Container Resource Detectors

Getting Started

You need to install the OpenTelemetry.ResourceDetectors.Container package to be able to use the Container Resource Detectors.

dotnet add package OpenTelemetry.ResourceDetectors.Container --prerelease

Usage

You can configure Container resource detector to the TracerProvider with the following example below.

using OpenTelemetry;
using OpenTelemetry.ResourceDetectors.Container;

var tracerProvider = Sdk.CreateTracerProviderBuilder()
                        // other configurations
                        .ConfigureResource(resource => resource
                            .AddDetector(new ContainerResourceDetector()))
                        .Build();

The resource detectors will record the following metadata based on where your application is running:

• ContainerResourceDetector: container.id.
