10 Web Tests per Application Insights Resource

One of my favorite features of Azure's Application Insight resource is the Web Test.  You can use it to perform keepalive/heartbeat tests on your websites.  You can also use it to proactively be informed if your site is having problems.

Today I learned that you can only have a maximum of 10 web tests per resource.











This is still incredibly generous when you consider the
following:

• You can run any webtest from up to 16 global locations.  So each webtest can really be thought of as 16 tests.
• You can create a multi-step test using Visual Studio's Web Performance and Load Test project template.  In one of these projects, you can configure a complex series of web tests.  This only counts as 1 web test in App Insights.  But you could easily merge all of your webtests into a single project, and therefore only use 1 single webtest slot.

10 web tests per resource limitation should not be a limitation for anyone.
