Virtual Assistant Template Currently Uses TelemetryClient But Is Deprecated

Question

In the Virtual Assistant template ( https://github.com/microsoft/botframework-solutions/tree/master/templates/Virtual-Assistant-Template/csharp/Template/VA ) the current Startup.cs file is using TelemetryClient on line 72. However, according to this github issue ( https://github.com/microsoft/ApplicationInsights-dotnet/issues/1152 ), it is being deprecated.

What is the suggested change that I should make in my code in order to fix this going forward? Will the template be updated to reflect this?

Answer 1

TelemetryClient is NOT being deprecated. Per the issue that you linked, TelemetryConfiguration.Active is being deprecated. A quick search of the VA bot github repo show that TelemetryConfiguration.Active is not used anywhere in the bot:
