Monitoring your existing Applications

This post introduces the Application Insights Status Monitor, an agent that can be installed on an IIS server to enable Application Insights monitoring for existing web applications without requiring code updates or redeployment. It details the installation process via the Web Platform Installer, the steps to select the local IIS application and associate it with an Application Insights resource, and the need to restart IIS for APM to take effect. The post also explains how to view performance telemetry (response time, request count, failed requests) in the Azure Portal and mentions the automatic enablement of the Application Insights profiler for capturing dependency data.
