insights on intranet with no public internet access

Question

I've seen some cast on //Build 2015 that uses microsoft azure application insights to trace site/application's wealth..I was wondering if there's a way of doing so on a intranet application with restricted internet access. is there a way of installing insights service on a windows server? Or does a similar tool exists?

Thanks

Out of the box you won't be able to use ApplicationInsights on a server with restricted internet access because ApplicationInsights needs to send the collected telemetry over to ApplicationInsights service for analysis and aggregation. However if you would like to configure a an intermediary endpoint on a server that has internet connection you can replace the endpoint address in ApplicationInsights.config. Inside TelemetryChannel node set the value for EndpointAddress property to your custom endpoint:

<TelemetryChannel>
        <EndpointAddress><your custom endpoint></EndpointAddress>
</TelemetryChannel>

Then in your intermediary endpoint route the traffic to http://dc.services.visualstudio.com/v2/track
