How to implement elastic apm in a .NET application with Net Framework 4.0

Elastic Observability APM
1

Hi everyone,

I have a .NET application with Net Framework 4.0 in which I would like to implement the APM agent, however so far I have not found information to help me run my proof of concept since all the documentation focuses on the version of Net Framework 4.6 or higher. Is there any way to implement APM in my application?

Yeah, I was in a similar situation: I have a Win32 Desktop app running on .NET 4.5.
I concluded that I'd have to update my code to .NET 4.6.1 in order to take advantage of the Public API on the .NET agent.

And that's what I've done. I spent some time last month confirming "proof of concept" on it. And now I'm in the middle of adding Transaction and Span capturing to my code. So far, it's working nicely.

I think that if you're unable to update to 4.6+, you probably won't be able to use this solution.
