GraphQL HotChocolate 12 - Updated Application Insights monitoring

It seems that with every release of HotChocolate, I can write a follow up post. With the release of HotChocolate 11, I wrote a blog post on how to integrate it with Application Insights.

With the HotChocolate 12, there was again a small update in the available interfaces and APIā€™s.

Letā€™s check the changes we have to makeā€¦

  • First of all, our diagnostic class should no longer inherit from DiagnosticEventListener but from ExecutionDiagnosticEventListener.
public class ApplicationInsightsDiagnosticListener : ExecutionDiagnosticEventListener
{
private readonly TelemetryClient _telemetryClient;
public ApplicationInsightsDiagnosticListener(TelemetryClient telemetryClient)
{
_telemetryClient = telemetryClient;
}
}
  • The signature of the ExecuteRequest method has changed as well. Instead of returning an IActivityScope it should return an IDisposable:
public override IDisposable ExecuteRequest(IRequestContext context)
{
return new RequestScope(_telemetryClient, context);
}

  • This also means that our RequestScope no longer needs to implement the IActivityScope interface but only needs to implement IDisposable:
private class RequestScope : IDisposable
{
private TelemetryClient _telemetryClient;
private IRequestContext _context;
private IOperationHolder<RequestTelemetry> _operation;
private bool _disposed=false;
public RequestScope(TelemetryClient telemetryClient, IRequestContext context)
{
_telemetryClient = telemetryClient;
_context = context;
var httpContext = GetHttpContextFrom(context);
if (httpContext == null) return;
// Create a new request
var requestTelemetry = new RequestTelemetry()
{
Name = $"{httpContext.Request.Method} {httpContext.Request.GetUri().GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Path)}",
Url = new Uri(httpContext.Request.GetUri().AbsoluteUri)
};
requestTelemetry.Context.Operation.Id = GetOperationIdFrom(httpContext);
requestTelemetry.Context.Operation.ParentId = GetOperationIdFrom(httpContext);
requestTelemetry.Properties.Add("GraphQL Query", context.Request.Query.ToString());
// Start the operation, and store it
_operation = _telemetryClient.StartOperation(requestTelemetry);
}
public void Dispose()
{
if (_disposed)
return;
var httpContext = GetHttpContextFrom(_context);
if (httpContext == null) return;
// handle any final request logging here (GraphQL query errors, success, etc)
if (_context.Result.Errors is null)
{
_operation.Telemetry.Success = true;
_operation.Telemetry.ResponseCode = "200";
}
else
{
HandleErrors(_context.Result.Errors);
_operation.Telemetry.Success = false;
_operation.Telemetry.ResponseCode = "500";
}
// Then stop the operation. This completes the request.
_telemetryClient.StopOperation(_operation);
_disposed = true;
}
}

Here is the full example:

public class ApplicationInsightsDiagnosticListener : ExecutionDiagnosticEventListener
{
private readonly TelemetryClient _telemetryClient;
public ApplicationInsightsDiagnosticListener(TelemetryClient telemetryClient)
{
_telemetryClient = telemetryClient;
}
public override IDisposable ExecuteRequest(IRequestContext context)
{
return new RequestScope(_telemetryClient, context);
}
private class RequestScope : IDisposable
{
private TelemetryClient _telemetryClient;
private IRequestContext _context;
private IOperationHolder<RequestTelemetry> _operation;
private bool _disposed=false;
public RequestScope(TelemetryClient telemetryClient, IRequestContext context)
{
_telemetryClient = telemetryClient;
_context = context;
var httpContext = GetHttpContextFrom(context);
if (httpContext == null) return;
// Create a new request
var requestTelemetry = new RequestTelemetry()
{
Name = $"{httpContext.Request.Method} {httpContext.Request.GetUri().GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Path)}",
Url = new Uri(httpContext.Request.GetUri().AbsoluteUri)
};
requestTelemetry.Context.Operation.Id = GetOperationIdFrom(httpContext);
requestTelemetry.Context.Operation.ParentId = GetOperationIdFrom(httpContext);
requestTelemetry.Properties.Add("GraphQL Query", context.Request.Query.ToString());
// Start the operation, and store it
_operation = _telemetryClient.StartOperation(requestTelemetry);
}
public void Dispose()
{
if (_disposed)
return;
var httpContext = GetHttpContextFrom(_context);
if (httpContext == null) return;
// handle any final request logging here (GraphQL query errors, success, etc)
if (_context.Result.Errors is null)
{
_operation.Telemetry.Success = true;
_operation.Telemetry.ResponseCode = "200";
}
else
{
HandleErrors(_context.Result.Errors);
_operation.Telemetry.Success = false;
_operation.Telemetry.ResponseCode = "500";
}
// Then stop the operation. This completes the request.
_telemetryClient.StopOperation(_operation);
_disposed = true;
}
private HttpContext GetHttpContextFrom(IRequestContext context)
{
if (!context.ContextData.ContainsKey("HttpContext"))
return null;
return context.ContextData["HttpContext"] as HttpContext;
}
private string GetOperationIdFrom(HttpContext context)
{
return context.TraceIdentifier;
}
private void HandleErrors(IReadOnlyCollection<IError> errors)
{
foreach (var error in errors)
{
if (error.Exception == null)
{
var exceptionTelemetry = new ExceptionTelemetry();
exceptionTelemetry.Message = error.Message;
_telemetryClient.TrackException(exceptionTelemetry);
}
else
{
_telemetryClient.TrackException(error.Exception);
}
}
}
}
}

Kubernetesā€“Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...

DevToysā€“A swiss army knife for developers

As a developer there are a lot of small tasks you need to do as part of your coding, debugging and testing activities.  DevToys is an offline windows app that tries to help you with these tasks. Instead of using different websites you get a fully offline experience offering help for a large list of tasks. Many tools are available.
