Forget Grafana And Prometheus! Start With This.

If there was a way to persist the metrics this would be perfect. However for a quick way to get things rolling it is great. Thanks 🎉

[@stephen6605]

I think you can add the app insights integration, and it will be stored there

[@stephen6605]

@@davidtaylor3771 maybe I got it wrong but I responded to a comment where it was said about "persisting metrics", and nothing about the dashboard

[@MZDisaster]

I personally use Datalust Seq would never change it. If you need graphs it's so easy to create them, you can also query and analyze your logs easily with SQL like language. You can setup alerts and supports injestion of logs via open telementry or with serilog.

[@Dominik-K]

This is pretty amazing! Thanks for sharing, I'll definitely use this

[@urzaaaaa]

What is the communication model here? Is the dashboard polling the app or is the app pushing to dashboard?

[@LlamaNL]

If i persist logs to file for instance, can i then read them back in the dashboard as well? If it doesn't, what is a solution that does?

[@alexclark6777]

@7:08 "Total 69 Result(s)" Surely that was not a coincidence...

[@ninjatogo]

This is fantastic, was actually just looking for something like this. Since this is just storing things in memory at the moment, does it currently have a cap to the amount of data it can keep stored, or will it just grow until your machine runs out of memory?

[@R0ckyRocket]

can u share the code plz?

[@yekt3805]

I'd be very interested in a tutorial on how to bake a telemetry dashboard straight into the application itself. If my app is a locally run service I don't want to bother the user with a docker container or having to install additional software. Just run the executable and an admin-style dashboard with a telemetry page is right there. In other words, I'd love to see a video on In-Memory exporter and the best way to connect that data to an UI-component lib like MudBlazor :D

[@yekt3805]

@@davidtaylor3771 That's a bummer. Perhaps a standalone nuget package is back on the table once the whole thing is out of preview..

[@gileee]

That's basically what I need now, and I'm leaning towards using an sqlite sink in serilog, sync that data to a server, then use grafana to read from that sqlite data source. Which isn't even close but ticks all the boxes I need.

[@davidpine7]

on the metrics page, we also added a table view of the data. And defaults to graph, but it’s obvious that the UX might need a bit more emphasis on those multiple views.

[@prab661987]

But How do I Install Otel collector in a Windows machine. and also pass the telemetry data out of windows into a Linux machine and store it there and visualise using aspire dashboard

[@octaviandobre]

Now lets wait for them to make it a nuget package so that we can put it in the app directly.

[@heliobessonirodrigues6632]

"You are blind now" haha. That is why I use light theme.

[@keyser456]

So you're always blind?

[@Kimo.Codess]

I've been waiting my whole life for this!

[@siya.abc123]

Lol you're a life saver. I have been trying to deploy grafana, loki and Prometheus on docker swarm. It works locally but I have Loki errors in UAT. Which is weird, I'm going to check this out even though it's not persistent

[@josephhungerman1056]

Any chance you can do a video on deploying Aspire with Azure Devops pipelines? The official docs seem off

[@mirrorless_mirror]

Amazing dashboard. Thank you for making this video about it.

[@diegovigil7311]

Thanks for sharing. Great tool! Is it possible to track some web job like we track requests? I mean, grouping logs / spans / traces over telemetry

[@SuperLabeled]

Can you run this same thing from podman?

[@vitalyzema8518]

I think, Elasticsearch can do just that, except it doesn't responsive as Aspire and you need to customize dashboards. Out of the box is just a table of logs

[@FredericMauroy]

Nice, I tried to use this last week but failed to display my custom metrics. Do you have a public repo with the code you showed so I could compare ? Keep up the great content !

[@JoaoVictorFerreira-xx1rq]

We can use this dashboard for multiple projects/repositories? For example, I have 2 api`s in different repositories.

[@duongphuhiep]

yes

[@tylercornett2022]

it is interesting, but I don't believe there is a useful place for this in my development cycle. I typically use Sentry (free tier) during development because they it's trivial to add for stack tracing. Then I drop Sentry and add prometheus + grafana for live application / infrastructure monitoring for the production environment.

[@andreaskarz]

Very cool stuff, amazing

[@futurexjam2]

it seems light weight version of Datadog or NewRelic :)

[@allrandomlife]

If anyone knows how to connect this with Jmeter test runs

[@flobuilds]

Thats actually insane we are looking currently for monitoring tools for our Services but most of it is paid and not cheap or hard to setup

[@keithnicholas]

sometimes its worth it, especially with multiple instances, logs from lots of sources, etc. We use data dog and doing queries and combing all that is really powerful. This dashboard here is really really basic

[@flobuilds]

@@keithnicholas ok thanks for the info. Would you recomend it for the starting phase until the customer counter rises for easy and simple monitoring?

[@thomasleberre1119]

No source code ? :(

[@ikenwakochukwudi9395]

so we won't be getting the detailed video on graphana 😭😭 Nick, you promised 😢

[@inzyster]

Is there another way to obtain the token other than looking into container logs? I’d love to sell this to my coworkers for our local environment but I can already see them scoffing at that part 😅

[@Birb-]

in docker run add -e DOTNET_DASHBOARD_UNSECURED_ALLOW_ANONYMOUS='true' If you're using the self built version use "DOTNET_DASHBOARD_UNSECURED_ALLOW_ANONYMOUS": "true" in appsettings

[@inzyster]

That’s a great idea, I’ll see about doing something similar for us. Thanks!

[@davidfowl]

@@davidtaylor3771It's supported now out of the box (any oidc server actually).

[@OliverRivettCarnac]

The "unknown_service" thing is a little ugly... But otherwise really cool. I didn't know you could split the dashboard from the codebase. I actually added aspire to one project just to get the dashboard... I had no intention of use the cloud native bits.

[@davidfowl]

Can you fix that by setting the service name either via an environment variable or in the application itself.

[@d0pare]

That dashboard barely handles any high load of events

[@farzadmf]

Aspire works with non-.NET languages/projects?

[@davidfowl]

@@davidtaylor3771But yea it does

[@farzadmf]

Ah right, but I guess we need a .NET application to bring up the dashboard?

[@chamikagoonetilaka4026]

​@@farzadmf It's a docker image. So you don't need anything

[@farzadmf]

@@chamikagoonetilaka4026 Oh really? Didn't know that. So it's a Docker image with Aspire "server"?

Hello everybody, I'm what? Naked... 😂😂

[@StefanHanrath]

Id say kudos for the simple out of box experience and moving to the otel interface, but i tend to be wary of trading open tools with a community for msft maintained tools. They tend to lose interest after some time and maintenance and commitment in the long run suffer.

[@michaelnjensen]

Not personally a fan of Aspire, the team from MS is way too small like most side projects from them (they launch so many different things and then abandon them shortly after or stop feature development), the features are way too basic for most real world usage outside really simple applications.

[@krccmsitp2884]

Well, .NET Aspire has about 20 active and 100 overall contributors, and it went GA on May 21.

There was 69 likes, I made it 70 👍

[@THE_NE0]

But not production ready….

[@nickchapsas]

It's GA later this month

[@ihnatklimchuk1018]

Worst advice ever. Once you need metrics from anything else than C# - you failed. Aspire will never be standard for other languages/tools/databases/libs/services

[@monomanbr]

@@krzysi3k-yt That dashboard is in a Docker Image and can be deployed anywhere. Also it is an independent component of the Aspire stack, you are not deploying Aspire to get it working.
