Notice

Here's the official report from Microsoft:

On 30 September 2025, we’ll be retiring the application insights Java 2.X SDK; after that date it’ll no longer be supported. Before that date, we recommend you upgrade to OpenTelemetry-based Java 3.X auto-instrumentation, which provides all the functionality of the application insights Java 2.X SDK plus new ones, including:

• Expanded distributed tracing auto-collection including the most common Azure SDKs, MongoDB, Kafka, Cassandra (and more)
• JMX and micrometer metrics auto-collection
• Codeless onboarding for easier deployments and upgrades

If you choose to not upgrade, your data will continue to flow to application insights. However, we’ll be unable to support any Azure support cases opened on this SDK, and you won’t receive the latest product features.
