AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) v 0.7.0 is now available with .NET support. This release adds support for tracing .NET applications using open source OpenTelemetry’s .NET API and SDK. You can use AWS monitoring backends, such as AWS X-Ray, as well as partner monitoring solutions for triaging and analyzing performance issues or bottlenecks in your applications.

Earlier this month, the OpenTelemetry project released the stable version 1.0 of the tracing specification.

ADOT also bundles several exporters for use with the Collector, enabling customers to send observability data to any backend monitoring service of their choice. These exporters include OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) for HTTP and gRPC, and exporters for AWS X-Ray, Amazon CloudWatch, and Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus (AMP). Partner exporters include trace exporters for Dynatrace, Datadog, New Relic, and Splunk, as well as a metrics exporter for Splunk.
