We don't really aim for that - that would mean an overhead that would be very likely unacceptable for most of the users in production. Also including app and framework methods would lead to a UI that is very hard to understand even with a simple application. What we already do is that for each span that is created we capture a callstack depending on the duration of the span. [Here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/dotnet/current/config-stacktrace.html#config-span-frames-min-duration) is the setting to change the duration limit for call stack capturing. With that you'll see the callstack on every span like this (this is the same for every span - not matter what it captures): ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/0/e0ad63a6481a224ca05c118fe3ee2a10531a450b.png) If you set `SpanFramesMinDuration` to negative value you'll have the callstack for every single span - keep in mind this will still cause some overhead. With that hopefully you'll get what you aim for - so you could strategically place some code and manually capture spans and for those spans you can get the callstack - but instrumenting every single method is not a recommended way. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elastic-apm-net-agent-is-not-instrumenting-methods/228815)._
