How to use Aspire Dashboard with pull-based logs and metrics

[flibustier7seas]

Aspire Dashboard seems to be built around a push model, where applications send metrics and logs via OTLP. However, in my setup, I use a pull model instead.

I have several applications running in Kubernetes. They write logs to stdout, which are then scraped and stored by a logging system. Similarly, each application exposes a Prometheus-compatible /metrics endpoint, and metrics are collected by separate scraping jobs.

I’m looking for a way to integrate Aspire Dashboard with this kind of setup without modifying the applications themselves.

One idea I had was to run sidecar containers that scrape logs and metrics and forward them to Aspire. But I’m wondering if there are any existing solutions, tools, or extensions that would allow Aspire to scrape data directly, avoiding the need for additional containers.

Any suggestions or examples would be helpful.
