Application Insights Java 3.0.0 Preview

See 3.0 Preview: Getting started to get started with the 3.0 Preview release!

One of the major goals of the 3.0 Preview is to simplify the onboarding experience.

Adding the Application Insights Java SDK to your application is no longer required, as the 3.0 Preview agent auto-collects requests, dependencies, and logs all on its own.

But don't worry, it will still pick up custom telemetry that you send from your application, and the 3.0 Preview will track and correlate it along with all of the auto-collected telemetry.

Also new in 3.0 Preview is auto-instrumentation of several new libraries:

• JMS
• Kafka
• Netty/WebFlux
• Spring Scheduling
• Cassandra
• MongoDB async driver
• Redis Lettuce client
