## Summary Create a dedicated "portable dashboard" for OTel .NET. This uses metrics available in the [contrib](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet-contrib) runtime metrics library. These metrics are opt-in and not enabled by default in the vanilla SDK. Our Elastic distro brings in the package and enables them by default. Therefore, the dashboard will only work if a) the customer uses our distro or b) they enable the metrics themselves when using the vanilla SDK. Further, work is ongoing to define [semantic conventions for .NET runtime metrics](open-telemetry/semantic-conventions#1035). Once complete, the metrics will be implemented directly in the .NET runtime BCL and be available with no additional dependencies. The goal is to achieve that by .NET 9, which is not guaranteed. At that point, the metric names will change to align with the semantic conventions. This is not ideal, but it is our only option if we want to provide some form of runtime dashboard with the current metrics and OTel distro. As with elastic#182107, this dashboard uses a table for some of the data and this table doesn't seem to reflect the correct date filtering. Until there is a solution, this PR will remain in the draft, or we can consider dropping the table for the initial dashboard.  (cherry picked from commit 0600309)
