Collecting Orchard usage telemetry with Azure Application Insights - module released

You can't base decisions on assumptions. What you can't measure you can't manage. Familiar? Of course, and what you want to do with your software is specifically what's hinted: measure how people use it. Azure Application Insights is a tool for this, being an application telemetry service. Now we created an Orchard module for it for easy integration!

Application Insights

The Orchard Azure Application Insights module lets you send usage telemetry from Orchard easily: just install the module, configure the AI instrumentation key and that's it: server-side request telemetry (e.g. response time, log entries) and client-side telemetry (e.g. client-side processing time, JavaScript exceptions) will be sent to Azure and you can explore it from the Azure Portal on charts like above. With all this integrated you can get valuable insights, not just raw data but also answers to questions like "What was the request when this exception happened?"

You can also chek out an overview of AI and a demonstration of the module on the Orchard Community Meeting's recording.

Azure Application Insights is a very useful tool when operating Orchard applications and allows you to response to any issues quickly. Check out the module!
