From Visual Studio 2013 Update 3 it is even integrated right into the New Web Project dialog:</p> <p><a href="https://gwb.blob.core.windows.net/jakob/WindowsLiveWriter/UsingLog4NetforApplicationInsights_3E6B/image_6.png"><img alt="image" loading="lazy" src="https://blog.ehn.nu/2014/11/using-log4net-for-application-insights/6_image_thumb_2.png" title="image"></a></p> <p>When you select this option, Visual Studio will automatically create a new instrumentation key for you that identifies the web application, and insert the necessary Javascript into your master layout page that takes care of sending usage information to Application Insights. Try running your application, click around a few times, and you will see information showing up in the Azure portal within, literally, a few seconds.</p>
