See performance problems before your users do
CloudServus architects set up workspace-based Azure Application Insights: OpenTelemetry instrumentation, real dashboards, and alerts tied to what breaks in your app.
Talk to an Expert →Application Insights runs differently than it did two years ago
Microsoft retired classic Application Insights resources in February 2024. Every resource created now is workspace-based: telemetry lands in a shared Log Analytics workspace instead of its own isolated store, under one Azure RBAC model.
Instrumentation moved too. The supported path is the Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry Distro, not the classic Application Insights SDKs. CloudServus builds monitoring around the current architecture, not a patched-together version of what worked in 2022.
What CloudServus sets up
Workspace-based deployment
- Log Analytics integration: telemetry flows into your existing workspace, not a separate silo.
- Unified RBAC: one access model across logs and app telemetry, no cross-workspace queries.
- Customer-managed keys and Private Link where your compliance posture requires them.
OpenTelemetry instrumentation
- Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry Distro across .NET, Java, Node.js, and Python services.
- Distributed tracing from front-end request to backend dependency, with an application map that's readable, not just complete.
- Migration off classic SDKs for teams still running deprecated instrumentation.
Dashboards and alerting
- Curated dashboards scoped to the services your team owns, not a generic template.
- Live Metrics and near-real-time alerts tied to thresholds that match your app, not defaults.
- Autoscale tied to demand so capacity responds before users notice.
Hybrid and multi-cloud reach
- Azure Arc extends monitoring to on-premises and edge resources.
- Security integration with Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender for Cloud.
- Interoperability with tools like Datadog, Dynatrace, and New Relic via webhooks and Azure Pipelines.
Built by the people who run it, not a team that leaves after go-live
CloudServus is an Azure Expert MSP and Top 1% Microsoft Solutions Partner. The architects who design your Application Insights setup are the same ones who tune alert thresholds and troubleshoot the application map six months later.
That continuity matters more under the workspace-based model than it did with classic resources. Query performance, retention cost, and RBAC boundaries are now workspace-level decisions, not per-app ones. Get the workspace architecture wrong and every app monitored inside it inherits the mistake.
Where to start
Onboarding starts with an assessment: what's still running as a classic resource, where instrumentation gaps exist, and what the target Log Analytics workspace architecture should look like before anything gets migrated.
From there, CloudServus configures instrumentation, builds dashboards your team will use, and sets alert thresholds against real baselines, not defaults you end up muting.
