the below map omits azure functions as a dependency and only shows

• connections to a keycloak oidc idp dependency
• • connections to a db server dependency
• connections from visual studio's debugging client side tools

connections from visual studio's debugging client side tools

however, the associated app insights instance is clearly aware of the connected functions deployment, wherby the traces of the durable functions sql provider are visible in live metrics as per

however, when the .net app sends rabbit mq messages to the functions app, there is no update to the application map to show the associated dependency

the givens

• .net 7 asp.net core web app with .cshtml views, some hosting angular components
• client side azure application insights javascript applied to layout template .cshtml
• • web api exposed in .net core web app, web api called on timer by
  • hosted background services running in asp.net core web app
  • azure durable functions orchestration triggered by rabbitmq messages sent from previously mentioned services

please advise

@ataxlab canary , Thank you for posting this question on Micrsoft Q&A.

The automatic dependency tracking is not done for Azure Functions OR for RabbitMQ calls. The list of automatically tracked dependencies are available in the table here - Application Insights - Automatically tracked dependencies

For any other type of external dependency to be tracked using ApplicationInsights, you would have to track those calls in the application itself using the telemetryClient.TrackDependency() method. For more details, see Manually tracking dependencies.

Hope this helps.
