Integrate API Management Service with Application Insights Availability Tests
Introduction to API Management Service and Availability Tests
API Management Service is a powerful tool that enables developers to quickly create and manage APIs. By using Availability Tests, developers can ensure the APIs they create are always available and running correctly. This blog post will discuss how to integrate API Management Service with Application Insights to ensure the availability of APIs.
Why Integrate API Management Service with Application Insights?
Integrating API Management Service with Application Insights provides developers with an in-depth view of the availability and performance of their APIs. This integration enables developers to quickly identify and address any issues that may arise with their APIs. Additionally, Application Insights provides developers with analytics about the usage of their APIs and can help them optimize their APIs for better performance.
Setting up the Integration
To begin, developers need to have an API Management Service account and an Application Insights account. Once these accounts are created, developers can follow the steps below to set up the integration:
* In the API Management Service portal, select “API” and then select “Availability Tests”.
* Select “Create New” and fill in the required fields.
* In the “Target” field, select “Application Insights”.
* In the “Application Insights Account” field, select the Application Insights account that you created.
* In the “Application Insights API Key” field, enter the API key for your Application Insights account.
* Select “Save”.
Using the Availability Tests
Once the integration is set up, developers can begin using the Availability Tests to monitor the availability of their APIs. The availability tests will run at regular intervals, and if any issues are detected, the API Management Service portal will be notified. Additionally, developers can view the results of the Availability Tests in the Application Insights portal.
Conclusion
Integrating API Management Service with Application Insights is a great way to ensure the availability and performance of APIs. This integration provides developers with an in-depth view of their APIs and helps them quickly identify and address any issues that may arise.
