.NET custom attributes

Attributes are key-value pairs containing information that determines the properties of an event or transaction. You can create custom attributes using the AddCustomAttribute API.

When adding custom attribute values to transactions, custom events, spans, and errors, the API accepts an object. This describes how these values are processed and how they will appear in APM. In all cases, NULL values are not recorded.
