Question: Where does the id show up?

[cbtgit]

Where in the App. insights interface can i see/search for the id that can be supplied for the IExceptionTelemetry interface?

export declare interface IExceptionTelemetry extends IPartC { /** * Unique guid identifying this error */ id?: string; /** * @deprecated * @type {Error} * @memberof IExceptionTelemetry * @description DEPRECATED: Please use exception instead. Behavior/usage for exception remains the same as this field. */ error?: Error; /** * @type {Error} * @memberof IExceptionTelemetry * @description Error Object(s) */ exception?: Error | IAutoExceptionTelemetry; /** * @description Specified severity of exception for use with * telemetry filtering in dashboard * @type {(SeverityLevel | number)} * @memberof IExceptionTelemetry */ severityLevel?: SeverityLevel | number; }

By Default the automatic captured errors don't populate the id, you can however call the trackException() yourself and as part of the IExceptionTelemetry object you pass in you can specify the id yourself.

We treat any passed instance as a simple object and not some type of class.
Here is the code we use to "construct" the automatic error isntances (effectively from the window.onerror)

ApplicationInsights-JS/shared/AppInsightsCommon/src/Telemetry/Exception.ts

Lines 404 to 428 in ac9c516

	public static CreateAutoException(
	message: string | Event,
	url: string,
	lineNumber: number,
	columnNumber: number,
	error: any,
	evt?: Event|string,
	stack?: string,
	errorSrc?: string
	): IAutoExceptionTelemetry {
	let errorType = _getErrorType(error || evt || message);
	return {
	message: _formatMessage(message, errorType),
	url,
	lineNumber,
	columnNumber,
	error: _formatErrorCode(error || evt || message),
	evt: _formatErrorCode(evt || message),
	typeName: errorType,
	stackDetails: _getStackFromErrorObj(stack || error || evt),
	errorSrc
	}
	}

@MSNev Thank you for your reply. I am calling trackException myself and passing in, an id generated with the uuid npm package. If i go to Logs and exceptions in the App. insights UI, I can't seem to find a column containing my id - there is a itemId column, with a diff. id, but no column with my generated id?

hi @cbtgit sorry for the late response.
Here is my local test result:

1.  appInsights.trackException({id:"siyuTest1", error: new Error("test local exception"), severityLevel: 3});
   

this one would not show id in azure portal

2. appInsights.trackException({id:"siyuTest2",  severityLevel: 3});
   

and this one would pass the id to the azure portal

Seems like in the option 1, the error message overwrite the id. Will continue investigate...
