You can use OTEL_DOTNET_AUTO_PLUGINS
environment variable to extend the
configuration and overwrite options of the OpenTelemetry .NET SDK Tracer, Meter or
Logs. A plugin must be a non-static, non-abstract class which has a default constructor
and that implements at least one of the configuration methods below showed
in an example plugin class:
public class MyPlugin
{
// To configure plugin, before OTel SDK configuration is called.
public void Initializing()
{
// My custom logic here
}
// To configure tracing SDK
public OpenTelemetry.Trace.TracerProviderBuilder ConfigureTracerProvider(OpenTelemetry.Trace.TracerProviderBuilder builder)
{
// My custom logic here
return builder;
}
// To configure any traces options used by OpenTelemetry .NET Automatic Instrumentation
public void ConfigureTracesOptions(OpenTelemetry.NameSpace.OptionType options)
{
// My custom logic here
// Find supported options below
}
// To configure metrics SDK
public OpenTelemetry.Metrics.MeterProviderBuilder ConfigureMeterProvider(OpenTelemetry.Metrics.MeterProviderBuilder builder)
{
// My custom logic here
return builder;
}
// To configure any metrics options used by OpenTelemetry .NET Automatic Instrumentation
public void ConfigureMetricsOptions(OpenTelemetry.NameSpace.OptionType options)
{
// My custom logic here
// Find supported options below
}
// To configure logs SDK (the method name is the same as for other logs options)
public void ConfigureLogsOptions(OpenTelemetry.Logs.OpenTelemetryLoggerOptions options)
{
// My custom logic here
}
// To configure any logs options used by OpenTelemetry .NET Automatic Instrumentation
public void ConfigureLogsOptions(OpenTelemetry.NameSpace.OptionType options)
{
// My custom logic here
// Find supported options below
}
}
