Description

In some cases it is hard to understand what is going on with Application Insights SDK. Console tracing may help troubleshoot the issue. But change of console trace level require re-instrumentation.

I suggest to create an alternative way to change tracing level for Application Insights SDK using cookies or other runtime setting.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue, so begin by locating the Application Insights SDK's console tracing configuration and runtime initialization path. Define how a cookie or other runtime setting selects the tracing level, then verify that the level can change without re-instrumentation and that the behavior is covered by tests.
