Summary

  • warn that malicious or compromised senders can submit excessive or maliciously shaped telemetry
  • document telemetry spoofing through sender-controlled resource attributes such as service.name
  • clarify that storage limits reduce retained memory usage but do not eliminate ingestion-related resource exhaustion
  • recommend authentication, network restrictions, gateway limits, telemetry limits, and host monitoring

Validation

  • git diff --check
  • VS Code MDX diagnostics

Pull request overview

Expands the Aspire Dashboard security considerations to better communicate ingestion risks from untrusted telemetry senders and to recommend layered mitigations.

Changes:

  • Adds explicit warning that OTLP endpoints should only accept telemetry from trusted sources and that sender-controlled resource attributes can enable telemetry spoofing (e.g., service.name).
  • Reframes “Memory exhaustion” as broader “Resource exhaustion” and clarifies that storage limits don’t prevent ingestion-time CPU/network/memory pressure.
  • Adds defense-in-depth recommendations (auth, network restrictions, gateway limits, telemetry limits tuning, host monitoring).

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
