Bit #3: Fixing problems with Application Insights due to ad blockers

It can happen that Azure Application Insights fails to display any logs, metrics or failures due to content blockers. Such content blockers attempt to block all server requests whose sole purpose is tracking or advertising.

We can use the following custom rules to not block server requests required by Azure Application Insights.

uBlock Origin - My filters

# Azure Application Insights
@@||livediagnostics.monitor.azure.com$domain=~portal.azure.com
@@||dc.services.visualstudio.com$domain=~portal.azure.com

AdGuard Home - Custom filtering rules

# Azure Application Insights
@@||api.applicationinsights.azure.com^$client='CLIENT_NAME'
@@||livediagnostics.monitor.azure.com^$client='CLIENT_NAME'
@@||dc.services.visualstudio.com^$client='CLIENT_NAME'
@@||api.loganalytics.io^$client='CLIENT_NAME'

Where CLIENT_NAME is the network device name of a computer.
