VideoOS.Platform.Telemetry connecting to Azure Application Insights ingest-endpoint

What the F is this? Why is my application sending data too some Azure cloud thing? Per this guide it is something i need to enable,

I did not enable it, i dont use the manufacturer name and integration name ? Its a stand alone app using the latest sdk..

I made a log thing to monitor :

23:46:19.327 http-send endpoint=https://westeurope-5.in.applicationinsights.azure.com/v2/track encoding=gzip contentType=application/x-json-stream bytes=477
23:46:19.328 http-items null
23:46:19.329 http-body {“name”:“AppPageViews”,“time”:“2026-09-01T21:45:49.3138383Z”,“iKey”:“**removed for privacy **”,“tags”:{“ai.session.id”:“*removed for privacy *”},“data”:{“baseType”:“PageViewData”,“baseData”:{“ver”:2,“name”:“PlaybackController”,“duration”:“00:00:00”,“properties”:{“SubIdentifier”:“GeneratePlaybackController”,“Identifier”:“VideoOS.Platform.Client.PlaybackController”,“environmentID”:“SDK”}}}}

Why am i leaking data, and how is this no made clear in the MIP SDK EULA
And more importantly how do i disable this ?

The telemetry data sent by VideoOS.Platform.Telemetry is controlled by the XProtect privacy settings.

An administrator can enable or disable this in the Management Client under:

Options > Tools > Privacy settings

See the Administrator Guide:

When telemetry sharing is enabled, XProtect can send usage and diagnostic information, including information about features and methods being used by the various clients.

For more details about the type of data collected and how it is handled, see:

It is not made clear in any documentation that this is happening when using SDK tools, its sending from my App ( and host ) that uses the mip-sdk, not the main server.

Looks like a opt out setting also , that is enabled by default ?

Yes, the setting that controls telemetry transmission to the Azure Application Insights ingest endpoint is enabled by default.
If it has not been explicitly disabled in the configuration, the telemetry component will attempt to send telemetry data to the configured Application Insights endpoint.
