Description
Part of building a successful web application is understanding how your application is being used and capturing exceptions before your users have a chance to report them. This requires embedding application monitoring within the logic of your application. In this course, Instrument Microsoft Azure Application Insights in a Web Application, you will receive an overview of how Application Insights can help you achieve this. First, you will learn how to integrate the SDK into your project. Next, you will explore the different metrics available for tracking. Finally, you will discover several different means to review and analyze these metrics within the Azure portal. When you are finished with this course, you’ll have a foundational knowledge of the types of metrics available to help you monitor your application.

Course Overview
Hi, everyone. My name is Jeff Hopper, and welcome to my course, Instrument Applications with Azure Monitor Application Insights. I am a Solution Developer with 20 years' experience helping companies solve their technology challenges. Completing a web application and releasing that for all to use is a great feeling of accomplishment, but it is only part of the story. A successful application never really is complete but is constantly being improved on, hopefully based around users' needs. And if we are honest, there will be some bugs along the way that hopefully can be captured before our users come across them. In this course, we are going to look at how to monitor your production applications using Microsoft Azure Monitor, specifically, the Application Insights feature. I will show you how to embed the SDK into your project and the metric calls that are available to help you monitor the specific use cases of your application. Along the way, I will show you some of the reports that are available in the Application Insights portal. By the end of this course, you will know how to monitor your application with Application Insights. Before beginning the course, you should be familiar with developing web applications in ASP.NET, Node.js, or Java. I hope you will join me on the journey to learn how to Instrument Applications with Azure Monitor Application Insights, on Pluralsight.
