Remain in the dark no longer with Application Insight's telemetry gathering capabilities. This .NET marvel brought to you by the fine folks at Microsoft can now assist you with knowing exactly what is happening with your PowerShell code when you're not looking. Stop guessing and start knowing what your code does when you're not looking!
---
Collect Errors Right from the Field
Application Insights can save entire error records generated by your code and send them to a central location. This is a great way to see what problems occur wherever your code is run in one esay to access location.
Know Whats Happening and Where It's Happening
Data you choose to gather is sent to the cloud allowing you to keep track of key actions and events occurring in your code around the clock. You'll have historic data available right at your finger tips.
Build Dashboards Around Your Code
Build dashboards to visualize the events in your code using either Application Insight's build in dashboarding or take advantage of the PowerBI integration.
Find Slow Code
Use Application Insights to measure code execution so you know when and where something isn't as fast as it should be.
Use in Both Binary and Script Based PowerShell
Do you author your code in C#, F#, or PowerShell? No matter what language you choose, Application Insights is build for the .NET family and will run where you need it to.
Adjustable Telemetry Levels
Not everyone feels comfortable with, or is allowed to join in with, telemetry collection. We'll cover how to set variable telemetry options allowing the users of your code the option to opt into or out of telemetry gathering.
PowerShell Summit videos are recorded on a "best effort" basis. We use a room mic to capture as much room audio as possible, with an emphasis on capturing the speaker. Our recordings are made in a way that minimizes overhead for our speakers and interruptions to our live audience. These recordings are meant to preserve the presentations' information for posterity, and are not intended to be a substitute for attending the Summit in person. These recordings are not intended as professional video training products. We hope you find these videos useful - the equipment used to record these was purchased using generous donations from members of the PowerShell community.
