Set environment variable AZURE_EXPERIMENTAL_ENABLE_GENAI_TRACING=true' ## Body Cause (Documented platform behavior): The connection string is read from the project's Application Insights connection; GenAI tracing is gated behind AZURE_EXPERIMENTAL_ENABLE_GENAI_TRACING. Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Assuming tracing is on because instrument() didn't raise; missing env var only logs a warning. Other error fragments: - GenAI tracing is not enabled. Set environment variable AZURE_EXPERIMENTAL_ENABLE_GENAI_TRACING=true to enable this experimental feature. - Azure Core Tracing Opentelemetry is not installed. Please install it using 'pip install azure-core-tracing-opentelemetry' Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/1053b0652a66b30d3d51844320b54af22600b50b/sdk/ai/azure-ai-projects/azure/ai/projects/operations/_patch_telemetry.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Raises ResourceNotFoundError when no Application Insights connection exists. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/1053b0652a66b30d3d51844320b54af22600b50b/sdk/ai/azure-ai-projects/azure/ai/projects/telemetry/_ai_project_instrumentor.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Warns that GenAI tracing is not enabled unless AZURE_EXPERIMENTAL_ENABLE_GENAI_TRACING=true.
