On the Application settings page, you can control whether to display machine names, collect application data, manage custom tags, and delete applications.
Background information
By default, the Managed Service for OpenTelemetry console displays the IP addresses of the machines where your application is deployed. You can change this setting to display machine names on the Custom Configuration tab of the Application settings page.
The setting affects only new data. For example, if you turn on the Display machine name switch and save the setting, only new data displays the machine name. Existing data still displays the IP address.

To stop billing for an application, you can turn off data collection.
On the Application settings page, you can also enable or disable specific tags for the current application and manage all tags for your account. You can delete an application when it is no longer needed.

Stop collecting application data
