I am using OpenTelemetry, and trying to add a custom attribute to the current Span, and I can see the attribute (user.name, user.role) is showing as part of the trace:

// This is a sample trace coming from console exporter
Activity.TraceId:            1be70cf887cbde79d34d55e79642a9ee
Activity.SpanId:             4a40500a30985ff2
// Yada yada
Activity.Tags:
    net.host.name: localhost
    net.host.port: 7253
    // The next 2 are my custom attributes
    user.name: Ahamat, Farid
    user.role: Guest, Officer
    http.status_code: 200
Resource associated with Activity:
    // Yada yada

But I could not find out how to see this custom attribute in Azure App Insight. Anybody knows?

It must be stressed here that I'm using OpenTelemetry. I'm NOT using AppInsight SDK.

  • This is not about code. This is about trying to find out how/where does AppInsight shows the custom attribute that I've created. Commented Nov 7, 2023 at 11:11
  • got your point, just for conformation have you configured custom attributes in local? Commented Nov 7, 2023 at 11:19
  • Yes. The trace does show the custom attributes. The one I showed above: that's my generated trace, it have my attributes. Commented Nov 7, 2023 at 12:00
