.NET Core NLog correlation not showing when using Auto Instrumentation (Profiler) or Zero code change (startup hook)

[karpediemnow]

HI,
following the documentation about Log correlation ( Link )

I have added the Elastic.Apm.NLog.dll and the following entries into NLog.config file

but the ElasticApmTraceId and ElasticApmTransactionId are not showing in the log

I'm using elastic_apm_profiler_1.18.0 and Elastic.Apm.NLog v 1.5.3.

Could it be a version mismatch?

Thanks

.NET Core API Log correlation not showing in transactions

Hi I'm trying to make log correlation work on my NET Core API. I'm using NLog following the documentation. I'm getting the traceID and transactionID in the logs in my console and logfile but I have zero logs in any APM Transactions. What am I missing? [Capture] Here is my NLog config <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.nlog-project…

I'm start thinking that kibana stack isn't the best tools for monitoring .net core applications...

Hope I'm wrong

Hi @karpediemnow,

thanks for reaching out and please excuse the delayed response. It should not happen but your question has slipped through.

Can I ask you to provide agent logs for your application (see here)?
If you want you can also open an issue in our GitHub repository.

Please note that there might be a delay in answering due to the holiday season.

Hi @Wolfgang_Ziegler
this are the log files (trace):

Elastic.Apm.Profiler.Managed_dotnet_8.log
Elastic.Apm.Profiler.Managed.Loader_dotnet_8.log
Splitted:
File elastic_apm_profiler_dotnet_8.log
FILE 1
FILE 2

I already have opened a issue on elastic/ecs-dotnet.
Needs to be duplicated on apm-agent-dotnet?
Where do you think is the right place?

Thanks

Hi @karpediemnow,

yes, elastic/ecs-dotnet looks like the right place this.

Thanks
Wolfgang
