[Feature] Need a way to get Tracing either from OpenTelemetry or ActivitySources, I don't see either in the codebase.

Need a way to get tracing either from OpenTelemetry or ActivitySources, I don't see either in the codebase.

If I did happen to miss them, just provide the way to enable them.

If there a different way I could do this with middleware, to have trigger just before message is picked up, and after message is handled. I could add my own Tracing.

We don't have it. I'm not opposed to adding it somehow, but I also don't really know much about it.

Tracing can be done by either ActivitySource or OpenTelemetry.

• ActivitySource - Part of C# framework, and works for any shipper
• OpenTelemetry - an open source standard, that can do BOTH tracing and shipping. (Supported by Elastic, DataDog, Sentry, and many more...)

I'd recommend using ActivitySource to Write the traces, and then just test that they work with OpenTelemetry Console Logging. Which can be helpful.

If someone wants to collaborate, please reach out. But I'm not going to write this for free all on my own (unless I happen to need it myself)
