- 6. How well does your application work? It works great!
- 7. How do you know how well your application work? Errrrr…… we don’t get many support calls
- 8. Real-World Example SharePoint Provider Hosted App In Azure Web App WCF Service Service Bus Relay API Line of Business Systems It works pretty well! When there is a problem we get support calls
- 9. Add Application Insights SharePoint Provider Hosted App In Azure Web App WCF Service Service Bus Relay API Line of Business Systems Application Insights More than 1000 errors per hour that you didn’t know were happening Lets just check that shall we?
- 10. Fix Issues SharePoint Provider Hosted App In Azure Web App WCF Service Service Bus Relay API Line of Business Systems Lets fix 2 bugs in here Lets make 2 defensive code changes here
- 11. Monitor Improvement SharePoint Provider Hosted App In Azure Web App WCF Service Service Bus Relay API Line of Business Systems Application Insights • Less than 4 errors per hour • All errors caused by users not existing in external system • Info sent to LOB application support team, issue fixed • Finally errors happen by exception

- 15. Monitoring & Managing Solution My Integration Solution Does my application work the way I expect? Can I monitor the PaaS or IaaS aspects of the solution And adhere to good IT practices? I need to provide some user friendly reports for Business users I need BizTalk specific monitoring and management features I need low level logs for troubleshooting

- 17. Demo 1 – Web API – Zero Code Changes
- 18. Demo 2 – Web API
- 19. Demo 3 - WCF Services
- 20. Demo 4 – Log4net
- 21. Demo 5 - BizTalk
- 22. Correlating Events My Component 2 Telemetry Event Operation.Id = 123 Order Management BPM Shared Application Insights Instance My Component 1 Telemetry Event Operation.Id = 123 Application specific telemetry Application specific telemetry
- 23. Summary Thoughts
- 24. Application Insights + BizTalk Thoughts • Application Insights • Plugs the gap around what to do with custom logging & telemetry • Allows you to have separation per BizTalk application (if you want) • Can give easy view of messages in and out • Provides a good search for troubleshooting • Can give insights to empower DevOps • Application Insights Scenarios • Would compliment BizTalk 360 for developers and BizTalk Admins to provide deeper analysis on custom code • Could be combines with PowerBI to provide a simpler BAM type reports for users via custom events
- 25. Possible BizTalk Scenarios • Log message in and out in pipelines • Log “Business style” events in orchestrations • Correlate cross application telemetry • Correlate cross system telemetry
- 26. Things I like…. • Costs are good for most scenarios • Very easy to get up and running • Can do with no code changes • Deep insights can be gained easily
- 27. I Application Insights.. but, • Azure API Management & Application Insights are not integrated right now, feels like a missing opportunity • Be aware Insights != Diagnostics Log • Integration between logging frameworks and Application insights is ok but has some gaps – (eg all trace messages) • Doesn’t currently have a profiling option like New Relic • Id like to see cross component features
- 28. BizTalk 360 BizTalk Specific Manage Processes Governance Knowledge base Performance Counter System Throttling Historical Data Views Business User Reports Best Practice Analysers Start/Stop System Based on existing BizTalk data Application Insights Endpoint Availability Monitoring Exception Capturing Request Monitoring Predictive Analytics Line of code error tracking Dependency Tracking Custom Telemetry Power BI Business User Reports Reporting on external data Operations Insights Server Agent Install Gallery of monitoring profiles PaaS and IaaS support Best Practice Analysers Focused on server/infrastructure
