Why is fluent-plugin-application-insights set to [UNSUPPORTED]?


We are considering transferring and managing logs output by applications running on Microsoft azure VMs to Microsoft azure application insights using fluent.

However, the public fluent application-insights plug-in is "unsupported".

https://github.com/microsoft/fluent-plugin-application-insights

What is the reason for this?

Isn't the method of transferring application insights using fluent recommended?


Solution

  • Here is some info after contacted with the author Yanming Tang:

    Because we are not actively supporting that. App Insights team is recently having a cleaning up process to mark inactive projects as unsupported.

    And he also suggests that: you can still use it as a starting point, and can make whatever change you like, but they won't work on feature requests.
