Note: The Watchdog Windows binary is downloaded along with Traefik binary by running the script $REPO_ROOT\Traefik\Scripts\Get-TraefikBinary.ps1.

1. Add or uncomment the following lines in your /Traefik/ApplicationPackageRoot/ApplicationManifest.xml

<ApplicationManifest>
    <ServiceManifestImport>
        <ServiceManifestRef ServiceManifestName="Watchdog" ServiceManifestVersion="1.0.0" />
        <ConfigOverrides />
        <Policies>
          <RunAsPolicy CodePackageRef="Code" UserRef="AdminUser" EntryPointType="All" />
        </Policies>
  </ServiceManifestImport>
  ...
  <DefaultServices>
    ...
    <Service Name="Watchdog" ServicePackageActivationMode="ExclusiveProcess">
      <StatelessService ServiceTypeName="WatchdogType" InstanceCount="[Traefik_InstanceCount]">
        <SingletonPartition />
      </StatelessService>
    </Service>
    ...
  </DefaultServices>
  ...
  </ApplicationManifest>

2. Copy your Application Insights instrumentation key in into the placeholder __YOURKEYHERE__ in /Treafik/ApplicationPackageRoot/Watchdog/ServiceManifest.xml

      <ExeHost>
        <Program>traefik-appinsights-watchdog.exe</Program>
        <Arguments>--appinsightskey=__YOURKEYHERE__ --watchdogtestserverport=29001 --pollintervalsec=60 --debug=true</Arguments>
        <WorkingFolder>CodePackage</WorkingFolder>
        <!-- Uncomment to log console output (both stdout and stderr) to one of the
             service's working directories. -->
        <!-- <ConsoleRedirection FileRetentionCount="5" FileMaxSizeInKb="2048" /> -->
      </ExeHost>
