DiagnosticListener.AllListeners.Subscribe(new SqlClientObserver());

public class SqlClientObserver : IObserver<DiagnosticListener>
{
 public void OnNext(DiagnosticListener listener)
 {
 if (listener.Name == "SqlClientDiagnosticListener")
 {
 listener.Subscribe(new SqlClientEventObserver());
 }
 }

 public void OnError(Exception error) { }
