Logging with scopes #9406

What do you expect to see when there is a scope? There aren't separate events when a scope is started or stopped. If you want log entries when a scope is started or stopped you'll need to add them with the scope. A scope has attributes and those attributes are automatically added to any logs inside the scope. For example, the log below is making a HTTP request. But the log entry includes attributes from the parent HTTP request scope (ConnectionId, RequestId, RequestPath).

In my case, I use a proxy class to take care of basic logging for my DataAccess classes.
The thing is I searched up and down but did not find the scope. During debugging, I can check that the scope is active. |

I think what you're asking for isn't possible because the dashboard doesn't have that data. Name/value properties from the scope are added to the log entry when data is serialized to OTLP and sent to the dashboard, but that's it. You could ask on https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet about sending more data, but OTLP is designed to be generic to OpenTelemetry and isn't customized to support features specific to .NET logging. |

Yep, I would switch to activities instead of using logging scopes if that's the experience you want. |
