Hi!!!

I have installed and configure the APM in my differents services and it works perfectly, but i would like get the span of the database calls. Now I only have the call of the endpoint but how can I get this information? Do I need add something in the sql call to register it into APM?

Thanks for all!

Hi @Kirtash,

What database library do you use? We currently support Entity Framework and Entity Framework Core.

If this is an [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) Core app and you used the `app.UseAllElasticApm` method from the `Elastic.Apm.NetCoreAll` namespace as described [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/dotnet/current/setup.html) then database monitoring should be turned on by default for Entity Framework Core.

Thanks Greg!!

I don't use the Entity Framework, I make the queries directly with a connectionString.

i understand that is not possible make these traces with one command against APM.

I see, so you use the `SqlComand` and similar types, right?

We just had [a community PR](https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-dotnet/pull/592) to add support for that 🙂 It's not yet merged, and there are some questions and challenges to solve, but maybe it's worth following that - hopefully we'll have support for your scenario soon. We definitely work on it!
