There is also a basic series of Unit-tests showing who to assert against the telemetry being called with specific
To use application and view it's telemetry, simply open the solution and run the .NET Aspire Sample.AppHost project. Once loaded, you can click the link in the endpoint column of the running application to load a Scalar-based UI where you can interact with the application.
| Step | Image |
|---|---|
| Open the project and find the Endpoint column, click the link to the running application. |  |
Scroll down to the endpoint you want to test, and click the Test Request button. |
 |
Press the  (Play) button a few times to sent the request. It's a good idea to send a lot of requests to see how the telemetry appears in the dashboard. This includes randomly simulated failures. |
 |
The resulting telemetry will appear in the various sections of the .NET Aspire dashboard. Here are some examples:
