How can I remove ApplicationInsights from my app

[kinglionsoft]

When I start an Asp .Net Core 2.0 application, ApplicationInsights Logger will be auto added.

Debug: Loaded hosting startup assembly Microsoft.AspNetCore.ApplicationInsights.HostingStartup

How can I remove it?

I have this question as well. My output is full of useless entries that I'm not using like the one below, and they just hide what I'm really trying to see. I do not have AI installed, I don't even have the extension installed in VS, yet they're still being logged to my console.

Application Insights Telemetry (unconfigured): {"name":"Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Dev.Message","time":"2017-10-24T18:24:35.3816064Z" ...

@vaindil To control the amount of logging Application Insights listens to and converts to ApplicationInsights Traces, you can modify appsettings.json to somelike this..

{
"Logging": {
"IncludeScopes": false,
"Debug": {
"LogLevel": {
"Default": "Trace"
}
},
"Console": {
"LogLevel": {
"Default": "Warning"
}
},
"ApplicationInsights": {
"LogLevel": {
"Default": "None"
}
}
}
}

This will get rid of all Trace messages. (you can configure this in code also)
(ApplicationInsights will still collect/show Requests/Dependencies though).

I agree this may not be ideal, will provide a better answer on how to remove application insights completely soon.

Closing this issue here, as there an issue open in aspnet repo to prevent auto-opt-in for application insights.

Where can be tracked the progress on this? The issue @cijothomas references is also closed.

@joalcava dotnet/aspnetcore#2051 (comment) This shows latest VS which include an option to not have application insights. Let me know if this helps you.
