# Correlating Application Insights data with custom data sources

Application Insights collects several different data types: exceptions, traces, page views, and others. While this is often sufficient to investigate your application’s performance, reliability, and usage, there are cases when it is useful to correlate the data stored in Application Insights to other completely custom datasets.

Since Application Insights is backed by the powerful Azure Monitor log platform, we are able to use the full power of Azure Monitor to ingest the data. Then, we will write queries using the “join” operator that will correlate this custom data with the data available to us in Azure Monitor logs.

Application Insights is based on the Azure Monitor log platform. We can therefore use [cross-resource joins](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/log-analytics/log-analytics-cross-workspace-search) to correlate any data we ingested into Azure Monitor with our Application Insights data.

For example, we can ingest our lab inventory and locations into a table called “LabLocations_CL” in a Log Analytics workspace called “myLA”. If we then wanted to review our requests tracked in Application Insights app called “myAI” and correlate the machine names that served the requests to the locations of these machines stored in the previously mentioned custom table, we can run the following query from either the Application Insights or Azure Monitor context:
