Add Application Insights Telemetry fails

Question

I'm trying to add Application Insights to my WebApi app (.net 4.6.2) project. I go to the menu Project > Add Application Insights Telemetry ... > Pick my AppInsights resource in Azure then it thinks for a long time and fails.

What are the steps that are failing here and how can I get around this?

Answer 1

• While Adding Application Insights automatically we need to add instrumentation key to ApplicationInsights.config before closing the </ApplicationInsights> tag file.

   <InstrumentationKey>"your-instrumentation-key-goes-here"</InstrumentationKey>

• Then update each Microsoft.ApplicationInsights NuGet package to the latest stable release by navigating to Project > Manage NuGet Packages > Updates .

If Adding Application Insights Automatically isn't working, then you can try manually from HERE .
