App insights auto instrumentation not working properly - no requests logged but dependencies show up

Question

I've attempted to use the inter-op feature to have my app ignore the SDK, but it does not appear to be working. I attempted to remove all traces of AppInsights from my code (though there is still an ApplicationInsights.config file remaining after 'uninstalling' via VS). Here's what the status pages of Kudu look like:

Attach Status for Unknown application (PID: 2172) on dw1mdwk000029

• AppDomain ID 5
• AppDomain Name /LM/W3SVC/1451195374/ROOT-3-133408567588129977

Hi @Robert Russell

Referring to Troubleshoot Application Insights auto-instrumentation, make sure that none of the following libraries aren't being referenced after your attempt at scrubbing your app of the SDK.

• System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticSource
• Microsoft.AspNet.TelemetryCorrelation
• Microsoft.ApplicationInsights

You can also send a sample availability test from the kudu console of your app service in this guide and query availabilityResults for that sample. This will tell you overall if your Application Insights resource is working correctly.

If you still don't see anything on the Transaction search blade of your Application Insights resource, comment down below. I'll work with you offline to take a closer look.
