Class BaseBuilder<TBuilder>

Base builder which allows for methods to be shared between building a config directly and building a plugin. This uses the CRTP pattern to allow the individual builder methods to return instances of the derived builder type.

Setting the url to null will reset the builder value to the default.

Declaration

public TBuilder WithBackendUrl(string backendUrl)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	backendUrl	The back-end URL used for non-telemetry operations.

Returns

Type	Description
TBuilder	A reference to this builder.

WithEnvironment(string)

Set the environment name.

Declaration

public TBuilder WithEnvironment(string environment)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	environment	The environment name (for example, "prod" or "staging").

Returns

Type	Description
TBuilder	A reference to this builder.

WithExtendedLoggerConfiguration(Action<LoggerProviderBuilder>)

Method which extends the configuration of the logger provider.

The basic logger options will already be configured by the LaunchDarkly Observability plugin. This method should be used to extend that configuration with additional instrumentation.

Configuring exporters or processors may interfere with the operation of the plugin and is not recommended.

Declaration

public TBuilder WithExtendedLoggerConfiguration(Action<LoggerProviderBuilder> extendedLoggerConfiguration)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Action<LoggerProviderBuilder>	extendedLoggerConfiguration	A function used to extend the logging configuration.

Returns

Type	Description
TBuilder	A reference to this builder.

Examples

Adding custom instrumentation:

ObservabilityConfig.Builder()
    .WithExtendedLoggerConfiguration(builder =>
    {
        builder.AddMyInstrumentation();
    });

WithExtendedMeterConfiguration(Action<MeterProviderBuilder>)

Method which extends the configuration of the meter provider.

The basic meter options will already be configured by the LaunchDarkly Observability plugin. This method should be used to extend that configuration with additional meters, views, or custom instrumentation.

By default, metrics will be configured with the following instrumentation:

Runtime Instrumentation (GC, thread pool, JIT statistics)
Process Instrumentation (CPU, memory, handle counts)
HTTP Client Instrumentation (request counts, durations)
AspNetCore Instrumentation (request rates, response times)
SQL Client Instrumentation (query execution times, connection pool metrics)

Configuring exporters or processors may interfere with the operation of the plugin and is not recommended.

Declaration

public TBuilder WithExtendedMeterConfiguration(Action<MeterProviderBuilder> extendedMeterConfiguration)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Action<MeterProviderBuilder>	extendedMeterConfiguration	A function used to extend the metrics configuration.

Returns

Type	Description
TBuilder	A reference to this builder.

Examples

Adding custom instrumentation:

ObservabilityConfig.Builder()
    .WithExtendedMeterConfiguration(builder =>
    {
        // Add meters from your custom instrumentation
        builder.AddMyInstrumentation();
    });

WithExtendedTracingConfig(Action<TracerProviderBuilder>)

Method which extends the configuration of the tracer provider.

The basic tracer options will already be configured by the LaunchDarkly Observability plugin. This method should be used to extend that configuration with additional instrumentation or additional activity sources.

By default tracing will be configured with the following instrumentation:

HTTP Client Instrumentation
GRPC Client Instrumentation
WCF Instrumentation
Quart Instrumentation
AspNetCore Instrumentation
SQL Client Instrumentation

Configuring exporters or processors may interfere with the operation of the plugin and is not recommended.

Declaration

public TBuilder WithExtendedTracingConfig(Action<TracerProviderBuilder> extendedTracerConfiguration)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Action<TracerProviderBuilder>	extendedTracerConfiguration	A function used to extend the tracing configuration.

Returns

Type	Description
TBuilder	A reference to this builder.

Examples

Add additional activity sources:

ObservabilityConfig.Builder()
    .WithExtendedTracingConfig(builder =>
    {
        // Activities started by this activity source will be in exported spans.
        builder.AddSource("my-custom-activity-source");
    });

Add additional instrumentation.

ObservabilityConfig.Builder()
    .WithExtendedTracingConfig(builder =>
    {
        builder.AddMyInstrumentation()
    });

WithOtlpEndpoint(string)

Set the OTLP endpoint.

For most configurations, the OTLP endpoint will not need to be set.

If not explicitly set, set to null, or set to whitespace/empty string, the OTLP endpoint will be read from the OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT environment variable. Values set with this method take precedence over the environment variable.

Setting the endpoint to null will reset the builder value to the default.

Declaration

public TBuilder WithOtlpEndpoint(string otlpEndpoint)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	otlpEndpoint	The OTLP exporter endpoint URL.

Returns

Type	Description
TBuilder	A reference to this builder.

WithServiceName(string)

Set the service name.

If not explicitly set, set to null, or set to whitespace/empty string, the service name will be read from the OTEL_SERVICE_NAME environment variable. Values set with this method take precedence over the environment variable.

Declaration

public TBuilder WithServiceName(string serviceName)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	serviceName	The logical service name used in telemetry resource attributes.

Returns

Type	Description
TBuilder	A reference to this builder.

WithServiceVersion(string)

Set the service version.

Declaration

public TBuilder WithServiceVersion(string serviceVersion)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	serviceVersion	The version of the service that will be added to resource attributes when a service name is provided.

Returns

Type	Description
TBuilder	A reference to this builder.
