Now I really do quite like the new Application Insights with Visual Studio 2013, and I don't want to remove it. However, it does spam my Debug output quite a lot.
I get rows upon rows of output like
Application Insights Telemetry: {"ver":1,"name":"Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.PerformanceCounter","time":"2015-04-23T11:38:03.1252550+01:00","iKey":"758c18d5-055e-48a8-bbcf-9c3301402b2c","tags":{"ai.internal.sdkVersion":"0.13.2.132","ai.application.ver":"Unknown","ai.device.type":"PC","ai.device.id":"Pat-PC","ai.device.oemName":"Dell Inc.","ai.device.model":"Dell XPS430 ","ai.device.network":"6","ai.device.language":"en-GB","ai.device.machineName":"Pat-PC","ai.device.os":"Windows NT 6.1.7601.65536"},"data":{"type":"Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.PerformanceCounterData","item":{"categoryName":"Processor","counterName":"% Processor Time","instanceName":"_Total","value":35.9710731506348,"ver":1}}}
This kinda makes it impossible for me to actually use the Debug output for my debug statements. How can I silence Application Insights, or configure Visual Studio to just not show those statements?

To turn off Application Insights, remove the module from the System. WebServer/Modules section of Web. config. If you want to remove it altogether, though, you should uninstall the Application Insight NuGet packages, and delete ApplicationInsights.
The only way to do that is to delete the entire Application Insights service configuration through the portal. And currently Application Insights has 7 days retention policy, so all data will be deleted automatically in 7 days.
By adjusting the configuration file, you can enable or disable Telemetry Modules and initializers, and set parameters for some of them. The configuration file is named ApplicationInsights. config or ApplicationInsights. xml , depending on the type of your application.
To simply turn off these messages, with no other side effects:
TelemetryDebugWriter.IsTracingDisabled = true;
Hans Passant is right. DeveloperMode is what triggers AI to write events in DebugOutput. Note though that it also forces AI to send data immediately. So if we set it to false data will be batched and sent out once a minute.
