Connection strings are the new preferred method of setting custom endpoints within Application Insights. Request to share info on if this is supported already. If not could we raise a request for the same?

It might be possible to accept either an Ikey or a connection string in both NewTelemetryClient and NewTelemetryConfiguration. If you need to use a custom endpoint, then do this as a workaround:

cfg := appinsights.NewTelemetryConfiguration(ikey)
cfg.EndpointUrl = "https://dc.applicationinsights.azure.cn/v2/track" // Data collector endpoint URL
client := appinsights.NewTelemetryClientFromConfig(cfg)
