Add observability to a cloud-native application

Now that you understand the importance of observability, you’ll see how you can include it in your cloud-native application. You do this step by adding OpenTelemetry to your app.

Add OpenTelemetry to your app

.NET has a rich ecosystem of built-in observability tools that produce logging, metrics, and tracing data. You can use these tools to add observability to your cloud-native application. These libraries are:

• Logging: Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.ILogger
• Metrics: System.Diagnostics.Metrics.Meter
• Tracing: System.Diagnostics.Activity and System.Diagnostics.ActivitySource
