Description

Please describe the documentation request or issue. Be as specific as possible.

Documentation about the function apps mentions the instrumentation key.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/configure-monitoring?tabs=v2#enable-application-insights-integration

Furthermore, Distributed tracing for the Durable Function seems to need instrumentation key as well

Scale controller logs do not work with the connection string, only with the instrumentation key

However, it is recommended to migrate to the connection string.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/migrate-from-instrumentation-keys-to-connection-strings

Is it a documentation issue or an issue in the function app sdk?
