Flare.Aspire

Package ID Flare.Aspire, not Aspire.Flare - that prefix is reserved on nuget.org for Microsoft's own official integrations. Same project (src/Aspire.Flare), same builder.AddFlareOtlpExporter(...) API - only the published package name differs.

.NET Aspire client integration for Flare - a self-hosted, OpenTelemetry-native log dashboard for .NET developers.

Points your app's OTLP log exporter at Flare.Ingest, reading the connection info injected by .WithReference(flare) on the AppHost side (see Flare.Hosting.Aspire):

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.AddFlareOtlpExporter("flare");

var app = builder.Build();
app.Run();
// AppHost
var flare = builder.AddFlare("flare");

builder.AddProject<Projects.MyApi>("myapi")
    .WithReference(flare); // injects ConnectionStrings__flare -> Flare.Ingest's OTLP/gRPC endpoint

AddFlareOtlpExporter registers a named OTLP log exporter, additive alongside whatever exporter your app's own OpenTelemetry setup already registered (e.g. the Aspire dashboard collector via ConfigureOpenTelemetry()/UseOtlpExporter()) - it doesn't replace it. Today ingestion is pure OTLP with no auth, so this package's job is small: read the connection string and point an exporter at it. It exists mainly as a forward-compatible seam - once Flare's "Auth + multi-user / roles" roadmap item lands and ingest needs an API key/token, this is the natural place to attach it to the exporter, the same job Aspire.Seq's client package does today for Seq's own API key.

Logs and traces - Flare.Ingest doesn't receive OTLP metrics yet (a separate, later roadmap item with a materially different data model than traces).
