Instrumenting applications have always been something useful for developers to find out which parts of their applications (and those that are not). But too often, that kind of feature that does not really bring tangible benefits to users is left aside and never implemented.

Microsoft has made available a very simple mechanism that will let you start instrumenting your application. This mechanism is available to any application running on a computer connected to the Internet. It is not reserved to Web applications.

All you need is an application and an Azure account.
