The code in this repository is the .NET web application SDK for Application Insights. Application Insights is a service that lets you monitor your live application's performance and usage. This SDK sends telemetry to the service. It collects data such as web request timings and succcess rates, dependency calls, exceptions, and server performance counters. You can also use the SDK to send your own telemetry and add modules to collect logs. You can use this SDK in any .NET web application, hosted either on your own servers or on Microsoft Azure.
The SDK is installed on each project by the Application Insights tools in Visual Studio (2013 and later).
To add Application Insights to your project in Visual Studio:
- If you're creating a new project, check Add Application Insights in the New Project dialog.
- If it's an existing project, right-click your project in Solution Explorer and select Add Application Insights or Update Application Insights.
- If these options aren't available for your project type, use Extension Manager in Visual Studio to install or update the NuGet package. Create a new Application Insights resource in the Azure portal, obtain its instrumentation key, and insert that in ApplicationInsights.config.
Run your project, and then open your Application Insights resource in the Azure Preview Portal and look for events.
