OpenTelemetry for Dataverse ServiceClient?

OpenTelemetry for Dataverse ServiceClient?

I love OpenTelemetry. It’s so easy to plug in instrumentation and have a clear view of your distributed system.

But Dataverse ServiceClient doesn’t have it yet…

Its logging is sparse.

Fixing a bug using the Dataverse logs in Application Insights is not helpful.

I started to add OpenTelemetry instrumentation into my own code for Dataverse calls.

It has already been running for over a year, and I am very happy with it.

I packed it up into a NuGet to share. Hope you can find usefulness in it. Please let me know!

Budgets instead of Estimates

Budgets instead of Estimates Estimating a feature is difficult and is often a guess (or even a lie). An Estimate is for a fixed scope. So, you need to think deeply how to implement the feature, before giving an Estimate. The business can then use the Estimate to...
