If this is not the way to manually instrument my Go-App, what is it?

Hi folks,

My Go application is able to push metrics using the OTLP exporter. I was able to connect it to Application Insights using the OTEL azuremonitorexporter. However, I had to deploy the OTEL Operator thus the Cert Manager and then create an OpenTelemetryCollector instance using the azuremonitor exporter. I would like to avoid all that and be able to push from my Go app directly to Application Insights just using the connection string. How can I do that if this repo is not maintained anymore?

Thanks!

Have you found any solutions to this? I'm encountering the same issue right now, where I want to push the otel data from the app to Application Insights, similar to how we do it with any other .NET app.

Nope 🙁
