Overview ▾

Package trace provides an implementation of the tracing part of the OpenTelemetry API.

To participate in distributed traces a Span needs to be created for the operation being performed as part of a traced workflow. In its simplest form:

var tracer trace.Tracer

func init() {
	tracer = otel.Tracer("instrumentation/package/name")
}

func operation(ctx context.Context) {
	var span trace.Span
	ctx, span = tracer.Start(ctx, "operation")
	defer span.End()
	// ...
}

A Tracer is unique to the instrumentation and is used to create Spans. Instrumentation should be designed to accept a TracerProvider from which it can create its own unique Tracer. Alternatively, the registered global TracerProvider from the go.opentelemetry.io/otel package can be used as a default.

const (
	name    = "instrumentation/package/name"
	version = "0.1.0"
)

type Instrumentation struct {
	tracer trace.Tracer
}

func NewInstrumentation(tp trace.TracerProvider) *Instrumentation {
	if tp == nil {
		tp = otel.TracerProvider()
	}
	return &Instrumentation{
		tracer: tp.Tracer(name, trace.WithInstrumentationVersion(version)),
	}
}

func operation(ctx context.Context, inst *Instrumentation) {
	var span trace.Span
	ctx, span = inst.tracer.Start(ctx, "operation")
	defer span.End()
	// ...
}

API Implementations

This package does not conform to the standard Go versioning policy; all of its interfaces may have methods added to them without a package major version bump. This non-standard API evolution could surprise an uninformed implementation author. They could unknowingly build their implementation in a way that would result in a runtime panic for their users that update to the new API.

The API is designed to help inform an instrumentation author about this non-standard API evolution. It requires them to choose a default behavior for unimplemented interface methods. There are three behavior choices they can make:

  • Compilation failure
  • Panic
  • Default to another implementation

All interfaces in this API embed a corresponding interface from go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace/embedded. If an author wants the default behavior of their implementations to be a compilation failure, signaling to their users they need to update to the latest version of that implementation, they need to embed the corresponding interface from go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace/embedded in their implementation. For example,

import "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace/embedded"

type TracerProvider struct {
	embedded.TracerProvider
	// ...
}

If an author wants the default behavior of their implementations to panic, they can embed the API interface directly.

import "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace"

type TracerProvider struct {
	trace.TracerProvider
	// ...
}

This option is not recommended. It will lead to publishing packages that contain runtime panics when users update to newer versions of go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace, which may be done with a trasitive dependency.

Finally, an author can embed another implementation in theirs. The embedded implementation will be used for methods not defined by the author. For example, an author who wants to default to silently dropping the call can use go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace/noop:

import "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace/noop"

type TracerProvider struct {
	noop.TracerProvider
	// ...
}

It is strongly recommended that authors only embed go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace/noop if they choose this default behavior. That implementation is the only one OpenTelemetry authors can guarantee will fully implement all the API interfaces when a user updates their API.

Constants

const (
    // FlagsSampled is a bitmask with the sampled bit set. A SpanContext
    // with the sampling bit set means the span is sampled.

ContextWithSpan returns a copy of parent with span set as the current Span.

func ContextWithSpanContext

func ContextWithSpanContext(parent context.Context, sc SpanContext) context.Context

type EventConfig struct {
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func NewEventConfig

func NewEventConfig(options ...EventOption) EventConfig

func (*EventConfig) Attributes

func (cfg *EventConfig) Attributes() []attribute.KeyValue

Attributes describe the associated qualities of an Event.

func (*EventConfig) StackTrace

Link is the relationship between two Spans. The relationship can be within the same Trace or across different Traces.

For example, a Link is used in the following situations:

  1. Batch Processing: A batch of operations may contain operations associated with one or more traces/spans. Since there can only be one parent SpanContext, a Link is used to keep reference to the SpanContext of all operations in the batch.
  2. Public Endpoint: A SpanContext for an in incoming client request on a public endpoint should be considered untrusted. In such a case, a new trace with its own identity and sampling decision needs to be created, but this new trace needs to be related to the original trace in some form. A Link is used to keep reference to the original SpanContext and track the relationship.
type Link struct {
    // SpanContext of the linked Span.
    SpanContext SpanContext

    // Attributes describe the aspects of the link.
    Attributes []attribute.KeyValue
}

func LinkFromContext

Warning: Methods may be added to this interface in minor releases. See package documentation on API implementation for information on how to set default behavior for unimplemented methods.

type Span interface {
    // Users of the interface can ignore this. This embedded type is only used
    // by implementations of this interface. See the "API Implementations"
    // section of the package documentation for more information.
    embedded.Span

    // End completes the Span. The Span is considered complete and ready to be
    // delivered through the rest of the telemetry pipeline after this method
    // is called. Therefore, updates to the Span are not allowed after this
    // method has been called.
    End(options ...SpanEndOption)

