Application Insights

• #10: So let’s take each one of these impediments. First you want to minimize the time that it takes to detect any abnormalities or issues with your application, and have visibility to your application’s health. Having a 360 degree view to your application’s availability and performance, allows you to detect issues and events that could affect your application. And when issues occur, be automatically alerted and have relevant metric that allow you to resolve them Reduce the Mean Time To Detect the issue, and minimize outage time and impact to customers
• #11: Application Insights provides out of box dashboards that help you detect issues in production before your customer experiences them. You can set up a custom view of your application’s health with metrics that are important for you and your business.
• #12: You can get alerted automatically whenever your application is not responding to your specifications, enabling you to pro-actively resolve any issues and preventing customer impact.
• #13: Problem - You try to ensure your application is constructed with high quality. But there are unforeseen conditions or usage patterns that can happen in production to impact your application’s availability. When this happens you need to be able to restore your application to a good state as soon as possible. You need to reduce the mean time to repair (MTTR). Solution - To detect the root cause of issues quickly, you need access production data as it was when the incident occurred. You need the ability to pull the exact code that was deployed and executing, and go to the suspicious line of code. Memory problems, while their occurrence is less common, are very difficult to diagnose - to the extent that having tools to view the full memory stack is a critical need in solving these problems as soon as possible, Value - Reducing MTTR, reduces customer impact and increasing team efficiency
• #14: By having access to data from different data points in one dashboard, development teams can identify systemic issues and trends affecting applications and overall infrastructure health They can learn from usage data to make informed decisions based on qualitative and quantitative data
• #15: Visual Studio Online Application Insights provides a 360 degree view of your applications, collecting rich operational, performance, and customer usage information from your applications, whether they run on-premises, in Azure, third-party cloud providers, or a mixture of all three. This empowers you to: Pro-actively monitor that your applications are available and Performing as expected, and when they aren’t, to provide information that helps you to resolve them promptly. Use information to continuously improve your applications and prioritize future investments.
• #19: There are a number of sources of telemetry data that App Insights can collect and process. Outside-in monitoring is the same engine used by System Center’s Global Service Monitor. Developers don’t have to change any application code to enable this, but they can re-utilize the same web tests they create today for more complex user paths through an application. By installing an agent, user behavior is captured without a change to code as well. In some scenarios, code changes may be required to capture certain metrics and so SDK’s are available to emit and capture those.
• #20: Customers can start getting insights into their applications at their own pace… Level 1 – Basic Availability – Non-invasive, no need to re-deploy or code changes. Start getting outside-in monitoring with ping test/synthetic transactions, by configuring URL, ping or deploy existing web tests and get 16 global points of presence. Level 2 – Basic Performance: No code changes required. Install agent (Microsoft Monitoring agent) on platform Level 3 – Application usage: Inject agent into application - little or no developer effort Level 4 – Customer telemetry – Using SDK, developer emits custom event to the service
