Can Azure Application Insights be used on applications not hosted in Azure?

Is it possible for me to add Application Insights to a .NET application that we host in our local environment for monitoring within Azure, or does Application Insights only work for applications hosted on Azure?

You can monitor any kind of app anywhere with Application Insights, as long as the thing being monitored can send outbound telemetry to application insights. the ip addresses for application insights are documented here if this requires setting up any kind of firewall/etc rules.

Azure is the "storage location" for your telemetry. Your app doesn't have to run in Azure, or even be a web app. people use application insights for console apps, device apps powershell scripts, web apps hosted all over the place, etc.
