Too much traces in AppInsights

[jeremydvoss]

Migrated from microsoft/ApplicationInsights-Python#317

I have the following function code:

from azure.monitor.opentelemetry import configure_azure_monitor
from opentelemetry import trace

logging.getLogger().handlers = []

configure_azure_monitor(connection_string=os.environ["APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING"])
tracer = trace.get_tracer(__name__)

app = fastapi.FastAPI()

@app.get("/x")
async def x():
   with tracer.start_as_current_span("aaaaa"):
      logging.info("a",extras={"b":1})

def main(req: func.HttpRequest, context: func.Context) -> func.HttpResponse:
    return func.AsgiMiddleware(app).handle(req, context)

With this code I removed the duplicated logs and I can see custom dimensions. However I am seeing 3 taces each 5s creating too much logs:

Request URL: 'https://westeurope-5.in.applicationinsights.azure.com//v2.1/track' Request method: 'POST' Request header
Response status: 200 Response headers: 'Transfer-Encoding': 'chunked' 'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8
Transmission succeeded: Item received: 3. Items accepted: 3

I tried the following env vars:

OTEL_PYTHON_EXCLUDED_URLS=.*applicationinsights\.azure\.com/.*
OTEL_PYTHON_REQUESTS_EXCLUDED_URLS=.*applicationinsights\.azure\.com/.*
OTEL_PYTHON_DISABLED_INSTRUMENTATIONS=django,asgi,wsgi,fastapi,flask,requests,urllib,urllib3
OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER=none

However, I am still seeing this. I have seen that your sdk calls this endpoint.

azure-sdk-for-python/sdk/monitor/azure-monitor-opentelemetry-exporter/azure/monitor/opentelemetry/exporter/_generated/operations/_azure_monitor_client_operations.py

Line 39 in 11437bb

_url = kwargs.pop("template_url", "/track")

But i don't know which library you use for http requests, probably this one:

azure-sdk-for-python/sdk/core/azure-core/azure/core/utils/_pipeline_transport_rest_shared.py

Line 27 in 11437bb

from http.client import HTTPConnection

.

Any idea on how to disable this logs being sent to AI?

Current status:
User wanted more control over which logs are sent to the traces table.

These additional logs are appearing in the "traces" table in your Application Insights resource correct? We have recently implemented a #32192 to define the specific logger that you want to collect traces telemetry. This should allow you to define the logger to your application logger instead of the default which is the root logger. This is why you are seeing logs collected from the SDK itself. This feature should be available soon in the next release.

Fixed with this for duplicate logs in functions environment and this for specifying root logger to trace.
