How does it works ?

nitro-applicationinsights is simply a package which provides a plugin for nitro.

It setup the default client of applicationinsights on nitro start up. You can configure this by hooking into the applicationinsights:config hook of nitro.

Since applicationinsights v3 uses Opentelemetry under the hood, this nitro plugin also run nitro-opentelemetry.

Automated traces

The nitro-opentelemetry plugin will automatically trace all your incoming and outgoing request from your Nitro server. This means that you don't need to call defaultClient.trackDependency() yourself.
