If you open a modern page, then press F12 and open the network tab you can observe a lot of telemetry-related activities every several seconds. It makes it harder to debug SPFx customizations.

Is there a way to somehow disable these spammy telemetry calls? At least for a short period of time?

enter image description here

I was told that we can add ?disableTelemetry=true at the end of the URL to disable these telemetry calls, but it does not seem to work. Telemetry still goes through as usual.

I found the way to use Google Chrome network filters to partially remove telemetry, but I wonder if there a better option:

In Chrome F12 Dev tools, on the Network tab there is a filter text box. You can use it to write complex filter queries. This is how we can filter out some telemetry requests: -domain:browser.pipe.aria.microsoft.com -domain:browser.pipe.aria.microsoft.com

  1. Test in different browsers and see if there's any difference.
  2. If it's possible, switch to a different network.
  3. Create a new Site Collection based on the team site template. Check if it runs into the same issue.
  4. Add more Server Resource Quota to a SharePoint site collection.

This May Help, Peter

    Hi Peter. Thank you for your suggestion. Telemetry API calls will be sent regardless of which network or browser we are on. Telemetry is sent by design so it's not an "issue".
