title: How can I use Application Insights locally with Azure Functions?
body: <p>I'm using the interface ILogger to log events inside my Azure functions. I can publish it in Azure and connect it to Application Insights in Azure. </p>
  
  <p>I want to see my logs inside Application Insights in my Visual Studio during development. In <a href="https://www.hanselman.com/blog/ExploringApplicationInsightsForDisconnectedOrConnectedDeepTelemetryInASPNETApps.aspx" rel="noreferrer">here</a> I can see this is possible in a ASP.NET Core Web Application putting some code in Startup.cs. Is something similar possible with Azure Functions using the new project template from the tooling in VS 2017?</p>
  
  <p>I'm using VS 2017 and Azure Function CLI 1.0.0-beta-100. </p>
