+## Observability
+
+### Tracing
+
+The Aspire RabbitMQ Client integration includes the following activity sources for OpenTelemetry tracing:
+
+- `Aspire.RabbitMQ.Client` - Tracks connection establishment and retry attempts.
+- `RabbitMQ.Client.Publisher` - Tracks message publishing operations.
+- `RabbitMQ.Client.Subscriber` - Tracks message consumption operations.
+
+Tracing is enabled by default. To disable it, set `DisableTracing` to `true` in the settings:
+
+```csharp
+builder.AddRabbitMQClient("messaging", settings => settings.DisableTracing = true);
+```
+
 ## AppHost extensions
 
 In your AppHost project, install the `Aspire.Hosting.RabbitMQ` library with [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org):
