Can Application Insights automatically track queries to Cosmos Db with connection mode Direct?

Question

Currently in Application Insights we are only seeing these operations between our .Net Core application and Cosmos db

but queries to actually query and insert data is not seen. We are using Direct connection mode as per the performance tips https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/performance-tips.

Do we have to manually track these queries or can this be done automatically, like when using Sql Server.

I turns out that queries to cosmos db using Direct connection mode are not automatically tracked, as stated here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/asp-net-dependencies#automatically-tracked-dependencies

So all queries to Cosmos db must be tracked manually.
