The types are hosted within the Purview.Telemetry.Activities namespace, with the exception of the TagAttribute which is defined within Purview.Telemetry.
To signal an interface for activity target generation, decorate the interface with the ActivitySourceAttribute. By default the activity source name is set to name of the assembly (lowercased), however you can override this on the interface or assembly level:
ActivitySourceAttribute.NameActivitySourceGenerationAttribute.NameImportant
If no activity source name is found, it defaults to purview and the TSG3001 diagnostic is generated.
When defining methods there are three types of supported:
If it recommended to always specify the Activity, otherwise Activity.Current is used, which may not be the activity you expected. This means when generating an Activity, always return Activity or Activity?. When using an Activity through the Event and Context methods, always pass in an Activity instance, as returned by an activity method.
Decorate the method with the ActivityAttribute to explicitly define an Activity method.
There are a number of parameters options that will be used to pass directly to the either ActivitySource.CreateActivity or ActivitySource.StartSource.
To populate the tags parameter, its type must be any of the following:
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair<string, object?>>To populate the parentContext parameter, its type must be ActivityContext.
Alternatively, to populate the parentId parameter, the name of the parameter must be parentId and it's type must be a string.
To populate the links parameter, it's type must be an array of IEnumerable<> of ActivityLink.
In the case of starting an activity, you can also specify the startTime parameter by making sure the name is startTime and the type is DateTimeOffset.
Other properties can be tagged with either the TagAttribute or BaggageAttribute to specify where the parameters are applied.
The return type must be either void, Activity or Activity?. When specifying an activity as a return type, this will return the created or started activity.
Decorate the method with the EventAttribute to explicitly define an Event method. This will generate a method that will create an ActivityEvent and attach it to the either specified Activity or Activity.Current.
To specify and activity explicitly, the parameter type must be either Activity or Activity?.
To populate the tags parameter, its type must be any of the following:
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair<string, object?>>To specify the timestamp parameter, making sure the name is timestamp and the type is DateTimeOffset.
Other properties can be tagged with either the TagAttribute or BaggageAttribute to specify where the parameters are applied.
The return type must be either void, Activity or Activity?. When returning an activity, either the one specified as a parameter is used, or Activity.Current.
When an Exception parameter is specified, the default it to treat it with the rules as defined by Exceptions.
This means the exception is populated to an events called exception with the following tags:
exception.escaped - this is true by default, but you can also pass in a value of your own by decorating a bool parameter with the EscapeAttribute.exception.message - which will correspond to Exception.Message.exception.stacktrace - which will correspond to Exception.StackTrace.exception.type - which will correspond to called GetType on the exception, and using the Type.FullName property.This behaviour can be overridden by other options on the EventAttribute. See the 'Types' section.
Decorate the method with the ContextAttribute to explicitly define a context method. This will generate a method that will populate tags and/ or baggage on either a specified Activity or Activity.Current.
To specify and activity explicitly, the parameter type must be either Activity or Activity?.
Other properties can be tagged with either the TagAttribute or BaggageAttribute to specify where the parameters are applied.
The return type must be either void, Activity or Activity?. When returning an activity, either the one specified as a parameter is used, or Activity.Current.
There are a few rules that allow you to skip explicitly specifying the type to generate. If the type is specified, these rules do not apply.
If the method name ends with Event (case-sensitive), then this is the equivalent of using EventAttribute.
Alternatively, if the method has any parameters, and the first one is an Activity then this will also be classified as an Event.
If the method name ends with Context (case-sensitive), then this is the equivalent of using ContextAttribute.
Any that does not meet match those patterns will default to creating an activity.
If you decorate you parameter with either TagAttribute or BaggageAttribute, this will stop any inference.
However, any non-decorated parameter can be treated as either a tag or baggage based on default settings:
ActivitySourceAttribute.DefaultToTags on the interface to default to using tags (true) or baggage (false). The default is true.ActivitySourceGenerationAttribute.DefaultToTags on the assembly to default to using tags (true) or baggage (false). The default is true.See also the TagAttribute and BaggageAttribute further down.
Used to define the Activity creation on a method.
Name Type Description Namestring Determines the name of the activity. If this is not provided, the name of the method is used. Also available on construction. Kind ActivityKind Determines the kind used to create the activity. The default is Internal. This is also available on construction. CreateOnly bool Determines if the created activity is started or not. The default is false. If CreateOnly is specified as true, you must return the Activity/ Activity? from the method.
Used to define the creation of the ActivitySource on an interface.
Name Type Description Namestring Determines the name of the activity source. If this is not provided, either ActivitySourceGenerationAttribute.Name is used, or purview is used. A warning is generated is a custom name is not defined anywhere. Also available on construction. DefaultToTags bool Determines if tags (true) are used, or baggage (false) when no TagAttribute or BaggageAttribute is defined on any parameters. Special-case parameters are matched first. BaggageAndTagPrefix string Determines the prefix to use for the tag or baggage name. The default is null. Useful for grouping. IncludeActivitySourcePrefix bool Determines if the ActivitySourceGenerationAttribute.BaggageAndTagSeparator, if set, is used to generate a prefix. The default is true. LowercaseBaggageAndTagKeys bool Determines if the name of the tag or baggage is lower-cased. The default is true. ActivitySourceGenerationAttribute
Used to define the creation of the ActivitySource on an assembly and other details.
Name Type Description Namestring Determines the name of the activity source when one is not defined on an interface. Defaults to purview. DefaultToTags bool Determines if tags (true) are used, or baggage (false) when no TagAttribute or BaggageAttribute is defined on any parameters. Special-case parameters are matched first. BaggageAndTagPrefix string Determines the prefix to use for the tag or baggage name. The default is null. Useful for grouping. BaggageAndTagSeparator string Determines the separator use when generating prefixes. The default is .. LowercaseBaggageAndTagKeys bool Determines if the name of the tag or baggage is lower-cased. The default is true. GenerateDiagnosticsForMissingActivity bool Determines if diagnostics are raised when Activity return parameters or return values are missing. The default is true.
Used to determine when a parameter is used to set baggage on either an Activity or Event.
Name Type Description Namestring Determines the name of the baggage. Defaults to null, meaning the name of the parameter is used. SkipOnNullOrEmpty bool Determines if the parameter is skipped (not added) when it's null or default. The default value is false.
Used to determine when a method adds to parameters as either tags or baggage to an activity.
There are no properties on this attribute.
Used to determine when a parameter is used as the escape value on an event-based method. The parameter must be a boolean.
See Exceptions for more details.
There are no properties on this attribute.
Used to determine when a method creates an ActivityEvent.
string Determines the name of the event. If this is not provided, the name of the method is used. Also available on construction. UseRecordExceptionRules bool Determines if the Open Telemetry exception rules should be followed when one of the parameters is an Exception. The default is true. RecordExceptionAsEscaped bool Determines what value is used for the exception.escaped value when UseRecordExceptionRules is true, and an exception is present. This can also be overridden using the EscapeAttribute The default is true.
