Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We are interested in utilizing OpenTelemetry with Azure Monitor and also want to send Custom Events to Application Insights.
As per the documentation, currently, this capability is not supported, requiring us to fall back on the classic Application Insights SDK.
At the moment, all types of span events are categorized as "Traces" in Application Insights, which is a significant barrier for us in adopting OpenTelemetry.
Describe the solution you'd like
According to the documentation here, the ability to send Custom Events via OpenTelemetry Azure Monitor is supposed to be "available as a public preview", but I haven't been able to find any further information on this. Could you provide an estimated time of arrival for this feature?
Is there any known workaround? At the very least, we're interested in the possibility of sharing configurations (e.g., sampling rate) between Azure Monitor and the default Application Insights client, just in case.
Thank you for your work!
Describe alternatives you've considered
Reverting to the classic Application Insights SDK.
