How to identify and capture different SOAP services response metrics in Azure

Question

When I test multiple SOAP services it is not able to differentiate each services out of all in Azure because all the SOAP services has same Request URL and only the Request body changes. Even after drill down into each request from app insights it is showing only Request URL but request body content is not available. So it is not able to identify which web service it was. For example, if I run 10 different SOAP services, I need to know the identity of each service with its response metrics instead of combining all of the services together

@Krishnakumar Venkatachalam Apologies for delay in getting back to this thread.

Currently there isn't any out of box feature within Application Insights for you to consume where request body is sent automatically to Application Insights. You have to use Application Insights SDK and send this manually to Application Insights.

However our internal team has been made aware of this feedback , they have got similar feedback from few other customers. So they will be evaluating the feedback and prioritize accordingly.

On a side note , below are few sample solutions explored and shared by community members , hope it helps you. Credit to respective owners who have posted these solutions.
