We have ASP.Net Web App with AppInsights. There was ability in Azure Portal to view Session charts with groupping by client Operating System, Browser, Screen Resolution etc. But now, with a new version of AppInsights (2.1.0), it seemed that there is no option for gathering any information about screen resolution.
Is there any workaround? Or may be some additional specific configuration options?

I create an application installing Application Insights v2.1.0, and explore the data from Application Insights portal.

as you said, we could not find the properties storing about Device.ScreenResolution information.
Is there any workaround?
The Application Insights API provides calls TrackEvent(name) and TrackMetric(name, value), which enables us to send our own custom events and metrics. And there are equivalent calls for the client side. If you’d like to gather clients’ screen resolution, you could try to write custom telemetry. And you could get screen properties via javascript.
I found solution for this case. You can extend calling trackPageView method in your JavaScript code with additional parameters like this:
appInsights.trackPageView(
null,
null,
{
"Screen Resolution": screen.width + "x" + screen.height,
});
