MicrosoftFeature Request - Make Application Insights Smart detection more real time.
We would like to request the Application Insights Smart detection alert rules (especially exception Anomalies) to be more real time. We noticed these Smart detection alert rules only have daily frequency that reviews the data for the previous day from day 0 00:00AM to day 1 00:00AM UTC. We had large exceptions occurred at day 0 00:01 AM UTC and the alert was not received until day 1. We feel 24 hours+ delay it's not quite useful especially when it comes to exception detection. We could use normal alert for exceptions but a more near real timed smart detections would be more helpful and easy for customer to use, so we want to submit this feature request.
This is definitely something that should be implemented, without having to rely on manual alert rules (not everyone wants to learn KQL). Additionally, the way current smart alerts are being described could cause confusion as to how frequently it evaluates the rules and I was certainly led to believe it is suitable for real time detection of exception anomalies when it isn't the case.
