[QUESTION] send analytics and crashed to Azure Application Insights using this SDK

[rzeznickij]

With the App Center shutting down next year (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/appcenter/retirement), I'm wondering if I'm able to replace the collection and upload of custum analytics, logs and crashes from my android app to Azure Application Insights using this OpenTelemetry SDK.

I need to upload/export data (analytics, logs, crashes) from my android app to Azure Application Insights.

Am I able to do this with this SDK or JAVA version (https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java) ?

Hi @rzeznickij, thanks for the question. Unfortunately, this is a vendor-specific question that may be difficult for the maintainers of this community repo to answer (none of us are Azure/Microsoft experts). We do have a few folks from the App Insights team working on OTel, so I will ask around and see if one of them can provide additional pointers to docs or other, ahem, insights.

My guess is that it the answer is yes, it should be possible to get OTLP data from the android agent into their service...but I have no idea about the level of integration between what this sdk provides and the AppInsights experience.
