OpenTelemetry collector for Dapper

[andy-g]

Is there any plan to release an OpenTelemetry collector for Dapper?

OpenTelemetry (https://opentelemetry.io) is the next major version of the OpenTracing and OpenCensus projects, and it'd be awesome to have telemetry data automatically populated from dapper, especially as a major reason for using dapper is the performance advantage it gives over something like EFCore.

There is already a collector for StackExchangeRedis (https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet/tree/master/src/OpenTelemetry.Collector.StackExchangeRedis), so I'd be interested to know what would be involved in implementing something similar for dapper.

There are no plans (from us) to implement this, but one way you could go about it is the same way MiniProfiler does it: by wrapping the DbConnection. See the ProfiledDb* classes in MiniProfiler. That approach works for any ADO.NET provider, but it looks like OpenTelemetry already did SqlServer specifically in: open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet#536

Hope that answers the question!

Closing this out to cleanup!
