Environment:
OS: NixOS 23.05 (Linux)
Node: 18.17.1
applicationinsights version: 2.9.0
After upgrading the applicationinsights package in my project from 2.7.3 to 2.8.0 and then to 2.9.0 when running my NodeJS application using the APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING variable as done prior to 2.8.0 I get the warning:
[1] ApplicationInsights:Invalid JSON config file: [

the warning is not present during build and goes away if i provide the applicationinsights.json however this functionality looks to be opt-in via the APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONFIGURATION_FILE variable which I've not set.
When the application is running after the warning, the live metrics page doesnt load and reports no telemetry is being received, this works again as expected when downgrading to 2.7.3.
My application insights initialisation looks like the following:
applicationInsights.setup()
.setSendLiveMetrics(true)
.setAutoCollectConsole(true, true)
.setAutoCollectDependencies(true)
.setAutoCollectExceptions(true)
.setAutoCollectHeartbeat(true)
.setAutoCollectPerformance(true)
.setAutoCollectPreAggregatedMetrics(true)
.setAutoDependencyCorrelation(true)
.start();
