Solution

  • By default, the value of AspNetCoreEnvironment of the deployed App is Production.

    • You can see the 2 deployment slots here. I have deployed my sample App to Staging and Production.

    • In Application Insights, you can see that even for the staging slot the Environment is shown as Production.

    • If you want to change the value, it can be done from the Application Setting under Settings => Environment Variables.

    • Add the setting for the particular deployment slot where you want to change the value.
