Cannot see option to 'Add Application Insights Telemetry to Project'

Question

I have an existing web role that I deploy to Azure. Now I would like to try out Application Insights but I do not see an option to 'Add Application Insights Telemetry to Project'. I installed all the latest updates and if I try adding another web role project to my Azure deployment that new project has the option to add Application Insights.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You!

Answer 1

I believe VSIX checks if ApplicationInsights.config is added to the project. If it is present the option to add is not available.

Answer 2

I think I figured this out. Somehow telemetry was already added to my project, and that is probably why the menu option was not available.

Answer 3

I ran into the same problem then found another option called overview after right clicking my project. Option might be available for other people so posting here as I didn't find this information elsewhere.

Right click project > Overview > Connected services > Monitoring with application insights > follow set up with azure account.

Also had to follow this post as .config file didn't add https://stackoverflow.com/a/38060313/7030091
