Can we get instrumentation support for Net/SMTP?

[kohder]

We have an internal system that sends a lot of email via Ruby's Net/SMTP. We'd like to be able to instrument these SMTP calls. Looks like it would be similar to the existing integration for Net/HTTP.
Thanks!

Hey @kohder, this seems like a straightforward suggestion. I'll add it to our feature request list.
I doesn't seem too different from our existing Net::HTTP integration, so I don't see many complications on this one.

I see that this integration is in Planning since April.

Is there some update on when this is in development?

Looking forward to this.

Hey y'all! Sorry for the radio silence; we're still considering this feature but haven't picked it up yet.

I'll unassign @marcotc to make it clear that it's yet to be decided.

Please do comment if this is important for you, as it does get push things closer to the top of the list 😄

We have a related update: ActionMailer integration has been merged and will be shipped with the next ddtrace release.

If you happen to use Net::SMTP through ActionMailer this integration might provide the visibility needed.

I understand that this does not address all Net::SMTP use cases, but I think it's worth bringing up in this thread.

@marcotc I think you meant Net::SMTP in the previous message.

@paneq, yes, edited, thank you!
