Application Map in App insights for Python-based functions

We're using a number of Azure Functions (C# and Python based) connected to the same Application Insights instance. C# based functions are displayed nicely on Application Map with all their dependencies, external HTTP calls, etc, but the Python functions aren't, they're just shown as circles with no dependencies (even though they're talking to the same resources). What should I do to get Python function dependencies to show on the Application Map?

    @Andrey Baranov Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

    I see that your ask is specific to the Python based Azure Function app and monitoring it using Application Map feature of AppInsights.

    As per the application map documentation, for Python, you can use OpenCensus Python telemetry processors. 

    def callback_function(envelope):
   envelope.tags['ai.cloud.role'] = 'new_role_name'

# AzureLogHandler
handler.add_telemetry_processor(callback_function)

# AzureExporter
exporter.add_telemetry_processor(callback_function)

    More Info about analyzing Logs, Tracing, metrics in OpenCensus for Python is here.

    If you want to Enable Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry for .NET, Node.js, Python and Java applications, please follow the steps mention here for Python.

    If you intend to use Live metrics in Azure Monitor, then Our docs says that Live Metrics is currently supported for ASP.NET, ASP.NET Core, Azure Functions, Java, and Node.js apps. And its not available for Python.

    Hope this answers.
