Stop Application Insights

Question

We installed Application Insights for our Web Application hosted in Azure portal.

Now it sends reports, etc, the application is just started, we don't need all that data. Is there a way to completely stop/disable all data collection/reports by the Application Insights?

My application is ASP.NET Core one, I have a ConnectedService.json file under "Application Insights" folder, with the following content

{
  "ProviderId": "Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.ConnectedService.ConnectedServiceProvider",
  "Version": "8.6.404.2",
  "GettingStartedDocument": {
    "Uri": "https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=798432"
  }
}

Answer 1

You could put a daily cap on your collected data.

It's under Configure -> Features & pricing. You can go as low as 0.0323 GB a day. Which amounts to about 40 cents a month.

This way you don't have to publish your app to stop or start collecting data.

But this way you have to be able to accept a console error.
