# Create an Application Insights resource
19-
Azure Application Insights displays data about your application in a Microsoft Azure *resource*. Creating a new resource is therefore part of [setting up Application Insights to monitor a new application][start]. In many cases, creating a resource can be done automatically by the IDE. But in some cases, you create a resource manually - for example, to have separate resources for development and production builds of your application.
