function.
Additional Legacy snippet users for v2.6.0
If you are using a legacy snippet for your application (it is suggested that you upgrade), you will need to use the following options
- appInsights.core.getCookieMgr().xxxxx
- appInsights.appInsights.core.getCookieMgr().xxxxx
- appInsights.appInsightsNew.getCookieMgr().xxxxx
Tree-Shaking Support and enhancements
As part of changes being introduced in version 2.6.0 we are deprecating and removing the internal usages of the static helper classes CoreUtils, EventHelper, Util, UrlHelper, DateTimeUtils and ConnectionStringParser to provide better support for tree-shaking algorithms so that unused code can be safely dropped when using NPM packages.
See Tree-Shaking Recommendations
Service Notification
As part of changes being introduced in version 3.0.3, we are intergrating cfgSync plugin and throttle manager to AISKU. For versions before 3.1.2, these components are disabled by default.
For versions after 3.1.2, these components are turned on by default. See feature opt-in status for more details.
For users behind a firewall, see how to disable fetching from default CfgSync CDN.
Single Page Applications
By default, this SDK will not handle state based route changing that occurs in single page applications. To enable automatic route change tracking for your single page application, you can add enableAutoRouteTracking: true to your setup configuration.
Currently, we support a separate React plugin which you can initialize with this SDK. It will also accomplish route change tracking for you, as well as collect other React specific telemetry.
Source Map Support
The minified callstack of your exception telemetry can be unminified in the Azure Portal. All existing integrations on the Exception Details panel will work with the newly unminified callstack. Drag and drop source map unminifying supports all existing and future JS SDKs (+Node.JS), so you do not need to upgrade your SDK version. To view your unminified callstack,
- Select an Exception Telemetry item in the Azure Portal to view its "End-to-end transaction details"
- Identify which source maps correspond to this call stack. The source map must match a stack frame's source file, but suffixed with
.map - Drag and drop the source maps onto the call stack in the Azure Portal
Examples
For runnable examples, see Application Insights Javascript SDK Samples
Application Insights Web Basic
For a lightweight experience, you can instead install the basic version of Application Insights
npm i --save @microsoft/applicationinsights-web-basic
This version comes with the bare minimum amount of features and functionalities and relies on you to build it up as you see fit. For example, it performs no auto-collection (uncaught exceptions, ajax, etc). The APIs to send certain telemetry types, like trackTrace, trackException, etc, are not included in this version, so you will need to provide your own wrapper. The only api that is available is track. A sample is located here.
Available extensions for the SDK
| Extensions | NPM Version |
|---|---|
| Angular |  |
| React |  |
| React Native |  |
Build a new extension for the SDK
The SDK supports the ability to include multiple extensions at runtime. In order to create a new extension, please implement the following interface:
On initialization, config.extensions accepts an array of ITelemetryPlugin objects. These are hooked up and ITelemetryPlugin.processTelemetry() is chained based on priority of these plugins. Please note that higher the priority, the later your processing code will be invoked. The SDK supports a plugin model and channels can also be plugged in similarly (advanced scenario). Target scenarios for creating a brand new extension is to share a usage scenario that benefits multiple customers. Please follow guidelines
Here is the priority ranges available:
- Regular extension priority can be between 201 to 499.
- Priorty range < 201 is reserved.
- Priority range > 1000 is for channels (advanced scenario)
To help with the creation of new extensions there is now a supported base class which can be used, this not only provides the common (boilerplate) implementations of common functions it will enable future plugins to automatically receive functional updates with the need to recode the plugins. it provides implementations for :-
-
ITelemetryPlugin.setNextPlugin() implementation to continuing supporting existing (non-shared) execution of plugins, however, new plugins should use the new IProcessTelemetryContext.processNext() moving forward as this support the creation of shared (singleton) plugins;
-
New ITelemetryPlugin.isInitialized() implementation
-
And several helper methods.
- processNext(), - to call the next plugin using the context or the _nextPlugin value
- diagLog(): - to access the current IDiagnosticLogger instance.
If you are creating new extensions it is recommended that you extend from this base class so that your extension will automatically inherit any future enhancements that are added to the ITelemetryPlugin interface without it requiring updates.
Usage:
const customPluginInstance = new YourCustomPlugin()
const appInsights = new ApplicationInsights({ config: {
connectionString: 'YOUR_CONNECTION_STRING_GOES_HERE',
extensions: [customPluginInstance]
// Other Configuration Options...
}});
appInsights.loadAppInsights();
ITelemetryPlugin has a simpler base type IPlugin that you can instantiate for initialization purposes when SDK loads.

Performance
Application Insights JS adds a negligible amount of load time to your website. By using the snippet, minimal components of the library are quickly loaded. In the meantime, the full script is downloaded in the background.
While the script downloads from the CDN, all tracking of your page is queued. Once the downloaded script finishes asynchronously initializing, all events that were queued are tracked. As a result, you will not lose any telemetry during the entire life cycle of your page. This setup process provides your page with a seamless analytics system, invisible to your users.
Summary:
- ~15 ms overall initialization time
- Zero tracking missed during life cycle of page
Module Formats
As part of packaging we produce umd (Universal Module Definition) modules using rollupjs which creates a wrapper that works for most users as it supports module loading and initialization with or without RequireJS.
However, there are some cases where your code doesn't directly use RequireJS but it is loaded into the runtime environment before your code and the 1DS SDK, in these cases the rollupjs wrapper registers (defines) but does not initialize (execute) the SDK and instead waits for the first to call "require()" before the module is executed
eg. var aiSdk = require("@microsoft/applicationinsights-web");
This situation can also occur when the scripts are loaded lazily, late or dynamically (and RequireJs is present) as this can cause a race condition between the SDK and RequireJS, which will cause the same issue if RequireJS is loaded first.
