OpenTelemetry tracing and metrics are added to ASP.NET Core apps by initializing telemetry instrumentation and configuring OTLP export. This skill automates that setup for Jarvis framework projects, including pre-built configuration templates for traces, metrics, and logging.

Redis and Entity Framework Core instrumentation can be configured with OpenTelemetry in .NET. This skill provides targeted workflows to extend existing telemetry setups with dependency-specific instrumentation for Redis, EF Core, and custom trace or metric plugins.

Securing OTLP telemetry export and preventing PII leakage in .NET requires configuring PII-safe header allowlisting and secure secret management. This skill includes production best practices for sampling configuration and excluding health check paths to avoid common observability pitfalls.

Propagating trace context in background worker cron jobs using .NET requires scoped trace and log context patterns. This skill provides built-in patterns for adding trace and log context to scheduled cron jobs running within the Jarvis framework.

This OpenTelemetry setup works with both new and existing .NET projects. It offers a new project initialization workflow for full setup and an extension workflow to add targeted Redis, EF Core, or custom observability instrumentation to projects already wired with core telemetry.

ASP.NET Core health check endpoints generate noisy trace data when not excluded from telemetry collection. This skill configures excluded health check paths and applies sampling rules to ensure production-ready observability without unnecessary telemetry overhead.
