what is the use of application insights in VS2015

HI Siddarth

Microsoft is the Application Insights integration with Visual Studio 2015. Don’t confuse this with reporting provided by services like Google Analytics, which only use client-side reporting capabilities. This is full server-side awesomeness which can report the health of your specific service or application directly, having the reports instantaneously accessible in your Azure Portal.

The mobile projects I’m currently building with Xamarin have a backend hosted with Azure Mobile Services. I’ve used Xamarin Insights for mobile-app insights and reporting to get nice reports and insights in how my apps are behaving and being used. With the recent announcement of the Microsoft Application Insights integration into Visual Studio 2015 (preview), we can now easily add Insights to our Azure Mobile Services projects in order to keep measures on the server-side of your apps as well.
