Console Json Exporter for OpenTelemetry .NET

NuGet NuGet

The json console exporter prints data to the Console/Debug output in JSON format.

All data is printed in JSON format with OpenTelemetry prefix e.g. OpenTelemetry {"activity": ...}.

This component is intended to be used while learning how telemetry data is created and exported. It is not recommended for any production environment.

Kudos to Özkan Pakdil for the original implementation.

Installation

dotnet add package JeremyMorren.OpenTelemetry.Exporter.Console.Json

Configuration

using OpenTelemetry.Metrics;
using OpenTelemetry.Trace;
using OpenTelemetry.Exporter.Console.Json;

var tracer = Sdk.CreateTracerProviderBuilder()
    .AddJsonConsoleExporter(o => o.Targets = ConsoleExporterOutputTargets.Debug)
    // Add activity sources to the provider
    .Build();

var metrics = Sdk.CreateMeterProviderBuilder()
    .AddJsonConsoleExporter(o => o.Targets = ConsoleExporterOutputTargets.Debug)
    // Add instrumentation sources to the provider
    .Build();

With ASP.NET Core:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

if (Debugger.IsAttached)
{
    const ConsoleExporterOutputTargets target = ConsoleExporterOutputTargets.Debug;
    
    builder.Logging.ClearProviders()
        .AddOpenTelemetry(b => b.AddJsonConsoleExporter(o => o.Targets = target));

    builder.Services.AddOpenTelemetry()
        .WithTracing(b => b.AddJsonConsoleExporter(o => o.Targets = target))
        .WithMetrics(b => b.AddJsonConsoleExporter(o => o.Targets = target));
}

which enables export to debug output in JSON format.

Environment Variables

The following environment variables can be used to override the default values of the PeriodicExportingMetricReaderOptions (following the OpenTelemetry specification).

Environment variable PeriodicExportingMetricReaderOptions property
OTEL_METRIC_EXPORT_INTERVAL ExportIntervalMilliseconds
OTEL_METRIC_EXPORT_TIMEOUT ExportTimeoutMilliseconds

Serilog

NuGet NuGet

A separate package is available to use with serilog.

dotnet add package JeremyMorren.Serilog.Sinks.OpenTelemetry.Console.Json

using Serilog.Sinks.OpenTelemetry.Console.Json;

var logConf = new LoggerConfiguration()
    // Configure other sinks, enrichers, etc.
    // e.g. .WriteTo.Console()
    .Enrich.FromLogContext();

if (Debugger.IsAttached)
    logConf.WriteTo.OpenTelemetryConsoleJson(ConsoleExporterOutputTargets.Debug);

Log.Logger = logConf.CreateLogger();
