With the Application Insights JavaScript SDK you can collect and investigate the performance and usage of your web page or app. Historically we have offered onboarding through manually adding a script to your application and redeploying. Manually adding the script is still supported, but recently we have added the ability to add client-side monitoring from the Azure portal in a few clicks as well.

Enablement

If you have enabled Application Insights in Azure, you can add page view and user telemetry. You can learn how to switch on server-side monitoring in our documentation.

     1. Select Settings -> Application Settings

step one

     2. Under App Settings, add a new key value pair:

Key: APPINSIGHTS_JAVASCRIPT_ENABLED

Value: true

step two

 

     3. Save the settings and Restart your app in the Overview tab.

 

The Application Insights JavaScript SDK is now injected into each web page.
