There is a web.api application with Application Insights plugged in. The AI works like a charm when it is published to Azure. Unfortunately sometimes it is necessary to launch the app in iis express for test purposes. Normally I do it from cmd like this: "c:\program files\iis express\iisexpress" /port:1337 /path:c:\tracker_pub.
Is it possible to watch AI statistics in such a case? In particular I would like to see exceptions that happen sometimes.
You can use LinqPad to get all internal telemetry live. Also if you have VS 2015 Update 1 there is an Application Insights hub where you can find AI telemetry (same as in the VS output).
