Don't Fly Blind - Implementing Effective Application Instrumentation
summary
Azure Application Insights gets wired into an ASP.NET Core app using both codeless runtime monitoring and the SDK, enabling live metrics, application maps, availability pings with alerting, dashboards and Kusto queries over stored telemetry. Demo shows adding a snapshot collector to capture point‑in‑time debug snapshots for repeated exceptions, SDK changes that stop recording SQL text by default (SDK 2.14), custom telemetry/events, and retention/pricing tradeoffs with 5 GB free per month before billed ingestion.
