This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 1 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 1.
The fifth of the new functionality in the Productive with Microsoft 365 section is New telemetry events and data.
Telemetry events on incoming and outgoing calls to web services, long-running AL methods, and error dialogs have been enhanced to make it even easier to troubleshoot performance and stability issues.
Enabled for: Users, automatically
Public Preview: Apr 2023
General Availability: Apr 2023
Feature Details
The following events have been improved in telemetry:
- Incoming web service calls (eventId RT0008) now include the time spent waiting in the throttling queue on the Business Central server. This allows you to track whether web services performance issues are due to throttling/queueing on the Business Central server.
- Incoming web service calls (eventId RT0008) now include the error message for OData/API calls when a failure occurs. This allows you to better troubleshoot web services issues.
- Outgoing web service calls (eventId RT0019) now include clientType and AL stack trace. This allows you to find places in your code where outgoing web service calls block the UI.
- Long-running AL methods (eventId RT0018) now include details about SQL statements on the Business Central database. This allows you to better understand the performance of your AL code.
- Error dialogs (eventId RT0018) now include the English error text instead of the localized version. This allows you to monitor error messages no matter which language the user has chosen in their client.
The following events are new in telemetry:
- Metadata permission set changes due to extensions installed/updated (eventId to be determined). This allows you to monitor permission changes, and also if they are introduced by an extension.
- File blocked from upload due to possible malware (eventId to be determined). This allows you to monitor potential security issues from user.
- Changes made in Feature Management. This allows you to track configuration changes done by the administrator.
