Supported technologies

edit

If your favorite technology is not supported yet, you can vote for it by participating in our survey. We will use the results to add support for the most requested technologies.

Another option is to add a dependency to the agent’s public API in order to programmatically create custom transactions and spans.

If you want to extend the auto-instrumentation capabilities of the agent, the contributing guide should get you started.

If, for example, the HTTP client library of your choice is not listed, it means that there won’t be spans for those outgoing HTTP requests. If the web framework you are using is not supported, the agent will not capture transactions.

.NET versions

edit

The agent works on every .NET flavor and version that supports .NET Standard 2.0. This means .NET Core 2.0 or newer, and .NET Framework 4.6.2* or newer.

* Due to binding issues introduced by Microsoft, we recommend at least .NET Framework 4.7.2 for best compatibility.

While this library should work on .NET Core 2.0+, we limit our support to only those versions currently supported by Microsoft - .NET 6.0 and newer.

Web frameworks

edit

Automatic instrumentation for a web framework means a transaction is automatically created for each incoming request and it is named after the registered route.
