Getting started with OpenTelemetry in .NET
summary
Explains a concrete getting‑started path for OpenTelemetry on .NET: add Microsoft.Extensions.Logging and an OpenTelemetry exporter (demo uses OpenTelemetry.Exporter.Console), log/metric/trace examples, and a multi‑service demo that wires Order → RabbitMQ → Payment → Notify with SQL and SignalR. Shows exact code changes, console output format, Application Insights and Jaeger exporters, and live metrics in App Insights — the microservice demo runs end‑to‑end and demonstrates traces, counters and logs working together.
