Classic application insights will be retired on 29 February 2024—migrate to workspace-based application insights
I recently got a email which says ‘Classic application insights will be retired on 29 February 2024—migrate to workspace-based application insights’.
Further it adds, classic application insights in Azure Monitor will be retired and you’ll need to migrate your resources to workspace-based application insights by that date.
Now if we move to Workspace-based application insights, it will offer improved functionality such as:
- Continuous export of app logs via diagnostic settings.
- The ability to collect data from multiple resources in a single Azure Monitor log analytics workspace.
- Enhanced encryption and optimization with a dedicated cluster.
- New options to reduce costs.
Now let’s logon to Azure and check what it means and how to migrate to workspace-based application insights.
Access the Application Insights and then click on ‘Classic Application Insights is deprecated and will be retired in February 2024. Migrate this resource to Workspace-based Application Insights to gain support for all of the capabilities of Log Analytics, including Customer-Managed Keys and Commitment Tiers. Click here to learn more and migrate in a few clicks’.
Now you will see the Subscription and the new Log Analytics Workspace getting created. Just click Apply at bottom of screen.
Once done, you will see the new workspace created and all the content of classic application.
