Errrrr…… we don’t get many support
calls

Monitoring & Managing Solution
My Integration Solution
Does my application work the way I expect?Can I monitor the PaaS or IaaS aspects of the solutionAnd adhere to good IT practices?
I need to provide some user friendly reports for Business users
I need BizTalk specific monitoringand management features
I need low level logs fortroubleshooting

Summary Thoughts
![Page 24: Application Insights for Integration Developers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042706/5883dede1a28ab62358b5f1d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Application Insights + BizTalk Thoughts• Application Insights
• Plugs the gap around what to do with custom logging & telemetry• Allows you to have separation per BizTalk application (if you want)• Can give easy view of messages in and out• Provides a good search for troubleshooting• Can give insights to empower DevOps
• Application Insights Scenarios• Would compliment BizTalk 360 for developers and BizTalk Admins to
provide deeper analysis on custom code• Could be combines with PowerBI to provide a simpler BAM type reports
for users via custom events
![Page 25: Application Insights for Integration Developers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042706/5883dede1a28ab62358b5f1d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Possible BizTalk Scenarios• Log message in and out in pipelines
• Log “Business style” events in orchestrations
• Correlate cross application telemetry
• Correlate cross system telemetry
![Page 26: Application Insights for Integration Developers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042706/5883dede1a28ab62358b5f1d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Things I like….• Costs are good for most scenarios
• Very easy to get up and running
• Can do with no code changes
• Deep insights can be gained easily
![Page 27: Application Insights for Integration Developers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042706/5883dede1a28ab62358b5f1d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
I Application Insights.. but,• Azure API Management & Application Insights are not integrated right
now, feels like a missing opportunity
• Be aware Insights != Diagnostics Log
• Integration between logging frameworks and Application insights is ok but has some gaps – (eg all trace messages)
• Doesn’t currently have a profiling option like New Relic
• Id like to see cross component features
