Disable Dependency Telemetry logs, Python

Question

I have a function app that has a durable function built with python.

here is my host.json

{
  "version": "2.0",
  "functionTimeout": "00:30:00",
  "logging": {
    "logLevel": {
      "default": "Warning"
    },
    "applicationInsights": {
      "samplingSettings": {
        "isEnabled": true,
        "excludedTypes": "Request;Dependency",
        "maxTelemetryItemsPerSecond": 10
      },
      "enableLiveMetrics": false,
      "enableDependencyTracking": false
    }
  },
  "telemetryMode": "OpenTelemetry",
  "extensionBundle": {
    "id": "Microsoft.Azure.Functions.ExtensionBundle",
    "version": "[4.*, 5.0.0)"
  },
  "extensions": {
    "durableTask": {
      "hubName": "CarenoteOrchestrationHub",
      "maxConcurrentActivityFunctions": 10,
      "maxConcurrentOrchestratorFunctions": 10,
      "storageProvider": {
        "partitionCount": 4,
        "trackingStoreNamePrefix": "DurableTask",
        "maxQueuePollingInterval": "00:05:00"  
      },
      "tracing": {
        "traceInputsAndOutputs": false,
        "traceReplayEvents": false
      },
      "useGracefulShutdown": true
    }
  }
}

I am seeing these Dependency logs being made to my storage

how do i disable these?

Also in my function app i have this setting, not sure why i am still seeing those logs and live stream as well

resource = Resource.create({
    "service.name": Config.OTEL_SERVICE_NAME,
    "service.instance.id": os.getenv("WEBSITE_INSTANCE_ID", socket.gethostname())
})
configure_azure_monitor(
    connection_string=os.getenv("APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING"),
    instrumentation_options={"azure_sdk": {"enabled": False}, "requests": {"enabled": False}},
    resource=resource,
)

Hello Ashrith P,

Thanks for sharing the answer.

After you did something like this

PythonCopy

class StorageSpanFilter(SpanProcessor):
    def on_start(self, span, parent_context):
        if self._should_filter(span):
            # Mark span as non-exportable
            span._context = SpanContext(
                trace_id=span.context.trace_id,
                span_id=span.context.span_id,
                is_remote=span.context.is_remote,
                trace_flags=TraceFlags(TraceFlags.DEFAULT),
                trace_state=span.context.trace_state
            )

    def _should_filter(self, span):
        return any([
            "applease" in span.name.lower(),
            span.name.startswith(("Azure.Storage.Queues", "Azure.Data.Tables")),
            any(x in span.attributes.get(SpanAttributes.HTTP_URL, "") 
               for x in ("blob.core.windows.net", "table.core.windows.net"))
        ])


# Configure Application Insights / Azure Monitor
resource = Resource.create({
    "service.name": Config.OTEL_SERVICE_NAME,
    "service.instance.id": os.getenv("WEBSITE_INSTANCE_ID", socket.gethostname())
})
configure_azure_monitor(
    connection_string=os.getenv("APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING"),
    span_processors=[StorageSpanFilter()],
    instrumentation_options={"azure_sdk": {"enabled": True}},
    resource=resource,
)

and then i changed the host.json to this

JSONCopy

{
  "version": "2.0",
  "functionTimeout": "00:30:00",
  "logging": {
    "logLevel": {
      "Azure.Storage": "Warning",
      "Azure.Data.Tables": "Warning",
      "DurableTask.AzureStorage": "Warning",
      "Host.Triggers": "Warning"
    },
    "applicationInsights": {
      "samplingSettings": {
        "isEnabled": true,
        "excludedTypes": "Request"
      }
    }
  },
  "extensionBundle": {
    "id": "Microsoft.Azure.Functions.ExtensionBundle",
    "version": "[4.21.0, 5.0.0)"
  },
  "extensions": {
    "durableTask": {
      "hubName": "CarenoteOrchestrationHub",
      "maxConcurrentActivityFunctions": 5,
      "maxConcurrentOrchestratorFunctions": 5,
      "storageProvider": {
        "partitionCount": 4,
        "trackingStoreNamePrefix": "DurableTask",
        "maxQueuePollingInterval": "00:05:00"
      },
      "useGracefulShutdown": true
    }
  }
}

You do not see the dependency logs like before, also you removed the "telemetryMode": "OpenTelemetry", the live metrics still has some other calls that you see, you can apply filter to filter those out, for now this seems to be working well.
