apply the wcf telemetry on two environments, One is getting the API operation contract logging, but another env didn't log properly

[EdmondAndy]

I am following the instruction of https://github.com/microsoft/ApplicationInsights-SDK-Labs/tree/master/WCF to set up WCF detailed logging for traditional WCF applications under two envs. the same instruction and same packages added into the WCF app directories. however only one env can log detailed API contacts info. I used file differ tools to compare the app directories under these two env, they are identical. anyone can throw some ideas to narrow down the issue why not working under one env?

[haldiggs]

a fairly generic question. so you are just looking for troubleshooting ideas?

1. check web.config for telemetry TelemetryCorrelationHttpModule
2. ApplicationInsightsWebTracking
3. InstrumentationKey
4. serviceTelemetry key added to proper location

too many things... but that should get you something

[EdmondAndy]

@haldiggs yes, our situation is to enable detailed wcf API operation logs without re-complying the whole code base. https://github.com/microsoft/ApplicationInsights-SDK-Labs/tree/master/WCF followed this link and it seems doing the work under our UAT env. but when move to another env, well the result turns out to be different. so I am thinking if there are any dependencies related with Server components. originally I want to ask the right question to find out what is the difference between this two environments (AppInsights WCF logging working for one, but not for the other). did lots of file comparison, I couldn't see the difference

[EdmondAndy]

@haldiggs in UAT env, we have web.config and applicationinsights.config files under the wcf service directories. the Telemetry modules are defined inside the applicationinsights.config file, don't see TelemetryCorrelationHttpModule inside our applicationsinsights.config file.

TelemetryCorrelationHttpModule is setup in the web config. If it's working in UAT I would imagine you should be able to detect missing parts. Hal D. on my Android

I may not see your whole file here but I also don't see an instrumentationkey That is definitely needed for your system won't know where to send information Hal D. on my Android

@haldiggs the instrumentation key already appended at the bottle of the applicationinsights.config file.
The problem is I don't see the missing parts between UAT and the other environment under App directory, powershell status V2 runtime directory. I used diff tool to compare, files under two envs are identical
