Telemetry Payload Only Data

I'm trying to keep costs minimum and develop a good workflow from the start using telemetry purely for analytics.

The outcome of a single telemetry event seems to have a lot of unnecessary used character space which bloats the file size and cost, (if the 1kb to 1 tick rule applies here).

Is there any way to have just the data "key1" : "data1", "key2" : :data2"? I will include playerId or time myself if needed. I will then try and use this data on a simple analytics software/provider.

Would cloud script be better suited for this? Any examples to help if so greatly appreciated.

Here is the code I am using to send the event.

WriteEventsRequest request = new WriteEventsRequest();
List<EventContents> contentList = new List<EventContents>();
EventContents content = new EventContents();
//PlayFabAuthenticationContext context = new PlayFabAuthenticationContext();

content.Name = "telemetry_test";
content.EventNamespace = "custom";
content.Payload = dictionary;
contentList.Add(content);

request.Events = contentList;
PlayFabEventsAPI.WriteTelemetryEvents(request, OnEventSend, OnError);

Thanks.

You cannot generate events that only contain the Payload with WriteTelemetryEvents API. Other data associated with the event will be created automatically.

We recommend that you can use PlayFab CloudScript using Azure Functions - PlayFab | Microsoft Docs, which is more powerful.
