Application insights configuration in asp.net 4.8 web application

how can we configure application insights in asp.net 4.8 web application which has the entry point as global.asax.cs I need to pull out the logging in separate project and use Logger factor with Microsoft.Extensions.Logging

Solution

  • 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.

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