Azure Application Insights is a powerful application performance management (APM) service that enables real-time monitoring and analysis of live applications. It helps in detecting issues, diagnosing performance bottlenecks, and understanding how users interact with applications. Application Insights supports a wide range of platforms, including .NET, Java, Node.js, and more, allowing for comprehensive observability of your application’s performance and availability.

Use cases​

Here are a few example scenarios:

  • Monitor the performance and response times of API endpoints.
  • Detect and diagnose performance bottlenecks or exceptions in real-time.
  • Track user interactions and flows within the application.
  • Analyze the overall health and performance of distributed microservices.
  • Collect custom telemetry data for deeper insights into specific application components.
  • Correlate logs, traces, and metrics to detect potential application issues early.

Reference of usage in our organization​
