This could be your application…. Hmm….

Application Insights(Preview) helps you track

Availability, Performance, Usage

of your services and device apps[monitoring as a service]

1. Telemetry is collected at each

component: usage, performance,

exception, crash, event, synthetic

transactions, logs, developer-

supplied event data

2. Telemetry arrives to

Application Insights service

where it is processed

3. A 360 degree view of the

application – keep it available,

performing and succeeding.
