Client Performance, Availability and Usage Monitoring with Microsoft Application Insights
Microsoft Application Insights is an extensible analytics service that monitors your web application. Application Insights JavaScript SDK is an open source library that enables you to automatically collect page views, track page performance, AJAX requests and usage of your application.
In this talk you will see how to add Application Insights JavaScript SDK to you web application by using JS snippet, and also by importing it as NPM module. We will discuss browser performance captured and aggregated by Application Insights in detail:
Then we will focus on AJAX request collection and how you can explore Application Insights to diagnose the root cause of AJAX failures:
Finally we will discuss how you can add custom operational and business telemetry with JavaScript SDK for Application Insights and issue complex queries.
This talk will be useful to all levels of JavaScript developers, from beginners (as it will start with basic fundamentals), to advanced, as I will go into details of JavaScript monitoring. There will be very few slides and mostly hands-on demo. I have been working on front-end development for 10 years, as an engineer on Bing and Office 365 and recently as an engineering manager for Application Insights, so I have experience writing performant client-side JavaScript applications.
