Monitor containerized ASP.NET Core applications with Datadog APM

ASP.NET Core is an open source web development framework that enables developers to create .NET applications on various platforms such as macOS, Linux, and Windows machines. The introduction of .NET Core in 2016 has increased the number of ways to build and deploy .NET applications. Monitoring application performance across a wide variety of platforms is crucial for identifying issues with services and their dependencies. Datadog's .NET tracer uses the .NET profiling APIs to add out-of-the-box instrumentation for many common libraries and programming languages used for both .NET Core and .NET frameworks, including VB.NET, C#, and F#. This guide demonstrates how to instrument a sample containerized ASP.NET Core application to send traces to Datadog for monitoring by deploying the Datadog Agent in a Docker container and using Datadog's .NET tracer.
