🗣️ Monitoring and Logging in .NET with OpenTelemetry
No matter how skilled you are as a developer, unexpected issues can arise once your system is in production. Monitoring and logging are crucial for gaining insights into system activity, ensuring legitimate users can perform their tasks while preventing misuse. In this session, we’ll explore effective monitoring in .NET, including default and custom metrics, request tracing with the Activity API, and structured logging for key events. We’ll also discuss correlating metrics, traces, and logs using OpenTelemetry, and exporting this data to platforms like Azure Monitor or Datadog, where centralized data will enable you to visualize metrics, trace requests, configure alerts, and quickly resolve issues with searchable logs.

👉 Andreas Wänqvist, AI Architect at Voyado, Microsoft MVP, and Aurelia Core Team member
