Analyze Application Insights Using Kusto Query Language (KQL)

In this lab, you will learn how to use Kusto Query Language (KQL) in Application Insights to analyze an Azure App Service application’s performance. You’ll enable Application Insights on an existing web app, generate traffic to capture telemetry, and then run a series of KQL queries in the Logs interface. These queries will provide insights into request counts, response codes, and average request durations, helping you understand your site’s traffic patterns and pinpoint potential performance issues.
