Transition to using Standard Tests for availability tests in Azure Application Insights
Azure Application Insights is retiring the URL ping test capability on September 30, 2026, and ping tests will be removed from resources. Users will need to transition to using standard tests, which provide SSL certificate validity, proactive lifetime check, HTTP request verb, custom headers, and custom data associated with HTTP requests. To create availability tests with Azure Application Insights, users can select Availability and then Add Standard Test from the Azure Portal. Users should check if they have old tests in place and, if so, recreate or migrate them to the new Standard Tests. Microsoft has provided an automatic migration script that users can find on their website.
