AppInsights for IIS is being a bit of a pain

I am working on getting some data generated in our Solarwinds Observability Self Hosted Demo and having a really fun time with AppInsights for IIS.

I have done all of this - https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/sam/content/sam-advanced-manual-configuration-sw1632.htm?cshid=SAMAGAppInforIISManuallyEnable and have done this in the past on my Prod setup of Orion.

I had some fun creating the WinRM listener but was able to get it setup.

Node is running via Agent. What credentials is it looking for? Are there changes in AppInsights for IIS in Observability versus traditional Orion?

A trick I many times use is just adjust the "Powershell - Windows Url". Change it from https to http. As WinRm is encrypted in itself, the need for double encryption might not be needed.
Change to: http://${IP}:5985/wsman/

I gave that a try and no go. Would the logs on this be C:\ProgramData\SolarWinds\Logs\APM? I can see the account login to the node when I test but AppInsights will not install. Let me see if I can get another SAM monitor applied.

I was testing the Orion Observability - Main Polling Engine and one is reporting down and one is reporting disabled and the site is still up. I am going to run the configuration wizard and see if it is a website issue.

Most likely, the website is only responding on https and not http.

The https check is disabled so it didn't even test this. Try enabling that component.

It keeps getting more and more interesting and confusing. This was the https check.
