Description
#### What problem would the feature you're requesting solve? Please describe.
When have a microservice solution based on Azure Functions and all services are logging inside the same Application Insights instance is order to allow us to monitor everything at one location. When accessing the "Live Metrics Stream", only "Cloud role instance" number is showing and no information about the "Cloud role name", making it hard to find which service to look into.
I raised the issue in Application Insights a long time ago, but they are doing nothing about it, no follow-up or triage, so I am asking here so that your users can use properly the tool supported by your platform.
Ref: https://github.com/microsoft/ApplicationInsights-Home/issues/393
#### Describe the solution you'd like
Could we have either a new column showing the Cloud Role Name or having an Instance Id that contains information about the cloud role name?

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the Live Metrics Stream integration in the Azure Functions host and review the linked Application Insights issue; done means the stream exposes a usable Cloud role name or an instance identifier that includes it.
