Configure the OpenTelemetry-based telemetry provider

The AWS SDK for .NET includes an implementation of an OpenTelemetry-based telemetry provider. For details about how to set this provider as the global telemetry provider, see Configure a TelemetryProvider. To use this telemetry provider, you need the following resources in your project:

The OpenTelemetry implementation included with the SDK can be configured to reduce the amount of tracing for HTTPS requests, credentials, and compression. To do so, set the SuppressDownstreamInstrumentation option to true, similar to the following:

Sdk.CreateTracerProviderBuilder()
    .ConfigureResource(e => e.AddService("DemoOtel"))
    .AddAWSInstrumentation(options => options.SuppressDownstreamInstrumentation = true)
    .AddConsoleExporter()
    .Build();

For additional information about this provider, see the blog post Enhancing Observability in the AWS SDK for .NET with OpenTelemetry.
