adding @lmolkova and @cijothomas. I know we have examples on the wiki for ITelemetryInitializer's and Processors for ASP.NET Core. I don't know if we have any console app centric examples for .NET core, but I would be happy to add them to the docs if we do.

[lmolkova]

here is the article about it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/application-insights/application-insights-console#full-example

This example works for .NEt Core or .NET full framework.

if you are on .NET Core, please avoid using TelemetryConfiguration.Active and construct your own with TelemetryConfiguration.CreateDefault() instead.

@lmolkova You mentioned that using TelemetryConfiguration.Active should be avoid, but what is the reason? I've seen in the documentation that configuring ITelemetryInitializers with the TelemetryConfiguration.Active.TelemetryInitializers.Add is not allowed in .Net Core. But I am doing it like this and I don't get any errors and the initializers are working correctly

[cijothomas]

microsoft/ApplicationInsights-dotnet#1152 Active is deprecated for .NET Core.
