        this IDistributedApplicationBuilder builder,
        string name,
        IResourceBuilder<AzureLogAnalyticsWorkspaceResource>? logAnalyticsWorkspace)
    {
        // ...
    }
}
```

## Parameters

- `builder` (`IDistributedApplicationBuilder`)
  The `Hosting.IDistributedApplicationBuilder`.
- `name` (`string`)
  The name of the resource. This name will be used as the connection string name when referenced in a dependency.
- `logAnalyticsWorkspace` (`IResourceBuilder<AzureLogAnalyticsWorkspaceResource>`)
  A resource builder for the log analytics workspace.

## Returns

`IResourceBuilder<AzureApplicationInsightsResource>` -- A reference to the `ApplicationModel.IResourceBuilder`1`.

## Remarks

This overload is not available in polyglot app hosts. Use [AzureApplicationInsightsExtensions.AddAzureApplicationInsights(IDistributedApplicationBuilder, string)](/reference/api/csharp/aspire.hosting.azure.applicationinsights/azureapplicationinsightsextensions/methods.md#addazureapplicationinsights-idistributedapplicationbuilder-string) and [AzureApplicationInsightsExtensions.WithLogAnalyticsWorkspace(IResourceBuilder<AzureApplicationInsightsResource>, BicepOutputReference)](/reference/api/csharp/aspire.hosting.azure.applicationinsights/azureapplicationinsightsextensions/methods.md#withloganalyticsworkspace-iresourcebuilder-azureapplicationinsightsresource-bicepoutputreference) instead.

```csharp
public static class AzureApplicationInsightsExtensions
{
    public static IResourceBuilder<AzureApplicationInsightsResource> WithLogAnalyticsWorkspace(
        this IResourceBuilder<AzureApplicationInsightsResource> builder,
        BicepOutputReference workspaceId)
    {
        // ...
    }
}
```

## Parameters

- `builder` (`IResourceBuilder<AzureApplicationInsightsResource>`)
  The resource builder for [AzureApplicationInsightsResource](/reference/api/csharp/aspire.hosting.azure.applicationinsights/azureapplicationinsightsresource.md).
