Custom data question

Hi,

I’m hoping for a little help here. I’ve got an hapijs api running and i’m trying to track each key value pair from the querystring, and add them as custom data. I just can’t figure out how to do this. I’m currently trying traceTrace but nothing appears to show. I can see the common property showing up.

Second quick question: if i use client in this way do I need to use trackNodeHttpRequest?

appInsights.setup(this.config.insights.key);
appInsights.start();
appInsights.defaultClient.commonProperties = {
    environment: process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development'
};

let client = appInsights.defaultClient;

server.ext('onPreResponse', (request, h) => {
    client.trackTrace( request.query );
    client.trackNodeHttpRequest({ request: request.raw.req, response: request.raw.res });
});

I want to show up here.

Thanks in advance.

@OsvaldoRosado I can confirm this has worked. Thanks for all your help.

@leemm To put POST parameters from the body into custom dimensions instead of from the querystring you can just slightly modify the example telemetry processor to read the proper fields from the context['http.ServerRequest'] object.

This is slightly tricky since you’ll have to re-parse the request body inside the telemetry processor. To avoid duplicating the work hapi does for you, you can export the field during your hapi request handler. Eg:

server.route({
    method: 'POST',
    path: '/',
    handler: (req)=> {
        req.raw.req.payload = req.payload;
        return 'Hello world!';
    }
});

If you do this, the payload parameters will be in your telemetry processor at context['http.ServerRequest'].payload
