Renaming, aliasing or coalescing applications in Application Insights

This post details the process of renaming, aliasing, or coalescing applications in Application Insights. It explains that direct renaming is not supported and requires stopping monitoring, removing the old application, and then starting monitoring with the new name. It provides PowerShell commands for these operations and illustrates scenarios for differentiating applications across servers and for combining data from multiple servers into a single view. The post also mentions that the team is aware of the need for better disambiguation in the Applications view.
