I have connected Application Insights to Azure API Management to monitor the API-traffic.
The default configuration is used, with no Diagnostics logs enabled on individual APIs.
Some APIs have heavy traffic and data ingestion to Application Insights causing a bigger cost.
Is it possible to turn off the monitoring/data ingestion of individual APIs?
Hi @Anonymous
Yes, you can specify loggers on different levels - single API logger or a logger for all APIs.
Please refer to this document: https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-howto-app-insights#enable-application-insights-logging-for-your-api
So this will override the default ingestion of data to Application Insights?, I haven't enabled any Diagnostics Logs of my APIs.
And if I enabled this on one of my APIs and set the sampling rate to 0%, there will not be any ingestion of data to Application Insights for this API?
Hi @Anonymous
Yes, your understanding is correct. If you have enabled the default ingestion and then enable Application Insights with 0% sampling rate at the API level then it will take API level setting (more granular level). Therefore, there will be no logs transfer from the API where you have updated this setting. I have tested and confirm the same at my end.
Let me know if you have any concerns.

I have reported a bug regarding this configuration. If you set the sampling rate to 0% and uncheck "Always log errors", then all log data is sent to Application Insights, instead of none. A temporary solution is to set the sampling rate to 1% to keep the data ingestion down.
