Built on OpenTelemetry

The Aspire Dashboard is your command center during development. Powered by OpenTelemetry — the industry-standard observability framework — it automatically collects traces, metrics, and structured logs from every resource in your AppHost using OTLP (OpenTelemetry Protocol) and surfaces them through a rich, interactive UI. No vendor lock-in, no proprietary agents — just open standards.

Resources at your fingertips

See the health, endpoints, and state of every service, container, and project in your application at a glance. Start, stop, and restart resources directly from the dashboard.

Distributed traces, demystified

Follow requests across service boundaries with detailed span-level traces. Quickly identify bottlenecks, errors, and latency issues in your distributed application.
