Django API "request count" now showing in Azure App Insights > Performance with opencensus

Question

running into an issue where my Django python API application is not logging all metrics to Azure App Insights using opencensus.

But for example, we are getting CPU/memory logging:

I would expect the performance > request count to look similar to this (on a different application framework):

The performance counters section looks pretty straight forward.

My code looks like this:

from opencensus.ext.azure import metrics_exporter

def main():
  INSTRUMENTATION_KEY = os.getenv("INSTRUMENTATION_KEY", "xxx")

  exporter = metrics_exporter.new_metrics_exporter(connection_string='InstrumentationKey='+INSTRUMENTATION_KEY)

I think you need to make sure if your app's requests have been captured and you may refer to this section, Incoming requests, outgoing requests <=> Tracing

Hence, according to the tutorial you provided, I'm new to python, but I assume that you may consider this section?

this was helpful - thank you for clarifying my misunderstanding! After adding the tracing, we see what we are looking for. – Josh Johanning Jul 20 '21 at 16:10
