  • MaxPayloadSizeInBytes: Maximum payload size - for .NET versions other than 4.5.2 (default 4096).
  • ExportProcessorType: Whether the exporter should use Batch or Simple exporting processor .
  • BatchExportProcessorOptions: Configuration options for the batch exporter. Only used if ExportProcessorType is set to Batch.

See TestZipkinExporter.cs for example use.

This exporter allows easy configuration of ZipkinExporterOptions from dependency injection container, when used in conjunction with OpenTelemetry.Extensions.Hosting.

See the Startup class of the ASP.NET Core application for example use.
