Deep Dive into Open Telemetry for .NET

Jonathan Channon's Blog

I was made aware of OpenTelemetry a while ago by a blog series Jimmy Bogard and put it in my favourites to read at a later date. Of course I didn’t really get back to it in depth and gave it a quick scan at the time although it is a well written in depth blog series so I suggest you do check it out. A while later I saw a blog post by Rehan Saeed which gives an introduction on what OpenTelemetry is and how it works and the concepts behind it and is definitely worth a read. At the same time I saw a YouTube video by Elton Stoneman that whilst more aimed at using tracing using Kubernetes he demonstrates a .NET app running and the tracing details appear in Jaeger
