I have a static dot net web application with application insights sdk. How do I send application insights data to Azure Event Hub? I have successfully used the Azure Continuous Export feature but I would rather like to send the telemetry data to the Event Hub.

To explicitly send data to eventhub you will need to use EventHub SDK, which is currently available in .NET/C#, Java, REST, and Node.js. For your case which is a web application, sending via REST APIs might be the easiest way. Take a look at API reference for more information: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn790674.aspx
One catch is that receiving events is not currently supported using REST, you would still need a .NET or Java application to be on the receive side.

@greypanda,
As you know Continuous Export currently only exports Application Insights to blob storage, from which you can pick up the data for use in any workstream you want. Exporting directly in an Event Hub is something that could be a future feature, so please log this at our UserVoice site: https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/357324-application-insights.
We will also have a set of REST APIs for Application Insights soon (see https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/357324-application-insights/suggestions/4999529), which might help you.
I would like to learn more about your scenario so I can better help you in this instance and improve our export and API features. Feel free to reply here or if you want, shoot me a mail offline.
Thank you

We don't really support that. It's a lot easier to let the SDK send the data to App Insights portal, then you can use Continuous Export to move it out into Storage. If you want, you can use Stream Analytics to move it from there.
What do you plan to ultimately do with the data? (I mean, why event hub...?)
