This repository has code for the Web Application SDK for Application Insights. Application Insights is a service that allows developers ensure their applications are available, performing, and succeeding. This SDK provides the ability to auto-collect data such as dependency calls, requests and server performance counters in .NET web applications.

To send data to Application Insights, you need an instrumentation key that you can get by creating an Application Insights resource in the Azure Preview Portal or adding Application Insights to your project in Visual Studio.

To add Application Insights to your project in Visual Studio

• If it's a new web project, make sure "Add Application Insights to Project" is selected.
• If it's an existing project, right click the project in Solution Explorer, and choose Add Application Insights.

For detailed instructions, see this article.

Run your project, and then open your Application Insights resource in the Azure Preview Portal and look for events. Learn more.
