This repository contains the implementation for integrating Cache Statistics and Rendering Statistics as custom metrics in Application Insights. These metrics can be tracked and viewed in Application Insights using the Metrics Explorer or by executing Kusto queries in the logs.
The Health Monitor is designed to capture important cache statistics and rendering statistics from your application and send them to Application Insights as custom metrics. This allows you to monitor and analyze the performance of your cache and rendering processes.
Cache Statistics: Track cache hit rate, cache size, cache misses, and other relevant cache metrics.
Rendering Statistics: Monitor rendering time (max/min/avg), number of renders, items accessed (max/min/avg/total) and other rendering performance metrics.
To integrate the Health Monitor into your application and start tracking custom metrics in Application Insights, follow these steps:
- git clone https://github.com/avwolferen/SitecoreCustomMetrics
- Make sure you have Application Insights working for you, please refer to Application Insights 2.21 for Sitecore
- No configuration file updates required for the custom metrics!
- Build and deploy your application with the Health Monitor integrated.
- Verify that the custom metrics are being tracked and sent to Application Insights.
View metrics in Application Insights:
Open your Application Insights resource in the Azure portal. Navigate to the Metrics Explorer or use Kusto queries in the logs to view and analyze the custom metrics.
Contributions are welcome! If you would like to contribute to the Health Monitor repository, please follow the guidelines outlined in the CONTRIBUTING.md file.
