### What will happen if I don't migrate my Application Insights classic resource to a workspace-based resource?
289+
290+
Microsoft will begin an automatic phased approach to migrating classic resources to workspace-based resources beginning in May 2024 and this migration will span the course of several months. We can't provide approximate dates that specific resources, subscriptions, or regions will be migrated.
291+
292+
We strongly encourage manual migration to workspace-based resources, which is initiated by selecting the deprecation notice banner in the classic Application Insights resource Overview pane of the Azure portal. This process typically involves a single step of choosing which Log Analytics workspace will be used to store your application data. If you use continuous export, you'll need to additionally migrate to diagnostic settings or disable the feature first.

If you don't wish to have your classic resource automatically migrated to a workspace-based resource, you may delete or manually migrate the resource.

To avoid this issue, make sure to use the latest version of the Terraform [azurerm provider](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/azurerm/latest), version 3.89 or higher, which performs the proper migration steps by issuing the appropriate ARM call to upgrade the App Insights classic resource to a workspace-based resource while preserving all the old data and connection string/instrumentation key values.

### Can I still use the old API to create Application Insights resources programmatically?

We strongly encourage updating to the [new API](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-monitor/app/resource-manager-app-resource) version to ensure only supported workspace-based resources are created.

For backwards compatibility, calls to the old API for creating Application Insights resources will continue to work. Each of these calls will eventually create both a workspace-based Application Insights resource and a Log Analytics workspace to store the data.

### Should I migrate diagnostic settings on classic Application Insights before moving to a workspace-based AI?
346350
Yes, we recommend migrating diagnostic settings on classic Application Insights resources before transitioning to a workspace-based Application Insights. It ensures continuity and compatibility of your diagnostic settings.
