# Subscriptions should have Application Insights configured
 
## Description{% #description %}

Application Insights is Azure Monitor's application performance management service. Configuring at least one Application Insights component per subscription ensures that application telemetry, availability monitoring, and diagnostic data are collected. Without it, application-level failures and performance degradation may go undetected.

## Remediation{% #remediation %}

Create an Application Insights resource in the subscription. See [Create an Application Insights resource](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/create-workspace-resource).
