OpenTelemetry support on Azure Function App v3 (.Net Core 3.1)

Question

Describe your environment.

Azure Function App v3 using .Net Core 3.1 working in Visual Studio 2019.

Describe any aspect of your environment relevant to the question.

This is my current project configuration:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

What are you trying to achieve?

I’m trying to initialize the distributed telemetry OpenTelemetry component in the Azure Function startup.cs.

Project.csproj:

    <PackageReference Include="OpenTelemetry.Exporter.Jaeger" Version="1.0.0-rc1.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="OpenTelemetry.Extensions.Hosting" Version="1.0.0-rc1.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNetCore" Version="1.0.0-rc1.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http" Version="1.0.0-rc1.1" />

Startup.cs:

            builder.Services.AddOpenTelemetryTracing((builder) => builder
                .SetResourceBuilder(ResourceBuilder.CreateDefault().AddService("workflow"))               
                .AddAspNetCoreInstrumentation()
                .AddHttpClientInstrumentation()
                .AddJaegerExporter(jaegerOptions =>
                {
                    jaegerOptions.AgentHost = "localhost";
                    jaegerOptions.AgentPort = 6831;
                }));

I’m getting the following error:

[2020-11-21T00:59:37.448Z] A host error has occurred during startup operation 'a1099142-3c92-4e8b-aef2-1bd8e68bc0c1'.

Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'provider')

What did you expect to see?

I ran this same pieces of code in other application: ASP.NET Core WebApp (not Azure Function) and is running successfully, I’m able to visualize the tracing in Jaeger, but I can’t run it successfully in the Azure Function App project.

Additional Context

Add any other context about the problem here. If you followed an existing documentation, please share the link to it.

I’m using this example as reference: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet/tree/master/examples/AspNetCore

Thank you, RC

no information is exposed in jaeger.

Could you share more on this - are you create activities using ActivitySource yourself, and they are not shown in Jaeger? Or are you relying on the instrumentations like Sql/Http, and activities from these are not shown in Jaeger?
