Answer 1

It's an old question but (un)forturnately still relevant...

See: http://davidbanks.blog/Posts/redirectingApplicationInsights (archived)

It seems that the telemetry for Application Insights is currently (on the 11 May 2017) going to two endpoints:

• dc.services.visualstudio.com/v2/track is the endpoint for most of the metrics
• rt.services.visualstudio.com/v2/track seems to be exclusively for "Quick Pulse Service"

Hi Herre, once again, some external link fails to open. Could you summarize any valuable information if they are useful? Thanks! – Diane

Answer 2

If it is no longer tracking, check if it is returning a 439 error.

According to this, if you hit the monthly quota in Application Insights, and no one is viewing it, collection will not resume until someone views it in the Azure portal.

So either view your data in App Insights, set a higher quota, or fix what is filling it up with logs/errors.
