This repo hosts documentation and sample apps for the ADOT .NET library which provides the AWS service integrations for traces and metrics for the OpenTelemetry .NET library. The library can be configured to support trace applications with the AWS X-Ray service. This way, all the features of the OpenTelemetry project are available, but its components are configured to create traces which can be viewed in the AWS X-Ray console and are configured to allow propagation of those contexts across multiple downstream AWS services.
To send traces to AWS X-Ray, you can use the AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) Collector. OpenTelemetry .NET SDK exports traces from the application to the ADOT Collector. The ADOT Collector translates OTLP traces to X-Ray compatiable traces and further exports them to X-Ray backend. For more information, read AWS X-Ray Tracing Exporter for OpenTelemetry Collector.
Check out the getting started documentation
The sample app has included AspNetCore instrumentation, Http instrumentation and OTLP exporter. In addition, it instruments AWS X-Ray id generator in order for the AWS X-Ray back-end to process the traces. It also integrates AWS X-Ray propagator and AWS client instrumentation to trace AWS sdk calls.
See the example sample application for setup steps.
