Application Insights for Server Side Blazor App

Question

Is it possible to get Azure Application Insights working fully with server side Blazor?

Only just started using Application Insights and have the basics up and running which tracks the initial load event of the application being requested but no other navigational events are tracked.

Just wondered if this is possible? I know that Blazor is quite new but if there are any guides or advice it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi James,

Yes it is possible. Please refer to the below blog to enable Application Insights on your Blazor App.

Since Blazor Server-Side application is a ASP .Net core app the below links may also help you:

In order to track custom events apart from the default events, you can follow the below link:

Hope this helps!
