This deserves a longer version!

[@cdrbvgewvplxsghjuytunurqwfgxvc]

Greatly appreciated, but yes there needs to be more deep diving into this.

Hey @dotnet, why wouldn't you add the links from the last slide to the video description?

[@AhmedMohammed23]

great show case i think i'm going to use it in all my project moving forward

[@xaviercarreratoro6131]

How do you enable the dashboard ? Is it allways in port 18888 ?

[@AngelGabrielValdesSarduy-jl9zk]

do you have an answer for that question? I cant access the dashboard

[@AlessandroMiranda]

What about azure monitor?

[@devmoreno18]

@dotnet I would love to see the tracing one too

[@sakurai5054]

Is there any way to send that data to Google Cloud Platform?

[@volodymyrliashenko1024]

What is the name of the app with "My Application Dashboard"?

[@volodymyrliashenko1024]

Looks like cones from .Net Aspire project

[@devprofr]

It's OpenTelemetry, no space between the words 😊

[@vivekkaushik9508]

I wonder why anyone would want to do go through all this unnecessary trouble when you can easily and natively integrate Application Insights and it works flawlessly.

[@shazaddin1]

Appinsight doesn't support distributed traces. So that could be one good reason to use open telemetry.
