Elastic Cloud Serverless projects are autoscaled environments, fully managed by Elastic and available on Elastic Cloud. Availability This functionality is generally available and ready for production usage. The Elastic Stack includes Elastic's core products such as Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, and Beats. Availability This functionality is generally available and ready for production usage. Unless stated otherwise on the page, this functionality is available when your Elastic Stack is deployed on Elastic Cloud Hosted, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes, and self-managed environments. This documentation corresponds to the latest patch available for each minor version. If you're not using the latest patch, check the release notes for changes. The Elastic APM .NET agent enables you to trace the execution of operations in your .NET applications, sending performance metrics and errors to the Elastic APM server.

APM Agent .NET

Elastic .NET Agent provides Log correlation. The agent will automatically inject correlation IDs that allow navigation between logs, traces, and services.
This features is part of Application log ingestion strategies.
The ecs-logging-dotnet library can also be used to use the ECS logging format without an APM .NET Agent. Elastic Common Schema (ECS) .NET logging will always provide log correlation IDs through System.Diagnostics.Activity. When paired with the APM .NET Agent it will pick up the appropriate service correlation features too.
The Elastic APM .NET Agent provides integrations for popular logging frameworks, which take care of injecting trace ID fields into your application’s log records. Currently supported logging frameworks are:
If your favorite logging framework is not already supported, there are two other options:
- Open a feature request, or contribute code, for additional support, as described in CONTRIBUTING.md.
- Manually inject trace IDs into log records, as described in Manual log correlation.
Regardless of how you integrate APM .NET Agent with logging, you can use Filebeat to send your logs to Elasticsearch, in order to correlate your traces and logs and link from APM to explore logs.
