.NET 6, using apm-agent-dotnet.

My app is calling different SQL-Servers. In Dependencies and Service Maps, they show up as a single "mssql"-service.

Is it possible to have them shown as different services with separate names?

Hi @AThomsen,

at this point with fully automated tracing unfortunately it won't be possible to show those databases with separate names. There is already work being done to fix this, here is some context on it: [context.destination.service.resource should include the logical database name for SQL Databases · Issue #473 · elastic/apm · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/apm/issues/473)

So in sum: we know about it and we intend to improve this in the future.
