Controlling Application Insights javascript injection

Question

The Application Insights extensions in Visual Studio and Azure appear to inject the javascript snippet for page view tracking automatically, even though the docs say you enable this with an Application Setting key "APPINSIGHTS_JAVASCRIPT_ENABLED" = true.

Other docs show how to add the same javascript in my layout view, which I did. As a result I'm now seeing the AI javascript twice, once from my view, once from the AI magic. I'd prefer to control this myself -- how can I prevent the tooling from modifying the pages to inject the script? Setting APPINSIGHTS_JAVASCRIPT_ENABLED to false doesn't seem to work.

I'm working in an ASP.NET Core 2.0 web application.

Try upgrading to the lastest version of Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.AspNetCore. They released a new version (2.2.0) today, which resolved the problem for me! The javascript part is not added automatically anymore!
