c# - Application Insights Delay?

Question

I've looked in many places for details around the delay of time it takes for Application Insights data to appear in my dashboard, but can't find it documented anywhere.

I spent some time yesterday trying to debug an issue around my code seemingly unable to send data to application insights, only for the data to appear sometime later (~40 mins).

Does anybody have any details regarding time I should expect to have to wait prior to seeing data on my dashboard?

I've read a few FAQs an articles such as: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/documentation/articles/app-insights-troubleshoot-faq/ but am none the wiser.

More specifically, these were attempts to track exceptions and custom events.

Answer 1

Generally raw examples of your data should be available within couple of minutes from the time you send it, and aggregated data takes about 5-10 minutes to appear. Also when we are experiencing a processing delay we display a banner on the Overview page in Application Insights in the portal as on the screenshot below.

If you saw 40 minutes delay seeing your data this was either the case of ongoing issue with the processing pipeline, in which case a message should have been shown (and if not, it is a detection problem on our side), or, as we are often seeing, there could have been a configuration problem with your application that was later addressed.
