Create new telemetry handle for application insights that supports connection strings #3730
Description
Component (Azure NPM or Azure CNI):
Application Insights Telemetry
Describe in detail the feature/behavior/change you'd like to see:
The Application Insights telemetry handle currently supports only instrumentation keys, with the ingestion endpoint defaulting to some public Azure cloud.
This behavior does not accommodate scenarios involving sovereign or air-gapped clouds, where custom ingestion endpoints are required. As a result, the telemetry handle cannot be used effectively in such environments.
The proposal here is to introduce support for connection strings in the telemetry handle. This would allow parsing the connection string and taking the fields necessary to enable compatibility with sovereign cloud deployments
