Distributed Tracing Made Easy with .NET Core

on YouTube ↗01h 03m

" summary

Shows a working .NET Core 3.1 microservices demo that wires the Activity API to the W3C Trace Context (traceparent) headers, propagates context over HTTP and RabbitMQ, and exports traces to Jaeger and Zipkin via OpenTelemetry exporters. Explains setting Activity.DefaultIdFormat for .NET Core 3.1 (not needed in .NET 5), how to add tags and baggage to carry customer/order IDs across services, and that built instrumentation for ASP.NET Core, HttpClient, SQL and Azure Service Bus actually produces searchable end‑to‑end traces.
