+### Resources
+
+To dynamically add resources at startup from the dependency injection you can
+provide an `IResourceDetector`.
+To make use of it add it to the dependency injection and they you can use the
+`ISerivceProvider` add it to OpenTelemetry:
+
+```csharp
+public class MyResourceDetector : IResourceDetector
+{
+    private readonly IWebHostEnvironment webHostEnvironment;
+
+    public MyResourceDetector(IWebHostEnvironment webHostEnvironment)

+
+    public Resource Detect()

+            .AddService(serviceName: this.webHostEnvironment.ApplicationName)
+            .AddAttributes(new Dictionary<string, object> { ["host.environment"] = this.webHostEnvironment.EnvironmentName })
+            .Build();
