Plex.App.Insights.Core

A .NET 8 library that provides a single-call extension method to wire up OpenTelemetry-based Application Insights telemetry (traces and metrics) for ASP.NET Core applications.

Features

  • One-line setup — builder.AddAppInsights() configures everything
  • OpenTelemetry-based — uses the modern OpenTelemetry SDK with Azure Monitor exporters
  • Tracing — ASP.NET Core (inbound HTTP), HTTP client (outbound HTTP), and SQL client instrumentation
  • Metrics — ASP.NET Core hosting, Kestrel server, and HTTP client metrics
  • SQL command capture — optionally includes SQL command text in traces
  • Cloud role naming — configures service.name, service.instance.id, and service.version as OpenTelemetry resource attributes
  • Safe no-op — gracefully skips registration when APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING is not set

Installation

dotnet add package Plex.App.Insights.Core

Configuration

Set the Application Insights connection string as an environment variable:

APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING=InstrumentationKey=...;IngestionEndpoint=...

Add optional settings to your appsettings.json:

{
  "AppSettings": {
    "CloudRoleName": "my-service",
    "CloudRoleInstance": "instance-01",
    "CloudRoleVersion": "1.0.0",
    "EnableSqlCommandTextInstrumentation": "true"
  }
}
Setting Default Description
CloudRoleName — Sets the service.name resource attribute (identifies the service in Application Insights)
CloudRoleInstance — Sets the service.instance.id resource attribute
CloudRoleVersion — Sets the service.version resource attribute
EnableSqlCommandTextInstrumentation false When true, captures SQL command text (db.query.text) in traces

Usage

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.AddAppInsights();

var app = builder.Build();

This registers:

Tracing:

  • ASP.NET Core instrumentation (inbound HTTP requests)
  • HTTP client instrumentation (outbound HTTP calls)
  • SQL client instrumentation (with optional command text capture)
  • Azure Monitor trace exporter

Metrics:

  • Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting (request metrics)
  • Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel (server metrics)
  • System.Net.Http (HTTP client metrics)
  • Azure Monitor metric exporter

If APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING is not set, the method is a no-op — safe to call in all environments.
