editPackages
editThe following NuGet packages are available:
- Elastic.Apm
-
The core agent package, containing the Public API of the agent. It also contains every tracing component to trace classes that are part of .NET Standard 2.0, which includes the monitoring part for
HttpClient. Every other Elastic APM package references this package. - Elastic.Apm.NetCoreAll
-
A meta package that references all other Elastic APM .NET agent package that can automatically configure instrumentation.
If you plan to monitor a typical ASP.NET Core application that depends on the Microsoft.AspNetCore.All package, you should reference this package.
In order to avoid adding unnecessary dependencies in applications that aren’t dependent on the Microsoft.AspNetCore.All package, we also offer some other packages - those are all referenced by the
Elastic.Apm.NetCoreAllpackage. - Elastic.Apm.Extensions.Hosting ( [1.6.0-beta] Added in 1.6.0-beta. )
-
A package for agent registration integration with
Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.IHostBuilderregistration.
- Elastic.Apm.AspNetCore
-
A package for instrumenting ASP.NET Core applications. The main difference between this package and the
Elastic.Apm.NetCoreAllpackage is that this package only instruments ASP.NET Core by default, whereasElastic.Apm.NetCoreAllinstruments all components that can be automatically configured, such as Entity Framework Core, HTTP calls withHttpClient, database calls to SQL Server withSqlClient, etc. Additional instrumentations can be added when usingElastic.Apm.AspNetCoreby referencing the respective NuGet packages and including their configuration code in agent setup. - Elastic.Apm.AspNetFullFramework
