title: How to configure Application Insights to only track the count of calls in an Azure Function App
body: <p>I have an Azure Function App that is currently running and processing ~4k queries an hour. The application insight monitor is set to the default configuration of when it was automatically created.</p>
  
  <p>I want to use application insights to track <em>only</em> the operation count per API call. All the other telemetry and log data is mostly unnecessary and driving up the cost to use. How can I configure my function app so that I can track only how many calls is made per HTTP method?</p>
