Description

Im looking for the labels/keys for the event counters so I can add some of them to my monitoring. Specifically App Insights, I require the labels/keys and the "core" counters includes this in the "well-known" eventcounters documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/diagnostics/available-counters

You already have the available counters in this article, but there is no way to find the labels/keys. Even a simple link to the defining class in github would be a real help.

Research direction
The issue requests the labels/keys for EF Core event counters, which are missing from the documentation. First, locate the EF Core source code that defines these event counters, likely in the dotnet/efcore repository under the Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Diagnostics namespace. The documentation page to update is entity framework/core/logging events diagnostics/event counters.md. Add a link to the relevant source file or list the event counter names with their corresponding labels/keys as per the .NET documentation. No PRs are linked, and the issue remains open with 5 comments, so confirm with maintainers if a direct link is acceptable.
