Is Adaptive Sampling Disabled/Enabled by default by the application side on .NET Console App?

When we send Log To Application Insight using Telemetry Configuration and New TelemetryClient with CustomTelemetryInitializer Not using ApplicationInsight SDK Or Worker Service for a Console App.

Just Configured TelemetryConfiguration , create a Telemetry Client with that configuration , also configured a CustomTelemetryInitializer that let me append a global property. Now I use TelemetryClient to track my logs they are even logged at Azure Successfully . I do have one doubt though whether the AdaptiveSampling is Enabled or Disabled cause i don't have any options to configure in TelemetryConfiguration while setting ApplicationInsight Logging in My Console App. So What is default behaviour if i follow this approach.

If i use ApplicationInsight SDK in ASP.NET Core App by default it is enabled by default and we have to disable it manually by passing the configuration in ApplicationInisightsServiceOptions.

I tried Worker Service but seems to slow , maybe i configured incorrectly , I want to disable Adaptive Sampling From Application Side to Log every log my app procures

Adaptive Sampling is not enabled by default in a .NET Console Application when you're manually configuring TelemetryConfiguration and TelemetryClient.

In ASP.NET Core, Adaptive Sampling is enabled by default, but in a Console App using manual TelemetryConfiguration, no sampling is applied by default.

  • Please refer this MSdoc for better understanding about Adaptive sampling.

If you want to explicitly disable adaptive sampling, you can configure TelemetryProcessorChainBuilder to exclude any sampling processors.

Program.cs :

using System;
using System.Threading;
using Microsoft.ApplicationInsights;
using Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Extensibility;
using Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Extensibility.Implementation;
using Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Extensibility.Implementation.Tracing;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {

        var telemetryConfiguration = TelemetryConfiguration.CreateDefault();
        telemetryConfiguration.InstrumentationKey = "<instrumentation-key>";

        telemetryConfiguration.DefaultTelemetrySink.TelemetryProcessorChainBuilder.Use((next) => next); 
        telemetryConfiguration.DefaultTelemetrySink.TelemetryProcessorChainBuilder.Build();

        var telemetryClient = new TelemetryClient(telemetryConfiguration);

        telemetryClient.TrackTrace("This is a test log - Adaptive Sampling is disabled.");


        telemetryClient.Flush();
        Thread.Sleep(5000); 
    }
}

Refer this MSdoc to know how to disable adaptive sampling explicitly.
