This is a sample application only. Use at your own risk.

This sample demonstrates how to use the Microsoft Azure Insights API to programatically retrieve metric data.

Retrieving the metric data is also possible via the Insights REST API

Get Metric Values GET https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscription_id}/resourceGroups/{resource_group}/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/{resource}/metrics?api-version=2014-04-01&$filter={filter}

Get Metric Definitions GET https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscription_id}/resourceGroups/{resource_group}/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/{resource}/metricDefinitions?api-version=2014-04-01
