LAB: Monitoring Application Performance with Application Insights - heirarchical keys problem.

LAB: Monitoring Application Performance with Application Insights
STEP: 24

In the azure portal when I try to add the application key (Keys:ApplicationInsights:InstrumentationKey) to the appservice, I get the error

App setting names can only contain letters, numbers (0-9), periods ("."), and underscores ("_")

The demo needs to be updated to use an accepted heirarchy delimiter.

This is expected behaviour for Linux servers. I am not sure how my app ended up being hosted on Linux - I thought I followed the lab step by step...

Hi @housten, Thanks for the feedback. Looks like currently colon (:) is not accepted to be an application setting name. We will note down this and update the lab in further.

You can still provide a different name and continue the lab steps for now and I think you already did the same.
