Description

It was identified recently that azure application insights enables its smart detection automatically when we use terraform to create app insights as per the document below,
https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/azurerm/r/application_insights.html

As a result of that, there are lot of alerts generated to heap of users who has the monitoring reader role assigned in the azure platform and it creates a big noise for any azure app service deployments linked with a app insights service for monitoring purposes.
we are heavily depend on creating azure infra using terraform, So it would be great if we could get a way to disable these alerts in azurerm_application_insights resource.
