## Microsoft Azure Application Insight - An Overview

Azure Application Insights is an extensible Application Performance Management (APM) service for developers and DevOps professionals. Applications Manager's [Azure Application Insight monitoring](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/azure-application-insights-monitoring.html) provides visibility into availability percentages, request rates and durations, server-side and browser exceptions, dependency calls, browser page timings, and process-level CPU and memory.
