Read the setup guide before making changes:
Guidelines
1. Add NuGet packages: Elastic.OpenTelemetry and OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNetCore (for ASP.NET Core apps) 1. Register EDOT in startup: call builder.AddElasticOpenTelemetry() on the IHostApplicationBuilder (in Program.cs or equivalent). Without this, no telemetry is collected 1. Set exactly three required environment variables:
OTEL_SERVICE_NAMEOTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT— must be the managed OTLP endpoint or EDOT Collector URL. Never use an APM
Server URL (no apm-server, no :8200, no /intake/v2/events)
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS—"Authorization=ApiKey <key>"or"Authorization=Bearer <token>"
1. Do NOT set OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER, OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER, or OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER — the defaults are already correct 1. Do NOT manually configure TracerProvider or MeterProvider — AddElasticOpenTelemetry() handles everything 1. Never run both classic Elastic APM agent (Elastic.Apm.*) and EDOT on the same application
Examples
See the EDOT .NET setup guide for complete examples.
