To instrument an ASP.NET Core app for Azure App Insights, you can use auto-instrumentation if hosted in Azure App Service or manually add the OpenTelemetry library and connection string environment variable. This enables performance monitoring and outage detection.

Azure App Insights auto-instrumentation applies to ASP.NET Core and Node.js apps hosted in Azure App Service. For containerized apps, manual instrumentation is needed to configure OpenTelemetry and set the connection string environment variable for telemetry emission.

The best way to monitor request rates and latency in Azure web apps is by instrumenting them to emit telemetry data to Azure App Insights. This enables visibility into performance metrics to detect outages earlier and diagnose issues efficiently.

You need OpenTelemetry for manual instrumentation to send telemetry to Azure App Insights. The process involves adding the OpenTelemetry library to your code and setting the App Insights connection string as an environment variable for your hosting stack.

App Insights telemetry may not collect data if the OpenTelemetry library is not properly added or the App Insights connection string environment variable is not set. Ensure your ASP.NET Core or Node.js app is correctly configured for your hosting stack.
