redux-appinsights

Redux middleware for Application Insights on Azure

Installation

Prerequisite: You need to have Application Insights correctly configured in your application.

npm i redux-appinsights

Then simply apply the middleware to your store:

import { insightsMonitor } from 'redux-appinsights' 
 
const store = createStore(rootReducer,  applyMiddleware(
  insightsMonitor() //or insightsMonitor(params), see Configuration
));

Usage

You need to opt-in the actions you want to log. To do so, simply append your action like so:

{
  type: 'ADD_TODO',
  payload: 'Hello World!',
  meta: {
    appInsights: { trackPayload: true}
  }
}

If you only want to track an action, but don't need it's payload, set trackPayload: false. If you omit to set trackPayload it will be set to true by default.

Your actions will now show up in Application Insights:

Configuration

You can pass a configuration object to the middleware:

const params = {
  globals: {
    env: 'dev'
  },
  exclude: ['meta']
};
 
const store = createStore(rootReducer,  applyMiddleware(
  insightsMonitor(params)
));
 

Globals

These are properties that you want to be added on every action that you track, for example, the environment on which the action occured.

Exclude

Your actions might contains things that you don't want to track, such as meta. Simply add them to the exclude array in the configuration object (this only applies to top-level member of your actions).
