Set up SqlClient instrumentation

For the full compatibility matrix including supported installation methods, refer to Data access technologies.

This page assumes the core agent is already set up. If not, see Set up the APM .NET Agent first.

Add the Elastic.Apm.SqlClient NuGet package to your project:

dotnet add package Elastic.Apm.SqlClient
		

Pass SqlClientDiagnosticSubscriber to the AddElasticApm method in case of ASP.NET Core:

using Elastic.Apm.SqlClient;

app.Services.AddElasticApm(new SqlClientDiagnosticSubscriber());
		

or passing SqlClientDiagnosticSubscriber to the Subscribe method and make sure that the code is called only once, otherwise the same database call could be captured multiple times:

using Elastic.Apm;
using Elastic.Apm.SqlClient;

Agent.Subscribe(new SqlClientDiagnosticSubscriber());
