React Plugin for the Application Insights Javascript SDK, enables the following:
- Tracking of router changes
- React components usage statistics
Full documentation for the React Plugin for the Application Insights JavaScript SDK can be found on Microsoft Docs.
Install npm package:
npm install @microsoft/applicationinsights-react-jsimport React from 'react';
import { ApplicationInsights } from '@microsoft/applicationinsights-web';
import { ReactPlugin, withAITracking } from '@microsoft/applicationinsights-react-js';
import { createBrowserHistory } from "history";
const browserHistory = createBrowserHistory({ basename: '' });
var reactPlugin = new ReactPlugin();
var appInsights = new ApplicationInsights({
config: {
instrumentationKey: 'YOUR_INSTRUMENTATION_KEY_GOES_HERE',
extensions: [reactPlugin],
extensionConfig: {
[reactPlugin.identifier]: { history: browserHistory }
}
}
});
appInsights.loadAppInsights();
// To instrument various React components usage tracking, apply the `withAITracking` higher-order
// component function.
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
...
}
export default withAITracking(reactPlugin, MyComponent);For react-router v6 or other scenarios where router history is not exposed, appInsights config enableAutoRouteTracking can be used to auto track router changes.
var reactPlugin = new ReactPlugin();
var appInsights = new ApplicationInsights({
config: {
instrumentationKey: 'YOUR_INSTRUMENTATION_KEY_GOES_HERE',
enableAutoRouteTracking: true,
extensions: [reactPlugin]
}
}
});
appInsights.loadAppInsights();| Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| history | null | React router history for more information see the documentation of the react-router package. |
To instrument various React components usage tracking, apply the withAITracking higher-order
component function.
It will measure time from the ComponentDidMount event through the ComponentWillUnmount event.
However, in order to make this more accurate, it will subtract the time in which the user was idle.
In other words, React Component Engaged Time = ComponentWillUnmount timestamp - ComponentDidMount timestamp - idle time.
To see this metric in the Azure portal you need to navigate to the Application Insights resource, select "Metrics" tab and configure the empty charts to display Custom metric named "React Component Engaged Time (seconds)", select aggregation (sum, avg, etc.) of your liking and apply split by "Component Name".
You can also run custom queries to slice and dice AI data to generate reports and visualizations as per your requirements. In the Azure portal, navigate to the Application Insights resource, select "Analytics" from the top menu of the Overview tab and run your query.
Please note that it can take up to 10 minutes for new custom metric to appear in the Azure Portal.
