Application
Insights
1. Telemetry is collected at each
tier: Mobile applications, server
applications and browser
2. Telemetry arrives to
Application Insights service
where it is processed & stored
3. Get 360° view of the
application covering availability,
performance & usage

How is the application being used?
Whatever the developer would like to send
to Application Insights
No coding required – service dependencies,
queries, response time, exceptions, logs, etc.
System performance counters
2 Options
Visual Studio
project (new or
existing)
App already
installed on
server
Challenges
• Visibility to application health?
• Visibility to application outages to minimize
customer impact?
• Hard to get information to determine impact of
issue?
Solutions
• Reduce ‘Mean Time to Detect’
• Ensure service availability with 8 global points of
presence
• URL ping tests and rich multi-step web tests
• Threshold based alerts on metrics and perf.
counters
• Real time alerts via email
Challenges
• Uncover root cause of production issues?
• Quickly resolve code problems detected in
production?
Solutions
• Reduce ‘Mean Time to Resolve’
• Identify issues with request rate & dependency
response times
• Multi-dimensional analyses over custom & default
metrics
• Drill through exceptions & failed requests with
traces & runtime telemetry
Challenges
• Lack of information to prioritize future
investments?
Solutions
• Understand key adoption trends
• Prioritise investments & support specific client
environments
• Custom event instrumentation & client page views
• Correlate usage with perf. telemetry for 360° view

Uses data centers all over
The game figures out where you are
Where the closest Azure data center is
Spins up a server just for you – constantly available set of servers
AI & NPCs(non-player characters) powered by server
More than 100,000 virtual machines deployed on launch day
...so there is no host advantage in this multiplayer game
