Monitoring and alerting like a pro with Azure Monitor/Application Insights
summary
Shows how to add Application Insights to an ASP.NET Core app with one package and a browser snippet, then uses Azure Monitor/Kusto to query logs, build dashboards and alerts. Demo records 68 calls to the external API with a 100 ms average response, exposes live metrics, runtime counters and sampled telemetry, sets a five‑minute availability test and an alert rule evaluated every minute, mentions ingestion latency (30s–minutes) and an alert cost around $3/month, and integrates with Azure Managed Grafana.
