This Application Insights add-on lets you view telemetry items from the browser as they are issued by Application Insights. This is helpful in situations when you need to see what is happening with your application right this very second and cannot get to Azure portal or when telemetry indexing by Application Insights pipeline is delayed. You can also see what telemetry items where sampled and what were sent as well as some instant charts. Essentially this add-on lets you view the same data you see in your Visual Studio debug output window, except from production.
