Azure Application insight server performance monitoring

Question

HI,
I am using Azure application insight and want to know how to handle below scenarios.
1) using Azure AppInsight across my application workflow which contains some non-asp.net components. I have a web role and a worker role, I can use AI in web role, but how can I use it in worker role. goal is to have end-to-end tracking for my workflow.
2) in web role, is there an option to get call timing details for my server side code. for page timing, I want to drill down which method in that page took maximum time.
3)when I use APp Insight javascript code in my page for tracking, it start collecting data. Is there an option to specifiy my some custom ID to log along with data. Presently AI logs its own sessionId and requestId, I want to associate my customId(per request)
against the captured data.
Thanks

Add Application Insights API nuget to your application, update the instrumentation key in the config to match
the one from you AI resource, then you can
TelemetryClient telemetryClient = new TelemetryClient();
and use methods such as TrackTrace, TraceRequest, TrackMetric/Event etc.
