New Features

• .NET Metrics .NET Metrics are application numerical measurements collected at regular time intervals for the purposes of monitoring and alerting about application health. In an ODP.NET setting, metrics can monitor connection statistics, such as number of ODP.NET hard connections to the database, number of active connections, or number of free connections. Starting with version 23.3.2, ODP.NET Core supports .NET Metrics. Note: The ODP.NET metrics source name is "Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Core" for ODP.NET Core.
• OpenTelemetry – Automatic Instrumentation and Dynamic Enablement ODP.NET adds new OpenTelemetry automatic instrumentation support that delivers traces to observability backends without requiring source code changes. ODP.NET OpenTelemetry is now enabled automatically. It no longer requires adding Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.OpenTelemetry NuGet package nor calling AddOracleDataProviderInstrumentation() extension method to enable OpenTelemetry. ODP.NET OpenTelemetry is now enabled by default. It can be turned off or on by setting OracleConfiguration.OpenTelemetryTracing to false or true, respectively. It can also be set in the OpenTelemetryTracing .NET configuration file setting for .NET Framework. Note: The ODP.NET activity source name is "Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Core" for ODP.NET Core. Note: Applications will still need to add Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.OpenTelemetry NuGet package to the application and call the AddOracleDataProviderInstrumentation() extension method by passing in an OracleDataProviderInstrumentationOptions object to set non-default option settings.
