Answer 1

I hope you already created a 4.8 Web Application . Follow the workaround to add Application Insights in your Web Application Project.

Workaround follows:

Install the Application Insights Package Microsoft.ApplicationInsights in your application using NuGet Package Manager.

Configure Application insights in your Web Applicaiton:

Right click of your project and click Configure Application Insights

It will ask you to choose Configure Application Insights either local or Azure . Choose as per your requirement.

It will configure your Web App into Application Insights. It adds the ApplicationInsights.config file which contains the configuration of Application Insights.

After the configuration done we can see the telemetry data in Application Insights
