OpenTelemetry in .NET — DI/builder SDK setup (OpenTelemetry.Extensions.Hosting, AddOpenTelemetry, UseOtlpExporter, OpenTelemetrySdk.Create), native .NET instrumentation APIs (ActivitySource, System.Diagnostics.Metrics Meter) plus logging abstractions (ILogger), zero-code CLR-profiler agent, contrib instrumentation packages, performance tuning, and breaking-change audits. Use when adding, reviewing, or configuring OpenTelemetry in a .NET or ASP.NET Core service. Triggers on…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# OpenTelemetry in .NET Entry point for OpenTelemetry mechanics in .NET services. Load a reference below based on the task; each reference is self-contained. ## References | File | Use when | |---|---| | [`references/setup.md`](references/setup.md) | Setting up the SDK via the DI/builder path (`AddOpenTelemetry().WithTracing/WithMetrics/WithLogging`, `UseOtlpExporter`, `OpenTelemetrySdk.Create`, `OpenTelemetry.Extensions.Hosting`), exporter wiring, env-var / `IConfiguration` inputs, and why there is no released declarative YAML config in .NET. | | [`references/api.md`](references/api.md) | Instrumenting with native BCL APIs (`ActivitySource`/`Activity`, `System.Diagnostics.Metrics.Meter`, `ILogger`), how the SDK subscribes (`AddSource`/`AddMeter`), attributes, propagation, and the optional OTel API shim. | | [`references/instrumentation-libraries.md`](references/instrumentation-libraries.md) | Zero-code (the `opentelemetry-dotnet-instrumentation` CLR-profiler agent), the contrib instrumentation-package catalog, and manual instrumentation following semconv. | …

How to install
mdr add ollygarden/opentelemetry-agent-skills/otel-dotnet@sha256:4e532a5deb53ce1bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.b99072b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