    // AddEvent adds an event with the provided name and options.
    AddEvent(name string, options ...EventOption)

    // IsRecording returns the recording state of the Span. It will return
    // true if the Span is active and events can be recorded.
    IsRecording() bool

    // RecordError will record err as an exception span event for this span. An
    // additional call to SetStatus is required if the Status of the Span should
    // be set to Error, as this method does not change the Span status. If this
    // span is not being recorded or err is nil then this method does nothing.
    RecordError(err error, options ...EventOption)

    // SpanContext returns the SpanContext of the Span. The returned SpanContext
    // is usable even after the End method has been called for the Span.
    SpanContext() SpanContext

    // SetStatus sets the status of the Span in the form of a code and a
    // description, provided the status hasn't already been set to a higher
    // value before (OK > Error > Unset). The description is only included in a
    // status when the code is for an error.
    SetStatus(code codes.Code, description string)

    // SetName sets the Span name.
    SetName(name string)

    // SetAttributes sets kv as attributes of the Span. If a key from kv
    // already exists for an attribute of the Span it will be overwritten with
    // the value contained in kv.
    SetAttributes(kv ...attribute.KeyValue)

The unspecified value is not a valid `SpanKind`. Use `ValidateSpanKind()` to coerce a span kind to a valid value.

const (
    // SpanKindUnspecified is an unspecified SpanKind and is not a valid
    // SpanKind. SpanKindUnspecified should be replaced with SpanKindInternal
    // if it is received.

    // of client making a request to a server.
    SpanKindClient SpanKind = 3
    // SpanKindProducer is a SpanKind for a Span that represents the operation
    // of a producer sending a message to a message broker. Unlike
    // SpanKindClient and SpanKindServer, there is often no direct
    // relationship between this kind of Span and a SpanKindConsumer kind. A
    // SpanKindProducer Span will end once the message is accepted by the
    // message broker which might not overlap with the processing of that
    // message.
    SpanKindProducer SpanKind = 4
    // SpanKindConsumer is a SpanKind for a Span that represents the operation
    // of a consumer receiving a message from a message broker. Like

type SpanStartEventOption interface {
    SpanStartOption
    EventOption
}

func WithAttributes

func WithAttributes(attributes ...attribute.KeyValue) SpanStartEventOption

WithAttributes adds the attributes related to a span life-cycle event. These attributes are used to describe the work a Span represents when this option is provided to a Span's start or end events. Otherwise, these attributes provide additional information about the event being recorded (e.g. error, state change, processing progress, system event).

If multiple of these options are passed the attributes of each successive option will extend the attributes instead of overwriting. There is no guarantee of uniqueness in the resulting attributes.

type SpanStartOption interface {
    // contains filtered or unexported methods
}
func WithLinks(links ...Link) SpanStartOption

MarshalJSON implements a custom marshal function to encode TraceID as a hex string.

func (TraceID) String

func (t TraceID) String() string

type TraceState

TraceState provides additional vendor-specific trace identification information across different distributed tracing systems. It represents an immutable list consisting of key/value pairs, each pair is referred to as a list-member.

TraceState conforms to the W3C Trace Context specification (https://www.w3.org/TR/trace-context-1). All operations that create or copy a TraceState do so by validating all input and will only produce TraceState that conform to the specification. Specifically, this means that all list-member's key/value pairs are valid, no duplicate list-members exist, and the maximum number of list-members (32) is not exceeded.

type TraceState struct {
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func ParseTraceState

func ParseTraceState(tracestate string) (TraceState, error)

ParseTraceState attempts to decode a TraceState from the passed string. It returns an error if the input is invalid according to the W3C Trace Context specification.

func (TraceState) Delete

func (ts TraceState) Delete(key string) TraceState

Delete returns a copy of the TraceState with the list-member identified by key removed.

func (TraceState) Get

func (ts TraceState) Get(key string) string

Get returns the value paired with key from the corresponding TraceState list-member if it exists, otherwise an empty string is returned.

func (TraceState) Insert

func (ts TraceState) Insert(key, value string) (TraceState, error)

Insert adds a new list-member defined by the key/value pair to the TraceState. If a list-member already exists for the given key, that list-member's value is updated. The new or updated list-member is always moved to the beginning of the TraceState as specified by the W3C Trace Context specification.

If key or value are invalid according to the W3C Trace Context specification an error is returned with the original TraceState.

If adding a new list-member means the TraceState would have more members then is allowed, the new list-member will be inserted and the right-most list-member will be dropped in the returned TraceState.

func (TraceState) Len

func (ts TraceState) Len() int

Len returns the number of list-members in the TraceState.

func (TraceState) MarshalJSON

func (ts TraceState) MarshalJSON() ([]byte, error)

MarshalJSON marshals the TraceState into JSON.

func (TraceState) String

func (ts TraceState) String() string

String encodes the TraceState into a string compliant with the W3C Trace Context specification. The returned string will be invalid if the TraceState contains any invalid members.

type Tracer

Tracer is the creator of Spans.

