Application Insights is not yet supported for .NET 5 Web Apps

Question

I have a .Net 5.0 web app deployed into an Azure App Service web app.

Today, I wanted to enable an Application Insights instance for my app service web app, but looks like it's impossible at the moment due to the Application Insights is not yet supported for .NET 5 Web Apps message.

I don't wanna downgrade to asp.net core 3.1. Do you have any suggestions?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Answer 1

Currently, the code-less mode(link application insights via azure portal) is not supported.

Before this feature is available, only app-insights SDK based approach can be used there. So as a workaround, you can install the related app-insights package in your project locally, then publish the project to azure.
