# Application Insights

With Application Insight, you can collect telemetry about your cloud project, including web server telemetry, web page telemetry, and performance counters.

## Installing Application Insight

To install Application Insight on your Umbraco Cloud project read the[ Application Insights for ASP.NET Core applications](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/asp-net-core?tabs=netcorenew) article in the Microsoft documentation.

## Limitations on Umbraco Cloud

{% hint style="warning" %}
Be aware that projects hosted on Umbraco Cloud operate on a shared infrastructure, which may lead to misleading information when using Application Insights.

Since multiple projects utilize the same resources, Application Insights will provide data based on the overall resource usage across these projects.

To obtain accurate information with Application Insights, you must move your project to a [dedicated server](/umbraco-cloud/build-and-customize-your-solution/set-up-your-project/project-settings/dedicated-resources.md).
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cloud/expand-your-projects-capabilities/external-services/application-insights.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
