Lack of actionable and contextual information to resolve incidents Inability to quickly detect, diagnose and triage application issues Lack of collaboration between development and operations Prioritization and validation of investments not based on real data Plan Monitor + Learn Development Release Operations Develop + Test

What is Application Insights? Telemetry is collected at each tier: mobile applications, server applications and browser 1 Telemetry arrives in the Application Insights service in the cloud where it is processed & stored Get a 360° view of the application including availability, performance and usage patterns 3 2

1 Outside-in monitoring URL pings and web tests from 16 global points of presence Observed user behavior How is the application being used? Developer traces and events Whatever the developer would like to send to Application Insights Observed application behavior No coding required – service dependencies, queries, response time, exceptions, logs, etc. Infrastructure performance System performance counters
