Rate-limited sampling is now the default, if you haven't configured a fixed percentage previously. By default, it will capture at most around five requests per second, along with their dependencies, traces, and custom events. See fixed-percentage sampling if you want to revert to the previous behavior of capturing 100% of requests.

Enhancements:

Standard metrics for HTTP requests and HTTP dependencies are now pre-aggregated inside of the Java agent, and so they are no longer affected by sampling (#2439).
Rate-limited sampling has been introduced which can be used to tune ingestion costs (#2456), e.g.
```
{
  "sampling": {
    "requestsPerSecond": 5
  }
}
```
Note: the requestsPerSecond can be a decimal value, including values less than 1.
Exceptions are no longer captured directly on dependency records for these reasons:
- in order to reduce ingestion cost
- dependency exceptions which are uncaught, bubble up to the request-level where they are already captured
- dependency exceptions which are caught, tend to be logged if they are important, where they are also already captured
  (#2423).

New versions of the applicationinsights-core and applicationinsights-web 2.x SDK artifacts have been released, with a reduced API surface area to makes it clear which APIs interop with the 3.x Java agent (#2418). These new versions are no-ops when run without the Java agent. To update your dependencies:

2.x dependency	Action	Remarks
`applicationinsights-core`	Update the version to `3.4.0-BETA` or later
`applicationinsights-web`	Update the version to `3.4.0-BETA` or later, and remove the Application Insights web filter your `web.xml` file.
`applicationinsights-web-auto`	Replace with `3.4.0-BETA` or later of `applicationinsights-web`
`applicationinsights-logging-log4j1_2`	Remove the dependency and remove the Application Insights appender from your log4j configuration.	This is no longer needed since Log4j 1.2 is auto-instrumented in the 3.x Javaagent.
`applicationinsights-logging-log4j2`	Remove the dependency and remove the Application Insights appender from your log4j configuration.	This is no longer needed since Log4j 2 is auto-instrumented in the 3.x Javaagent.
`applicationinsights-logging-log4j1_2`	Remove the dependency and remove the Application Insights appender from your logback configuration.	This is no longer needed since Logback is auto-instrumented in the 3.x Javaagent.
`applicationinsights-spring-boot-starter`	Replace with `3.4.0-BETA` or later of `applicationinsights-web`	The cloud role name will no longer default to `spring.application.name`, see the 3.x configuration docs for configuring the cloud role name.

ConnectionString overrides were introduced, and InstrumentationKey overrides were deprecated (#2471):

{
  "preview": {
    "connectionStringOverrides": [
      {
        "httpPathPrefix": "/myapp1",
        "connectionString": "InstrumentationKey=12345678-0000-0000-0000-0FEEDDADBEEF;IngestionEndpoint=...;..."
      },
      {
        "httpPathPrefix": "/myapp2",
        "connectionString": "InstrumentationKey=87654321-0000-0000-0000-0FEEDDADBEEF;IngestionEndpoint=...;..."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Configuration to disable jdbc masking was introduced (#2453):

{
  "instrumentation": {
    "jdbc": {
      "masking": {
        "enabled": false
      }
    }
  }
}

Sampling overrides can (and should) now be targeted to requests, dependencies, traces (logs) or exceptions (#2456), e.g.

{
  "preview": {
    "sampling": {
      "overrides": [
        {
          "telemetryKind": "dependency",
          ...
          "percentage": 0
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Ingestion response codes 502 and 504 now trigger storing telemetry to disk and retrying (#2438).
Metric namespaces are now supported via the new 3.x applicationinsights-core artifact (#2447).
Ingestion sampling warnings are now suppressed since those are expected (#2473).
Introduce a new preview feature: Java Profiler for Azure Monitor Application Insights
Update OpenTelemetry to 1.18.0 #2509.
Remove limit on filtering default metrics #2490.
Add a new config to export logback code attributes #2518

Bug Fixes:

Fix operation_Id and operation_parentID being captured as 00000000000000000000000000000000 for "standalone" log records (which occur outside of a request). These fields are now empty for "standalone" log records, to reflect that they are not part of an "operation" (i.e. request) #2432.

Application Insights Java 3.4.0-BETA Pre-release

Pre-release

Migration notes:

Rate-limited sampling is the new default. If you have not configured a sampling percentage and are using the prior default behavior of 100%, you will get the new default which limits the total requests captured to (approximately) 5 requests per second (along with their dependencies, traces and custom events). If you wish to continue with the previous behavior, you can explicitly specify a sampling percentage of 100, e.g.
```
{
  "sampling": {
    "percentage": 100
  }
}
```

Enhancements:

Standard metrics for HTTP requests and HTTP dependencies are now pre-aggregated inside of the Java agent, and so they are no longer affected by sampling (#2439).
