Entity Framework 6

Quick start

edit

You can enable auto instrumentation for Entity Framework 6 by referencing the Elastic.Apm.EntityFramework6 package and including the Ef6Interceptor interceptor in your application’s web.config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <entityFramework>
        <interceptors>
            <interceptor type="Elastic.Apm.EntityFramework6.Ef6Interceptor, Elastic.Apm.EntityFramework6" />
        </interceptors>
    </entityFramework>
</configuration>

As an alternative to registering the interceptor via the configuration, you can register it in the application code:

DbInterception.Add(new Elastic.Apm.EntityFramework6.Ef6Interceptor());

For example, in an ASP.NET MVC application, you can place the above call in the Application_Start method.

Be careful not to execute DbInterception.Add for the same interceptor more than once, or you’ll get additional interceptor instances. For example, if you add Ef6Interceptor interceptor twice, you’ll see two spans for every SQL query.
