How to disable Application Insights in Azure Functions

2
votes

Since recently, Azure Functions began forcing users to use Application Insights to capture invocation logs, instead of using the previous simple system that shows 20 most recent invocations.

My old Function Apps that didn't use Application Insights still work fine and show the logs properly.

For new Function Apps, how do I disable Application Insights and see the invocation logs without it?

Update

The original answer only works for v1 functions, 2.x runtime doesn't send logs(provided by ILogger) to the table consumed by Azure WebJobs Dashboard anymore.

Without Application Insights, we could only turn to kudu(https://<functionAppName>.scm.azurewebsites.net/DebugConsole) and navigate to D:\home\LogFiles\Application\Functions\function\<functoinName> for persisted logs.

Origin

Go to Application settings on Azure portal

  1. Delete APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY(if there is)

  2. Add AzureWebJobsDashboard with one Storage Connection String.
