How can I retrieve the instrumentation key for an Application Insights instance in an Azure Resource Group Template?

Is there any way to retrieve the Instrumentation Key for an Application Insights instance in an Azure Resource Group template ?

I've tried the instructions here to retrieve the list of list* operations available on Azure resources, but Microsoft.Insights/components doesn't appear in the list anywhere. It's making me think that retrieving an Instrumentation Key in the template isn't currently possible

The answer from Alex Marshall will work fine, but I just wanted to contribute by saying you could do this with Bicep as well. The syntax would be as follows:

resource appInsights 'Microsoft.Insights/components@2020-02-02' existing = {
  name: 'appinsights-name'
  scope: resourceGroup('rg-appinsights-resides-in')
}


output appString string = appInsights.properties.ConnectionString
output appinsight string = appInsights.properties.InstrumentationKey

Try it (using azure cli)

az resource show -g $RESOURCE_GROUP -n $APP_INSIGHTS --resource-type "microsoft.insights/components" --query properties.InstrumentationKey

After some digging and experimenting, this is what I found works:

"outputs": {
    "MyAppInsightsInstrumentationKey": {
        "value": "[reference(resourceId('Microsoft.Insights/components', variables('myAppInsightsInstanceName')), '2014-04-01').InstrumentationKey]",
        "type": "string"
    }
}

Instrumentation Key belongs to resource, you can find it in Azure Resource manager template. If you want to find Instrumentation Key, you need to define ResourceType to Microsoft.Insights/components. Try the below code:

$resourcevalue=Get-AzureRmResource -ResourceGroupName Default-ApplicationInsights-*** -ResourceType Microsoft.Insights/components -ResourceName **hdinsights -ApiVersion 2015-05-01 $resourcevalue.Properties.InstrumentationKey
