OTEL Instrumentation

[ghost]

Hi,

Are there any plans to implement an OTEL instrumentation library for the kl8s client?

Thanks!

could you please elaborate it?
is prometheus good for you?

OTEL is open telemetry which would do request tracing, vs prometheus which does monitoring.

Oh, and we don't have current plans, but we'd be happy to take PRs I think.

Actually, since this client just uses HttpClient under the hood, I think that this:

should just work?

The biggest problem right now is that this library has a direct dependency on prometheus-net. That should probably be in a separate assembly or use any of the native stuff for instrumentation (System.Diagnostics.Metrics I believe).
