Setup

1. Download Sling Starter Standalone from https://sling.apache.org/downloads.cgi

2. Download applicationinsights-agent-{version}.jar from https://github.com/microsoft/ApplicationInsights-Java/releases

3. Create file AI-Agent.xml with the following content:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <ApplicationInsightsAgent>
     <Instrumentation>
       <BuiltIn enabled="true">
       </BuiltIn>
     </Instrumentation>
   </ApplicationInsightsAgent>
   

4. Put all three files in the same directory

   • org.apache.sling.starter-11.jar
   • applicationinsights-agent-{version}.jar
   • AI-Agent.xml

5. Run sling

   java -javaagent:applicationinsights-agent-{version}.jar -jar org.apache.sling.starter-11.jar
   

Build sample app

1. Update the instrumentation key in src/main/resources/ApplicationInsights.xml

2. Optionally enable debug logging in the ApplicationInsights.xml file by uncommenting

   <SDKLogger type="CONSOLE">
     <Level>TRACE</Level>
   </SDKLogger>
   

   and

   <Channel>
     <DeveloperMode>true</DeveloperMode>
   </Channel>
   

3. Build with maven

   mvn clean package
   

Deploy the bundle to Sling

1. Go to http://localhost:8080/system/console/bundles

2. Log in with admin/admin

3. Click Install/Update...

4. Select the bundle from target/apache-sling-sample-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

5. Check Start Bundle

6. Click Install or Update

Test the app

1. Go to http://localhost:8080/hello-world-servlet

2. Request and dependency telemetry should show up in Azure Portal within a couple of minutes

3. If you turned on debug logging above, you should see the captured request and dependency telemetry json in the console window right away (where you ran java -javaagent:... -jar ...)
