Difference between app_insights vs esp_insights

Postby electronicsguy » Sat Apr 19, 2025 5:06 pm

What's the difference between app_insights vs esp_insights? I'm finding confusing information as to how to get the insights working for my project. Some docs refer to app_insights, others refer to esp_insights.

app_insights is just a small esp-rainmaker specific wrapper on top of esp-insights, to make enabling some standard insights logs and metrics easier in RainMaker examples.

I don't need the full rainmaker functionality right now. What I want to do is capture some basic performance data and plot it. (like memory usage, cpu usage, cpu_freq, etc)

@Piyush Can you point to a app_insights example which will enable me to add this to my existing project, without rainmaker?
