The OpenTelemetry .NET compatible processor which sends telemetry data to Azure Monitor Live Metrics.

Getting started

Prerequisites

• Azure Subscription: To use Azure services, including Azure Monitor Exporter for OpenTelemetry .NET, you'll need a subscription. If you do not have an existing Azure account, you may sign up for a free trial or use your Visual Studio Subscription benefits when you create an account.
• Azure Application Insights Connection String: To send telemetry data to the monitoring service you'll need connection string from Azure Application Insights. If you are not familiar with creating Azure resources, you may wish to follow the step-by-step guide for Create an Application Insights resource and copy the connection string.

Install the Azure Monitor Live Metrics client for OpenTelemetry .NET with NuGet:

dotnet add package Azure.Monitor.OpenTelemetry.LiveMetrics --prerelease

Nightly builds

Add the Live Metrics client

The following examples demonstrate how to add the Live Metrics client to your OpenTelemetry configuration.

Sdk.CreateTracerProviderBuilder()
    .AddLiveMetrics(o => o.ConnectionString = "InstrumentationKey=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000")
    .Build();

For a complete example see Program.cs

Authenticate the client

Key concepts

• Live Metrics: Monitor and diagnose with 1-second latency

Examples

Refer to Program.cs for a complete demo.

Troubleshooting

The Live Metrics client uses EventSource for its own internal logging. The logs are available to any EventListener by opting into the source named "OpenTelemetry-AzureMonitor-LiveMetrics".

OpenTelemetry also provides it's own self-diagnostics feature to collect internal logs.
