How to turn off the logging done by the ASP.NET core framework

Question

How do I turn off the logging done by ASP.NET for each request e.g.

INFO 09:38:41 User profile is available. Using \'C:\\Users\\xxxx xxxx\\AppData\\L

Answer 1

Setting Logging.LogLevel in appsettings.json for the key Microsoft was not enough. I had to specifically set the following keys specifically, e.g.:

"Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime": "Warning",
"Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.Diagnostics": "Warning",
"Microsoft.AspNetCore.StaticFiles.StaticFileMiddleware": "Warning"

But as an alternative using a key with a wildcard, e.g. Microsoft.*, worked. So I ended up with:

{
  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default":     "Warning",
      "Microsoft.*": "Warning" 
  }
  ...
}
