I've got a .net core console application (not AspNetCore), and I want to add app insights logging that will push out the trace logs to app insights. I have tried using Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.AspNetCore, but when I do:
factory.AddApplicationInsights(serviceProvider);
it throws an error saying it can't find the hosting environment
Unable to resolve service for type 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.IHostingEnvironment' while attempting to activate 'Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.AspNetCore.TelemetryInitializers.AspNetCoreEnvironmentTelemetryInitializer'.
presumably because this is not an AspNetCore app, but just a pure console app.
Is there a way I can get trace logging pushed to App Insights from within my .net core console app?
Use Microsoft.ApplicationInsights as described in https://github.com/Microsoft/ApplicationInsights-aspnetcore/wiki/Getting-Started-for-a-.NET-Core-console-application.
