One of the ways we use Azure Application Insights is tracking custom application-specific events. For instance, every time a data point from an IoT device comes in, we log an AppInsights event. Then we are able to aggregate the data and plot charts to derive trends and detect possible anomalies.

Azure Application Insights is an analytics service to monitor live web applications, diagnose performance issues, and understand what users actually do with the app. Aurelia is a modern and slick single-page application framework. Unfortunately, there’s not much guidance on the web about how to use AppInsights and Aurelia together in a proper manner. The task gets even more challenging in case you are using TypeScript and want to stay in type-safe land. This post will set you up and running in no time.