If users load Application Insights from the CDN via a script tag with require js running by other scripts, errors may occur. A typical error could be "Error: Mismatched anonymous define() module". The root reason is explained here.
To support this usage pattern we also produce and publish to the CDN endpoints an iife (Immediately Invoked Function Expression) module so that the SDK is always executed and initialized.
To use these modules instead of using the default script name simply add .gbl before the .min.js eg. use .gbl.min.js instead of .min.js at the end of the script name. (Note: Since version 7, the gbl modules is set as default module to solve the potential problem caused by require.js)
These modules are also included in the NPM packages within the bundle folder.
Example (not complete) CDN paths for the current major version.
As part of the CDN deployment and promoting new versions as the default we also provide both minor and explicit versions of all modules, so each published module will also include the following versions and formats. The example names are assuming version 3 as the current major version and 3.1 and the current minor.
| Major | Minor | Patch (Explicit) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
ai.3.min.jsai.2.min.js |
ai.3.0.min.jsai.2.8.min.js |
ai.3.0.2.min.jsai.2.8.16.min.js |
Minified UMD version |
ai.3.gbl.min.jsai.2.gbl.min.js |
ai.3.0.gbl.min.jsai.2.8.gbl.min.js |
ai.3.0.2.gbl.min.jsai.2.8.16.gbl.min.js |
Minified IIFE version (Recommended for v3.x) |
And the process of Promoting (or rolling back) a deployed version is simply a case of replacing the major and minor version of the script with the current explicit version
CDN Debugging support
We support 2 basic approaches for debugging the SDK via the CDN hosted scripts
- Every Module includes a
//# sourceMappingURL=xxxxat the end of the file and has the referenced map file uploaded to the CDN. - We also publish unminified versions of every module, just drop the
.minfrom the script name (eg.https://js.monitor.azure.com/scripts/b/ai.3.gbl.js)
| Major | Minor | Patch (Explicit) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
ai.3.min.js.mapai.2.min.js.map |
ai.3.0.min.js.mapai.2.8.min.js.map |
ai.3.0.2.min.js.mapai.2.8.16.min.js.map |
Map file for the UMD versions |
ai.3.gbl.min.js.mapai.2.gbl.min.js.map |
ai.3.0.gbl.min.js.mapai.2.8.gbl.min.js.map |
ai.3.0.2.gbl.min.js.mapai.2.8.16.gbl.min.js.map |
Map file for the IIFE versions |
ai.3.jsai.2.js |
ai.3.0.jsai.2.8.js |
ai.3.0.2.jsai.2.8.16.js |
Unminified UMD versions |
ai.3.gbl.jsai.2.gbl.js |
ai.3.0.gbl.jsai.2.8.gbl.js |
ai.3.0.2.gbl.jsai.2.8.16.gbl.js |
Unminified IIFE versions |
Nightly Builds
To aid with testing and validation we also produce and publish nightly builds whenever there is a change from the previous build. These builds are published to the NpmJs registry and to the CDN automatically on a successful build / test pass.
This process also tags the source code so that we can track the specific changes included using a nightly build specific version number which is the format "nightly-yymm-##" eg. nightly-2112-08
These nightly builds will not be retained indefinitely and should only be used for pre-production testing and/or validation of any changes that have not yet been released.
NPM
The NPM builds are tagged as "nightly" and can by downloaded using this as the version number npm install @microsoft/applicationinsights-web@nightly or using the nightly specific version number which is "nightly.yyyymm-###" (npm install @microsoft/applicationinsights-web@2.7.3-nightly.2112-08) where ## is the specific build number for the month (Note, slightly different version from the source code tag due to compatibility issues between the different systems).
CDN
These nightly builds are also uploaded to a different path on the CDN and explicitly have the -nightly added to the module name eg. /nightly/ai.2-nightly.min.js, each nightly build is re-numbered assuming the next release will be a patch release. So if the last release was 2.7.2, then all nightly builds will be numbered 2.7.3-nightly.
So to access simply update the URL used when downloading the required module.
As with the normal release process the nightly builds also include major, minor, explicit, IIFE (.gbl), *.map and unminified versions, these are primarily available for validating changes between builds.
Deployment process and alternate CDN endpoints
When a new release is deployed the following occurs as part of the release
- NPM packages are created and published to NpmJs
- The new explicit versioned files (eg.
ai.2.7.2.js;ai.2.7.2.min.js;ai.2.7.2.gbl.min.js;ai.2.7.2.min.js.map; etc) are uploaded to all cdn endpoints URL's (public, next and beta - details below) - We then go through a deployment process of "promoting" the new version to the "Major" (
ai.3.gbl.min.js) and "Minor" (ai.3.x.gbl.min.js) release URL's to upgrade everyone to the newly released version based on the schedule listed below
| Endpoint | Url | Schedule |
|---|---|---|
| Beta | https://js.monitor.azure.com/beta/ai.3.gbl.min.js | Same day as the NPM release |
| Next | https://js.monitor.azure.com/next/ai.3.gbl.min.js | One additional work day after the beta URL promotion. |
| Public | https://js.monitor.azure.com/scripts/b/ai.3.gbl.min.js | Another One additional work day after the next URL promotion, (so 2 work days after initial release) unless this falls on the last work day of the week (eg. Friday) in which case it will be delayed until the first work day of the next work week. |
The milestones for each release should include both the deployment plan (as it's about to be released) or the final release times as with v2.7.2
It is expected that most users will be using the Public URL, however, it is also recommended that if you have a test or canary environment that you should use either the beta or next URL's so that you would be alerted first before any production users are impacted. If any issues are detected with the beta or next URL's as a new release is being deployed please raise a new Issue as soon as this is confirmed.
