I installed vs 2022 today and when running my project I suddenly se all these requests firing in my web front-end

https://dc.services.visualstudio.com/v2/track

Does anyone know why this would suddenly start happening after upgraing to vs 2022?

I don't want to see these requests in local dev environment. How can I remove them?

I tried checking this box but it didn't help:

I also tried ignoring the AI dependency after right-clicking clicking Project -> Configure Application Insights, but that seems to do nothing:

You can follow my steps to disable Application Insights when you debug.

First you can add

#if !DEBUG
services.AddApplicationInsightsTelemetry();
#endif

in ConfigureServices.

And second you need add

#if DEBUG
TelemetryConfiguration.Active.DisableTelemetry = true;
TelemetryDebugWriter.IsTracingDisabled = true;
#endif

in Configure.

I found several solutions (the 1st option helped me):

1. Disable browser connection

Tools > Options > Project & Solutions > ASP.NET Core

CSS Hot Reload - Disabled

May you need to restart VS after changing that option.

Go to the browser link toolbar and click the arrow pointing down - shown below. Turn off "Enable browser link" so that it no longer has a check mark Restart Visual Studio after you have done this.

2. Disable Insights

Tools > Options > Project & Solutions > Web Projects

turn on "Disable local Application Insights for ASP.NET Core web projects"

In file Startup.cs:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services){
...
#if !DEBUG
services.AddApplicationInsightsTelemetry();
#endif
...
}

and:

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env){
...
#if DEBUG
TelemetryConfiguration.Active.DisableTelemetry = true;
TelemetryDebugWriter.IsTracingDisabled = true;
#endif
...
}

3. Edit file hosts

Add in file hosts:

  • 127.0.0.1 dc.services.visualstudio.com
  • 127.0.0.1 rt.services.visualstudio.com

Thanks for reporting this. We've investigated it and identified the source of that request. The request has been removed and the fix will be included in an upcoming release. You can keep track of when it is released by following this feedback ticket, to which other similar tickets were duped.
