Page feedback, .NET Framework

[cssatkmd]

Suggested improvements for page: https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/net/netframework/

I would like documentation for setting up metrics collection for the full .NET Framework, 4.x.x.
How to enable?
How to configure?
What if one is not running ASP.NET?
Do we always need the TelemetryHttpModule?
Etc..

Thanks!

Note that metrics are not currently documented for .NET right now, regardless of if it's on .NET Framework or .NET: https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/net/instrumentation/#metrics

What if one is not running ASP.NET?

Are you using something else? In general we document ASP.NET Core, ASP.NET, and Console but that's it.

I am using ASP.NET, but I was looking for a console example. I wanted to make sure I was doing it right.

We are however using Nancy for our ASP.NET solution, but I currently don't have the need for telemetry on requests, as we have older logging in place for that. I was looking to support memory usage tracking via OpenTelemetry, but so far I'm not getting there.

Thanks for your feedback/comment!

If looking for ConsoleApp, this doc can help. There is no difference between .NET FW vs .NET Core vs .NET for console app: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet/tree/main/docs/metrics/getting-started-console

@cssatkmd did @cijothomas' answer help you?

[cssatkmd]

Yes, thanks. The documentation led me to endpoint manipulation, by assigning metrics information to our telemetry provider. This was different from core, as full Framework apparently needed it.
