Append an operation name to each OpenTelemetry activity
Describe the feature.
Enabling Open Telemetry support creates telemetry in app insights with no operation name. They bucket in a single <Empty> operation.
Describe the requested feature
Append an operation name to the activity. Could be "EndpointName: send message", "EndpointName: publish event", etc.
Describe alternatives you've considered

@bh3605 What view is this in application insights?
As you can see in the following sample there is activity name information set in the activities:
- https://docs.particular.net/samples/open-telemetry/jaeger/
We have a set of fixes names we use:
- https://github.com/Particular/NServiceBus/blob/c84561af72649ef1313dd3083a03847a5fe72e2c/src/NServiceBus.Core/OpenTelemetry/Tracing/ActivityNames.cs#L5-L10
It's the performance view
I do see the activity names in the end-to-end transaction details view
Thanks @bh3605 for that information. I'm not familiar with that screen. It seems we are providing the operation name so a little research seems needed to understand how that data is presented in this application insights view and what additional properties/tags we need to set.
I'll mark this as an improvement for a future version.
Thanks! You can see I was using your sample so reproducing this is straight forward as long as you have an application insights instance to send data too.
I believe what you're going to have to do is at a point a message is sent you need to call StartOperation("", ....) and thereafter you can associate Activity objects with the current operation context.
Helpful link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/custom-operations-tracking#applicationinsights-operations-vs-systemdiagnosticsactivity Your distributed tracing sample has the operation name assigned. If you combined that solution with what you have you ought to be gravy. https://docs.particular.net/samples/tracing/
