```builder.Services.AddOpenTelemetry() .WithTracing(trace => trace.AddAspNetCoreInstrumentation() .ConfigureResource(resource => resource.AddService( serviceName: serviceName, serviceVersion: serviceVersion)) .AddOtlpExporter(otlp => { otlp.Endpoint = new Uri($"http://{builder.Configuration["Otel:Collector"]}"); otlp.Protocol = OtlpExportProtocol.Grpc; }));```

this does seem to start putting in a minimum amount of data, though I'm still not finding everything I'm looking for

I think it's user error at this point though, but thanks
