Editor's Notes
- #4 Why is working with production apps usually difficult? There are a number of reasons. It can be difficult to pull logs and data. Tracking sessions is complicated when there are multiple load-balanced instances. Tools may be scattered and hard to find and configure.
- #13 This is an example dashboard. From one place you can (reiterate bullets here).
- #14 This is an overview of how Application Insights works.
- #15 Application insights provides intelligent performance monitoring, looking across the full stack and tracking performance through layers of dependencies.
- #16 All of the data collected by Application Insights can be analyzed using a powerful built-in analytics query language.
- #17 Application Insights automatically provides an application map that is generated based on observed dependencies between components of your application.
- #18 With Application Insights, drilling into a transaction is possible with correlating tracing that maps the entire interaction from the browser down to the database.
- #21 Log analytics provides query capabilities directly from the portal. It can be locked down with role-based security and features built-in algorithms for detecting anomalies and clusters in the data.
- #22 The data provided by log analytics can be displayed as a table or in a variety of different chart formats. You can easily save queries to reuse later.
- #25 Snapshot debugging is a powerful feature that allows you to debug your application in production.
- #26 It is designed to support distributed applications.
- #27 As with other Azure services, it supports role-based access control.
- #28 Debugging locally is straightforward because there is typically one instance of the app running on a single server.
- #29 The cloud complicates things. In production, you have multiple users each accessing your distributed application with instances spanning multiple servers. How do you debug a specific end-to-end experience?
- #30 Snapshot debugging captures the unique callstack for a specific session so you can debug without having to understand which client or server was part of the end-to-end flow that resulted in an exception.
