Does Aspire.Confluent.Kafka support distributed tracing?

[duskembayev]

Hello!
I am using Aspire with Kafka and have found metrics, but I haven't come across any functionality related to tracing. Does Aspire.Confluent.Kafka support distributed tracing?

I don't think the underlying client library supports distributed tracing 😢.

open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet-contrib#1493 added an OTel-contrib library to add distributed tracing for Kafka.

However, that library hasn't been published to nuget.org yet. https://www.nuget.org/packages/OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.ConfluentKafka

@g7ed6e says in open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet-contrib#1493 (comment):

However this is not ready yet, there's still some work before publishing.

You can always find out what telemetry targets an Aspire integration library supports by looking at:
