How can I tune Application Insights smart detection alerts in a .NET Core app to reduce notification noise?

I have a .NET Core web application that streams telemetry to an Application Insights resource. Smart detection is enabled by default and sends email notifications for each detected anomaly, which results in a high volume of messages that include low‑severity performance degradations and occasional false positives.
I would like to keep the automatic analysis running but limit notifications to only the most critical detections, such as failure‑anomaly spikes or memory‑leak alerts, while suppressing lower‑priority issues like trace degradation or general performance degradations. How can I adjust the smart detection alert configuration in Application Insights to achieve this without disabling the feature entirely?
