Application Insights, a feature of Azure Monitor, is an extensible Application Performance Management (APM) service for web developers on multiple platforms.

Application Insights is used to monitor your live web application. Characteristics include:

  • Automatic detection of performance anomalies.
  • Powerful analytics tools to help you diagnose issues and to understand what users actually do with your app.
  • Designed to help you continuously improve performance and usability.
  • Works for apps on a wide variety of platforms including .NET, Node.js and Java EE, hosted on-premises, hybrid, or any public cloud.
  • Integrates with your DevOps process, and has connection points to a variety of development tools.
  • Monitors and analyzes telemetry from mobile apps by integrating with Visual Studio App Center.

Supported metrics

OpsRamp MetricMetric Display NameUnitAggregation Type
azure_availability_results_duration

Percentage of availability for the storage service or the specified API operation. Availability is calculated by taking the TotalBillableRequests value and dividing it by Number of applicable requests, including those that produced unexpected errors. All unexpected errors result in reduced availability for the storage service or the specified API operation.
Test durationMilliSecondsAverage
azure_availability_results_percentage

The availability metric shows the percentage of the web test runs that didnt detect any issues.
