 A sample C# solution with code to accompany this article is available on [GitHub](https://github.com/Azure/azure-batch-samples/tree/master/CSharp/ArticleProjects/ApplicationInsights). This example adds Application Insights instrumentation code to the [TopNWords](https://github.com/Azure/azure-batch-samples/tree/master/CSharp/TopNWords) example. If you're not familiar with that example, try building and running TopNWords first. Doing this will help you understand a basic Batch workflow of processing a set of input blobs in parallel on multiple compute nodes.
 
-> [!TIP]
-> As an alternative, configure your Batch solution to display Application Insights data such as VM performance counters in Batch Explorer. [Batch Explorer](https://github.com/Azure/BatchExplorer) is a free, rich-featured, standalone client tool to help create, debug, and monitor Azure Batch applications. Download an [installation package](https://azure.github.io/BatchExplorer/) for Mac, Linux, or Windows. See the [batch-insights repo](https://github.com/Azure/batch-insights) for quick steps to enable Application Insights data in Batch Explorer.

 ## Prerequisites
 
 - [Visual Studio 2017 or later](https://www.visualstudio.com/vs)
 - [Batch account and linked storage account](batch-account-create-portal.md)
 - [Application Insights resource](/previous-versions/azure/azure-monitor/app/create-new-resource). Use the Azure portal to create an Application Insights *resource*. Select the *General* **Application type**.
 - Copy the [instrumentation key](/previous-versions/azure/azure-monitor/app/create-new-resource#copy-the-instrumentation-key) from the Azure portal. You'll need this value later.

 ## Monitor compute nodes continuously
 
 You may have noticed that all metrics, including performance counters, are only logged when the tasks are running. This behavior is useful because it limits the amount of

For example, they might be running background work which is not scheduled via the Batch service. In this case, set up a monitoring process to run for the life of the compute node.

For example, they might be running background work which is not scheduled via the Batch service. In this case, set up a monitoring process to run for the life of the compute node.
 
 One way to achieve this behavior is to spawn a process that loads the Application Insights library and runs in the background. In the example, the start task loads the binaries on the machine and keeps a process running indefinitely. Configure the Application Insights configuration file for this process to emit additional data you're interested in, such as performance counters.
