2/Where the instrumentation key/ConnectionString needs to be added
3/How to use the telemetry client in the code and configure with instrumentation key/ConnectionString, tracing/logging of the error, warn, and exceptions.
4/How to implement the correlation between the logs messages.
Please help with the code snippet if possible.

@PrasunkumarBheemireddy-2372- Thanks for your questions I have answered them inline below.

Which starter lib/pack need to be added in the pom.xml file?

<dependency>  
<groupId>com.microsoft.azure</groupId>  
<artifactId>applicationinsights-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>  
<version>2.5.1</version>  
</dependency>  

You could refer to this page for list of versions of applicationinsights-spring-boot-starter.

Where the instrumentation key/ConnectionString needs to be added ?

You will have to add the below line to the Application.properties files which is present under the Resources folder.

How to use the telemetry client in the code

The below snippet is a sample code where. The REST API /GREETINGS returns "Hello World" and /USERS returns users from the backend.
The snippet has been referenced from the Deep Application Monitoring post.
The below snippet makes use of the Telemetry client to track success requests and errors (Exceptions)

@RestController  
@RequestMapping("/")  

public class Controller {  

  @Autowired  
  UserRepo userRepo;  

  @Autowired  
  TelemetryClient telemetryClient;  

  @GetMapping("/greetings")  
  public String greetings() {  
    // send event  
    telemetryClient.trackEvent("URI /greeting is triggered");  

    return "Hello World!";   
  }  

  @GetMapping("/users")  
  public List<User> users() {  
    try {  
      List<User> users;  

      // measure DB query benchmark  
      long startTime = System.nanoTime();  
      users = userRepo.findAll();  
      long endTime = System.nanoTime();  

      MetricTelemetry benchmark = new MetricTelemetry();  
      benchmark.setName("DB query");  
      benchmark.setValue(endTime - startTime);  
      telemetryClient.trackMetric(benchmark);  

      return users;  
    } catch (Exception e) {  
      // send exception information  
      telemetryClient.trackEvent("Error");  
   telemetryClient.trackTrace("Exception: " + e.getMessage());  

      throw new ResponseStatusException(HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR, e.getMessage());   
    }   
  }  

}
