App Services: Early Access: Tracking status of Application Insights? #61

Open JeremyCaney opened 3 years ago

JeremyCaney commented 3 years ago

On the .NET on App Services page, under .NET 5 Early Access limitations, it notes:

Application Insights is currently not supported for .NET 5 apps, we are working with the Application Insights team to resolve this.

My team is reluctant to update a number of App Services to ASP.NET Core 5 until this issue is resolved, since they don't include explicit implementation of Application Insights in the code. Given that, I'd like to monitor the progress of the Application Insights support for the App Services Early Access feature.

Is there an issue we can follow to stay informed of the status? If not, can we use this issue as a way of updating the community?

Changed an app service to use net 5, application insights was greyed out on azure portal, but even after changing back to net core, and publishing a net core 3.1 app, app insights is still greyed out

@naeem76: That's consistent with my experience. If you change it back to .NET Core, a prompt should appear at the top of the App Services Overview pane:

Click here to access Application Insights for monitoring and profiling for your ASP.NET Core app.

I'm not sure if that will (allow you to) reenable Application Insights for a .NET 3.x app, though. It certainly doesn't with an ASP.NET Core 5 app—even if it's setup to use a self contained deployment mode.

All around, it seems like there are some goofy hacks to mitigate the current lack of Application Insights support, and they lead to a confusing user experience with minimal communication to customers.

I assume that's just because these were put in at the last minute due to Application Insights not being ready by launch. But this would definitely benefit from, at minimum, improved messaging and rollback abilities if Application Insights is going to be a while.

Yes the prompt is coming now, and I can also go directly to the Insights resource directly and its working.

I'm still waiting on official support like you now, and yes a issue tracker would be good to have, I ported from net 2.1 to net 5 and then back to net core3.1 just because of Application Insights

It absolutely was: https://github.com/microsoft/ApplicationInsights-dotnet/issues/1960#issuecomment-725256663

It seems that the issue is entirely with Azure.

I opened https://github.com/microsoft/ApplicationInsights-dotnet/issues/2119 as I feel that is more likely to get MS eyes on it.
