Available instrumentations
The OpenTelemetry .NET Automatic Instrumentation supports a wide variety of libraries.
Instrumentations
All instrumentations are enabled by default for all signal types (traces, metrics, and logs).
You can disable all instrumentations for a specific signal type by setting the
OTEL_DOTNET_AUTO_{SIGNAL}_INSTRUMENTATION_ENABLED
environment variable to
false
.
For a more granular approach, you can disable specific instrumentations for a
given signal type by setting the
OTEL_DOTNET_AUTO_{SIGNAL}_{0}_INSTRUMENTATION_ENABLED
environment variable to
false
, where {SIGNAL}
is the type of signal, for example TRACES
, and {0}
is the case-sensitive name of the instrumentation.

Traces instrumentations
Status: Mixed. Traces are stable, but particular instrumentation libraries are in Experimental status due to lack of stable semantic convention.