Warning: Methods may be added to this interface in minor releases. See package documentation on API implementation for information on how to set default behavior for unimplemented methods.

type Tracer interface {
    // Users of the interface can ignore this. This embedded type is only used
    // by implementations of this interface. See the "API Implementations"
    // section of the package documentation for more information.
    embedded.Tracer

    // Start creates a span and a context.Context containing the newly-created span.
    //
    // If the context.Context provided in `ctx` contains a Span then the newly-created
    // Span will be a child of that span, otherwise it will be a root span. This behavior
    // can be overridden by providing `WithNewRoot()` as a SpanOption, causing the
    // newly-created Span to be a root span even if `ctx` contains a Span.
    //
    // When creating a Span it is recommended to provide all known span attributes using
    // the `WithAttributes()` SpanOption as samplers will only have access to the
    // attributes provided when a Span is created.
    //
    // Any Span that is created MUST also be ended. This is the responsibility of the user.
    // Implementations of this API may leak memory or other resources if Spans are not ended.

func (t *TracerConfig) InstrumentationAttributes() attribute.Set

InstrumentationAttributes returns the attributes associated with the library providing instrumentation.

func (*TracerConfig) InstrumentationVersion

func (t *TracerConfig) InstrumentationVersion() string

InstrumentationVersion returns the version of the library providing instrumentation.

func (*TracerConfig) SchemaURL

func (t *TracerConfig) SchemaURL() string

SchemaURL returns the Schema URL of the telemetry emitted by the Tracer.

type TracerOption

TracerOption applies an option to a TracerConfig.

type TracerOption interface {
    // contains filtered or unexported methods
}

func WithInstrumentationAttributes

func WithInstrumentationAttributes(attr ...attribute.KeyValue) TracerOption

WithInstrumentationAttributes sets the instrumentation attributes.

The passed attributes will be de-duplicated.

func WithInstrumentationVersion

func WithInstrumentationVersion(version string) TracerOption

WithInstrumentationVersion sets the instrumentation version.

func WithSchemaURL

func WithSchemaURL(schemaURL string) TracerOption

WithSchemaURL sets the schema URL for the Tracer.

type TracerProvider

TracerProvider provides Tracers that are used by instrumentation code to trace computational workflows.

A TracerProvider is the collection destination of all Spans from Tracers it provides, it represents a unique telemetry collection pipeline. How that pipeline is defined, meaning how those Spans are collected, processed, and where they are exported, depends on its implementation. Instrumentation authors do not need to define this implementation, rather just use the provided Tracers to instrument code.

Commonly, instrumentation code will accept a TracerProvider implementation at runtime from its users or it can simply use the globally registered one (see https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/otel#GetTracerProvider).

Warning: Methods may be added to this interface in minor releases. See package documentation on API implementation for information on how to set default behavior for unimplemented methods.

type TracerProvider interface {
    // Users of the interface can ignore this. This embedded type is only used
    // by implementations of this interface. See the "API Implementations"
    // section of the package documentation for more information.
    embedded.TracerProvider

    // Tracer returns a unique Tracer scoped to be used by instrumentation code
    // to trace computational workflows. The scope and identity of that
    // instrumentation code is uniquely defined by the name and options passed.
    //
    // The passed name needs to uniquely identify instrumentation code.
    // Therefore, it is recommended that name is the Go package name of the
    // library providing instrumentation (note: not the code being
    // instrumented). Instrumentation libraries can have multiple versions,
    // therefore, the WithInstrumentationVersion option should be used to
    // distinguish these different codebases. Additionally, instrumentation
    // libraries may sometimes use traces to communicate different domains of
    // workflow data (i.e. using spans to communicate workflow events only). If
    // this is the case, the WithScopeAttributes option should be used to
    // uniquely identify Tracers that handle the different domains of workflow
    // data.
    //
    // If the same name and options are passed multiple times, the same Tracer
    // will be returned (it is up to the implementation if this will be the
    // same underlying instance of that Tracer or not). It is not necessary to
    // call this multiple times with the same name and options to get an
    // up-to-date Tracer. All implementations will ensure any TracerProvider
    // configuration changes are propagated to all provided Tracers.
    //
    // If name is empty, then an implementation defined default name will be
    // used instead.
    //
    // This method is safe to call concurrently.
    Tracer(name string, options ...TracerOption) Tracer
}

func NewNoopTracerProvider

func NewNoopTracerProvider() TracerProvider

NewNoopTracerProvider returns an implementation of TracerProvider that performs no operations. The Tracer and Spans created from the returned TracerProvider also perform no operations.

Deprecated: Use go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace/noop.NewTracerProvider instead.
