This Agreement covers any and all Submissions that You, now or in the future (except as described in Section 4 below), Submit to any Project. 3. Originality of Work. You represent that each of Your Submissions is entirely Your original work. Should You wish to Submit materials that are not Your original work, You may Submit them separately to the Project if You (a) retain all copyright and license information that was in the materials as You received them, (b) in the description accompanying Your Submission, include the phrase “Submission containing materials of a third party:” followed by the names of the third party and any licenses or other restrictions of which You are aware, and (c) follow any other instructions in the Project’s written guidelines concerning Submissions. 4. Your Employer. References to “employer” in this Agreement include Your employer or anyone else for whom You are acting in making Your Submission, e.g. as a contractor, vendor, or agent. If Your Submission is made in the course of Your work for an employer or Your employer has intellectual property rights in Your Submission by contract or applicable law, You must secure permission from Your employer to make the Submission before signing this Agreement. In that case, the term “You” in this Agreement will refer to You and the employer collectively. If You change employers in the future and desire to Submit additional Submissions for the new employer, then You agree to sign a new Agreement and secure permission from the new employer before Submitting those Submissions. 5.

You grant Microsoft, and those who receive the Submission directly or indirectly from Microsoft, a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable license under Your patent claims that are necessarily infringed by the Submission or the combination of the Submission with the Project to which it was Submitted to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell and import or otherwise dispose of the Submission alone or with the Project. * Other Rights Reserved.

@snakefoot - Thank you for approving changes. Can you please approve the PR to merge the code.

[snakefoot]

@saidi-adot Only repository owners like @TimothyMothra, @cijothomas or @teo-tsirpanis can merge pull-requests here.

[teo-tsirpanis]

@snakefoot I am not a repository owner. 😅

[saidi-adot]

@TimothyMothra / @cijothomas - Can you please review the changes and merge the PR.

[saidi-adot]

@TimothyMothra / @cijothomas - Can you please review this PR

[saidi-adot]

@cijothomas - I fixed the build issues and committed the new changes. Can you please review now..

[cijothomas]

Given the overall direction is to use OpenTelemetry, I am not sure if we want to keep adding new features to this repo anymore. Though I agree that this is a relatively small fix with valid use case. since ConnectionString is going to be mandatory soon..... I'll defer to @rajkumar-rangaraj and @TimothyMothra to give direction here.

[PawelAdamczuk]

I am waiting for this to get merged.

As to comment by @cijothomas, in the project I'm working on, we recently switched from legacy logging to ApplicationInsights, so, at least for us, it's not going away anytime soon.

There's this recommendation in the docs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/opentelemetry-enable?tabs=aspnetcore#should-i-use-opentelemetry-or-the-application-insights-sdk
so I suppose our project is not the only one still opting for AI over OT.

[cijothomas]

This could be tricky... Will this affect the TC.Active? Or this will only affect the telemetryclient owned by nlogtarget? The ikey approach only affected own telemetryclient, and nothing else.

[saidi-adot]

@cijothomas - this.telemetryClient field is local for this Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.NLogTarget.ApplicationInsightsTarget class. Is there any other code to refer to for the iKey approach?
