I want to be able to filter APM transactions by environment (_env_) in Kibana. This is available as an ECS field as shown [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/server/current/exported-fields-ecs.html).

Is this supported in Elastic APM Agent yet? I can't seem to find anything to do with labels in `Span` or the rest of the code.

No, .NET Agent doesn't support global labels yet. There is an issue in the backlog - [https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-dotnet/issues/183](https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-dotnet/issues/183)

I'm using the **environment** configuration option in JS-Base and Java agents.  
You can then filter on that in Kibana under **service.environment**.

I think it works for **processor.event** type **transaction** and **metric** but not span

Regarding **service.environment** - .NET agent doesn't send it yet. [Here is the issue](https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-dotnet/issues/320).

Also IIUC OP wanted to send a set key/value pairs while **service.environment** is just one string value.
