OpenTelemetry is a set of APIs, SDKs, tooling and integrations that are designed for the creation and management of telemetry data such as traces, metrics, and logs. On today’s post I’m going to show you how you can start using OTEL and distributed tracing with .NET.

In this two-part series I’m going to show you how to use OpenTelemetry to generate custom metrics and how to visualize those metrics using Prometheus and Grafana. In part 2 I’ll be showing you how to add OpenTelemetry Metrics on a real life .NET 7 app and how to visualize those metrics using Prometheus and Grafana.

In this two-part series I’m going to show you how to use OpenTelemetry to generate custom metrics and how to visualize those metrics using Prometheus and Grafana. In part 1 I’ll be talking about some key concepts that you should know when using OpenTelemetry Metrics with dotnet.

This is a 2 part-series post. In part 2 I’ll show you how to build and configure properly a few distributed .NET apps that will send traces to the AWS OTEL Collector, and also how to analyze those traces in AWS X-Ray.

This is a 2 part-series post. In part 1 I’ll be talking about what is the AWS OpenTelemetry Collector and how to set it up for ingesting and exporting traces to AWS X-Ray.
